Deputy Dipstick is responsible for Loughner’s actions. Loughner was reacting to Deputy Dipstick’s incompetence and hateful disposition.

There’s definitely going to be a big ol’ lawsuit by the victims against mom and dad, Pima County and the Sheriff... ouch, that’s gonna hurt.

They’ll all turn on each other, rats that they are...

Ol’ Jared will just sit there smilin’ that wacky smile...

So unfortunate...

When I first heard of this incident it was his press conf., I thought it was very strange he would do such a thing, and now I understand and agree with you, other than Loughners himself, the responsibility for the errors and omissions and the second most responsible appears to be Dupnik.

O.K., I’m not going to defend Sheriff Dupnik here; but, I am going to defend his deputies. I would imagine that the sheriff of a community the size of Tucson would have never heard of Loughner. Sorry, that is a simple fact. Do I detest Dupnik’s attitude following this incident. Absolutely, I do. I also know that the deputies in the county that had contact with this guy are not psychiatrists; nor should anyone expect them to be. Everything I read about this psycho does not raise any red flags to me that there was any failed prosecution here. In hindsight Pima County looks like a collection of Keystone cops; however, I would venture to guess that each incident ended without violence and in a large community like this if it ends peacefully resources have better use elsewhere. So, by all means fault this guy for his history of stupid statements; but, please, lets not act as if our Sherlock Holmes hindsight would have somehow gotten this guy sent to the federal pen for 136 years prior to this shooting. In a city like Tuscon no one is going to prison for yelling, no matter how scary they look.
