So the Sheriff -- who is blaming talk radio -- was aware that Loughner was a potentially homicidal maniac? Prior to the shooting?
Exactly! What did he know, and when did he know it? This is a very sad case that could have been avoided, and is a lesson to all of us. Schizophrenia is a terrible disorder, and can be dangerous to the person who has it and all those around them. It should not be ignored. Drug treatment for schizophrenia can be very effective. Also, what were the faculty at Pima thinking? I'm not blaming anyone for this shooting, but instead of trying to hang this tragedy on the Tea Party and Sarah Palin, the sheriff and others involved should be thinking about what they missed and how to prevent missing the same things in the future.
