“I think the reason he did it was mainly to just promote chaos...”

Can we say the Anarchists formed his demented mind?

Thanks for finding this SE Mom.

Loughner is 22, four years past the age when he became a legal adult. Not much they could do. For this we must thank the Democrats who gutted our mental health system in the 1960's and 70's.

He’s 22, legally an adult. He’s no longer a student, not a dependent even for tax law purposes. Also he’s in the age range when the onset of schizophrenia is most common. If he’d been 16, “where in the world were his parents?” would be a reasonable question.

Where were they? Who knows? Too distant so he went off the rails for lack of guidance, too controlling and too much in his life so he rebelled by getting into drugs the moment he got a chance.

Leave his parents out of it, except to pray for them. This is their tragedy—losing a son to madness—as much as it is a tragedy for those who lost children, siblings, parents, or grandparents to death.

Even if they called police and reported him as a danger to himself or others, the best they could have gotten was a temporary lockup in a psychiatric facility for three days.

He’s an adult. However, if the parents saw this when he was younger, and did not take steps to get this guy into treatment and on medication with regular trips to a doctor, they are pretty complicit.

Note that he deteriorated when he stopped pot and alcohol. He was self-medicating which should have given his parents a clue.

They may have tried though, who knows until the story comes out.

That is the question of the week and where was the sheriff, when the college police went to killer’s home to tell him to stay away because of his threatening actions/words in class?

This psycho killer may be just the tip of a very dangerous and large group of similiar young men.

Our younger relatives describe as guys like this pos, as failures to launch. These losers in life, live at home with their mother, parents or an older sibling.

They have zero job skills and spend a lot of time at the local community colleges pretending to be students.

They seldom work because they have zero job skills and people skills.

They are big fans of the night time talk show hosts, and creeps like Letterman cater to them with their Bush/Palin/Palin children battering.

Most haven’t had a date in years if ever. In today’s world where intelligent young women often run a credit check on anyone wanting to date them. These losers have no chance re romance in todays world.

So they replace that possibility with drugs and possibly homosexual partners.

They love Obama, because he promises them our earnings for his votes.

When Obama tells them to bring a gun to a knife fight or he will kick butt, they get glassy eyed and join similiar losers to help their cult leader, Obama.

The man is 22 years old and obviously crazy.

At some point, "the parents" are no longer an issue.

His parents were existing the never ending dark hell on earth of living with a mentally ill child, for whom few resources are available or affordable for the middle class

Think I'm kidding? Check out the process of involuntary psychiatric commitment of a teenager who really hasn't (yet) harmed anyone, and the out-of-pocket costs of doing do

As with an alcoholic, out patient diagnosis treatment and management of mental illness requires that the patient accept his illness and want to get well-

From what I am reading it is doubtful that Jared accepted he was sick, but lived the obsession that the rest of society was screwed up

The onset in his teenage years, voices in his head, obsessive habits, suggest schizophrenia

the pot smoking as a HS freshman etc may have induced additional psychosis, yes it is a side effect of what many believe to be a harmless pastime

His mother was busy being a high-level bureaucrat in Pima County.
