Once again, confirmation - from a professional in the field - that Loughner was a paranoid scizophrenic. His demons were not political but personal and sensible only to himself.

That was my first thought when I saw his YouTube video, but what do I know?

not too long ago he was calling his friends at 2am asking them if they were sitting outside his house. He pushed them away out of fear they were trying to kill him. Clearly he was paranoid.

Yet he was a contributor on Daily KOS and fitted right in.

Seriously, Leftist websites are great places to conceal pathognomoneia. Like hiding leaves in a forest.

It was obvious to me and I don’t even work in this field. The media and that idiot sheriff should be ashamed of themselves.

I posted this Sunday but it’s worth a short excerpt.

Loughner posted on a board called abovetopsecret.com. Last July another member TOLD Loughner he was a schizophrenic and to seek help before hurting himself or others.

I’ve since gone back to see if this user posted any follow-ups and could find none. But it’s amazing to me that this one guy who never met Loughner and only “diagnosed” him via Loughner’s posts, was dead-on.

Below I have just one post of Loughner’s to give you a taste of the guy’s mental ability and then the exchange between the other (sane) member and Loughner:



Loughner Post -

Though shall wish the alien zombie away!

If this is a nightmare situation then hope that the alarm is set.

This is a nightmare situation.
Hope the alarm is set.



This next one is a statement by another user, mordant1, to erad3 (erad3=Loughner), telling him to seek help. Then a response from erad3 (date is July 11, 2010):

(mordant1) I have maybe made a mistake is my assessment of your avatar, because for that to be the case, you’d have to be at least somewhat rational, but I think youre frankly schizophrenic, and no that’s not an amateur opinion and not intended as an uninformed or insulting remark, you clearly make no sense and are unable to communicate. I really do care. Seek help before you hurt yourself or others or start taking your medications again, please. Maybe, it’d be better for some there be an infinite source of haldol or cogentin then fiat currency.

[edit on 11-7-2010 by mordant1]

reply by erad3 I can occasionally change the avatar into other stick figures for humor. I didn’t say anything about an amateur opinion from anyone. I enjoy the concern because of the misspellings of words that occur.

There’s trouble with misspelling of words in all posters. This is fine because of the Edit button. Don’t stereotype the misspellings of words ! The inductive argument is frightening for scholarly research. Ill get to the location of the currency in the next post. Thank you for the concern.

Many years ago, I lived upstairs from a woman and her elderly mother. The woman seemed a little odd but OK but we did not know them at all. Turned out, that was when the daughter was taking her meds.

One day, mom shows up at my door pleading for help. He daughter was off the meds and had held her mom prisoner for several hours. During the course of the next several hours, I had to be with the daughter to make sure the mom was going to be safe (the police were useless). Among other things, the daughter accused me of preventing her from driving by putting severed heads on the front seat of her car. She was serious and it wasn’t a rant. She knew it to be true and was trying to tell me reasonably that she knew about the whole thing.

Had she listened to Rush Limbaugh and thought he was telling her to imprison her mom, does that make him responsible for the woman’s acts? Insane has its own internal logic that reaches out and gets random stuff from the world and works it into the craziness. I just happened to be around so I got to be the severed heads guy.

Confirms what I have always believed that the shooter not only has mental illness but I do believe demonic possession as well.

Right! Practising psychiatry without a patient should be a crime! How the hell does this jerk KNOW anything about Jared? It is all remote hearsay.

No true professional would ever do this. This guy is a QUACK!!!

The problem I see it is that as a society we’ve “defined deviancy down” to such a degree it’s increasingly harder to tell the paranoid schizos from the headbangers, or the Beavis/Butthead types, or the victims of BDS etc. etc. etc.

Paranoid Schizos have always been with us. The problem is that the mainstream is a hell of a lot nuttier than it used to be! So the paranoid schizos might be just that or they might just be tree hugging new agers or 911 Truthers or Bush Haters or Medical Marijuana users or or or - you get my point!
