TUSCON, Ariz ( KTLA) -- Jared Lee Loughner, the alleged Tucson gunman, was described Saturday as a politically radical loner. Now an internet trail emerged in which he apparently railed against the US government and told friends: "Please don't be mad at me".
There are unconfirmed reports that 22 year old Jared Lee Loughner once met with Rep. Giffords in 2007. A former high school friend said that he had often talked about meeting and talking with the congresswoman.
Arizona court records show Loughner has twice been charged with previous offenses. The first, in October 2007, related to the possession of drug paraphernalia. It was unclear what the second, a year later, related to. Both charges were dismissed after Loughner completed a "diversion program".
People who knew him described him as philosophical, a person who read a lot of books. On his YouTube page, Loughner listed among his favorite books "The Communist Manifesto," "Siddhartha," "The Old Man And The Sea," "Gulliver's Travels," "Mein Kampf," "The Republic" and "Meno."
One former high school friend Tweeted about knowing the accused gunman: "He was a pot head and into rock, like Hendrix, The Doors, Anti-Flag," she wrote. "I haven't seen him in person since 2007 in a sign language class. As I knew him he was left wing, quite liberal and oddly obsessed with the 2012 prophecy. He had a lot of friends until he got alcohol poisoning in 2006 and dropped out of school. Mainly a loner, very philosophical."
Should be ‘pot smoking’ LIBERAL.
He is a violent liberal, a liberal fascist. Unfortunately there are many more like him, waiting in the wings for further inspiration from the annointed one, in 2012.
Yea Whoraldo night as well have blamed Palin himself
I was livid.
This is a diary from the DailyKos site, not youtube.
If this really is tyesterday’s shooter, where are his facial scars from his suicide attempt that he claims to have made?
I don’t think this was posted by the same nut. A nut, yes, but not the one that pulled the trigger yesterday.
Anyone with even marginal intelligence could immediately see that all of her post was a paraphrasing.
Look mr marginal intelligence, the paraphrasing ended when she inserted the three dots and then made her comment that the” rat rep” was not even considered to be the main focus of the story by the station. no lefty TV station would ever use the term “rat rep”, because they are lefties they don't call democrats” RATS”. We do that and rightfully so. The problem I had was that in this context, using the pejorative term was in poor taste.Gabrielle Gifford is a blue dog, married to an astronaut and a church going 2nd amendment advocate who doesn't deserve the disrespect of that term. Diana was trying to say that the lib media didn't event understand the significance of the event. I am amazed that you still can't see the obvious. You can disagree with my assertion that it was in poor taste, but arguing that diana didn't say it, that the TV station did is absurd.
What an incredible bonehead you are.
We have no basis for a dialogue. That was clear many posts ago.
because I disagreed with You? your last 2 posts just called me names without advancing an argument.do you want to think or do you want to rant? I have a BA in Philosophy and a masters in education. I want to be challenged and to debate issues and ideas, not respond to being called names like dingdong. YOU HAVE NEVER RESPONDED TO MY ARGUEMENTS.
No. Because you're a bonehead. Your post make no logical sense. You are incapable of rational communication therefore ... no basis for dialogue.
I'm not interested in even trying with someone who slaps down the Victim Card either. No one is holding a gun to your head forcing you to reply to me so don't accuse me of wasting your time. Take responsibility for your own actions.
BTW that's spelled 'argument' and there is no reason to capitalize any of the letters. You should get your money back on the education degree.
