Raise a liberal/socialists/communist, expect death. According to the Communist manifesto, it's the natural progression of things...

Their son was an adult. I feel for them and what he did is not their fault. They have my sympathy.

There has to be a change in how we treat mental illness in this country. These parents must have known that Jared was having mental problems. The schools he attended should have been able to initiate the proper help for him. They should be able to do more than suspend a student. Any student exhibiting antisocial behavior should be subject to an intervention with the next of kin brought in to assist in helping the student.

What is the greatest hurdle is this idea that once a person is an adult (over 18) no one can intervene when they show signs of mental instability. It is my belief that a person with a mental problem cannot be expected to make any decision on their own to get mental help. It is like a person with an alcohol problem. They will be the last to consider going to a rehabilitation program.

Until we get a better hold on mental problems, we will continue to see people failing in such ways as they do themselves and others harm. We have let too many people end up in prisons because they cannot help themselves and no one is allowed to intervene to give them help.

Smith said Loughner's mother, Amy, had a good job with good retirement and pay, and Randy was a stay-at-home dad...

Their psycho son is an only child and he is 22 years old. Why would this family need a "stay-at-home dad"? This tells me they knew they had plenty to be concerned about.

The parents of Jared Lee Loughner, accused of shooting Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and 19 other people, were huddled in seclusion in their Tucson home Monday night...

Wait! I'm confused. Who did the shooting? His parents? I thought he did.

Don't ya just love journalists today. Can't write their way out of a wet paper bag.

Can you imagine conservative parents being written about so lovingly after their son killed 6 people?

BTW, the father sounds like a bum to me instead of a stay at home dad (his kid is 22!).
