I read the entire article (bad habit of mine) and I found this one sentence veeeery interesting.

Tierney got used to spending the first ten minutes or so of every day together arguing with Loughner's "nihilist" view of the world.

Using that word is extremely telling IMHO. These are its definitions per Dictionary.com

total rejection of established laws and institutions.

anarchy, terrorism, or other revolutionary activity.

total and absolute destructiveness, esp. toward the world at large and including oneself

Philosophy:
a) an extreme form of skepticism: the denial of all real existence or the possibility of an objective basis for truth.
b) nothingness or nonexistence.

holding that existing social and political institutions must be destroyed in order to clear the way for a new state of society and employing extreme measures, including terrorism and assassination.

annihilation of the self, or the individual consciousness, esp. as an aspect of mystical experience.

Now this is when he was a 'kid' still in High School. Back in the 'good old days', he'd have been in an insane asylum pdq. So where were this Psycho's PARENTS?!? They had to know their kid was nuts, but they apparently did nothing.

And where are the parents NOW?? The MSM should be camped out on their front lawn!
(are the parents druggie whack-jobs too?)

Candor...once a child is leagal age the laws work against parents who might want to institutionalize their children. After a womans son had shot himself and another she spoke of the lifelong fight they had in seeking help for their son, from the age of ten. It was heartwretching hearing her story of multiple trips to mental health professionals...time and again...in every area within the healthcare system, from halfway houses to institutions, seeking answers and a way to help her son.

It is not uncommon even when medicine is even slightly effective that these people cease to take it and another episode insues....even with it.

It’s a tremendous burden on the parents and family members. So I say let’s wait and see, for it appears their was intervention several times along the way.
