Redstate: Outspoken Sheriff Accused Of Dismissing Loughner Death Threats "Reportedly, Loughner had a history of making public death threats that been ignored by the Pima County Sheriff's Department... What the The Cholla Jumps site is alleging - and which has not yet been confirmed- is the following: Jared Loughner has been making death threats by phone to many people in Pima County including staff of Pima Community College, radio personalities and local bloggers.

The question is, is this true?"
