Just like Hasan. Everyone KNEW what was coming.

Everyone SUPPORTED what was coming by their silence.

Before Jimmah Carter released the insane from asylums, society was safer. Now, it is their right to make sane people cower in fear. Credit should be given to the Pimo Co. Community College staff, who actually took action to protect their students from this occult-worshiping crazy by barring him from their campus.

For anyone who happens to be actively researching insane mass murderer Jared Lee Loughner --- apparently he was known to his college profs as, "Jerry."

Want to bring this to your immediate attention for any google searches you are conducting that MAYBE Jared used this nickname somewhere online.

The NYT says people are asking "Why, why, why, why?

While the Miami Herald AP story explains it quite clearly.

[Excerpt]...........Loughner’s alienation from his friends was gradual.

The Loughner they met when he was a freshman at Mountain View High School may have been socially awkward, but he was generally happy and fun to be around. The crew smoked marijuana every day, and when they weren’t going to concerts or watching movies they talked about the meaning of life and dabbled in conspiracy theories.

For a time, Loughner drank heavily, to the point of poisoning himself, the friends said. Once, during school lunch break as a junior, he downed so much tequila that he came back to class, within five minutes passed out cold, had to be rushed to the hospital and “almost died,” one friend said.

Mistrust of government was Loughner’s defining conviction, the friends said. He believed the U.S. government was behind 9/11, and worried that governments were maneuvering to create a unified monetary system (”a New World Order currency” one friend said) so that social elites and bureaucrats could control the rest of the world.

On his YouTube page, he listed among his favorite books “Animal Farm” and “Brave New World” - two novels about how authorities control the masses. Other books in the wide-ranging list included “Mein Kampf,” “The Communist Manifesto,” “Peter Pan” and Aesop’s Fables.

Over time, Loughner became increasingly introspective - what one of the friends described as a “nihilistic rut.”

An ardent atheist, he began to characterize people as sheep whose free will was being sapped by the government and the monotony of modern life.

“He didn’t want people to wake up and do the same thing every day. He wanted more chaos, he wanted less regularity,” one friend said.

The friends said Loughner told anyone who would listen that the world we see does not exist, that words have no meaning - and that the only way to derive meaning was during sleep. Loughner began obsessing about a practice called lucid dreaming, in which people try to actively control their sleeping world.

Several people who knew Loughner at community college said he did not engage in political discussions - in fact, he didn’t talk much at all, and when he did classmates cringed.

“He made a lot of the people really uncomfortable, especially the girls in the class,” said Steven Cates, who attended an advanced poetry writing class with Loughner at Pima Community College last spring. Though he struck up a passing friendship with Loughner, he said a group of other students went to the teacher to complain about Loughner at one point.

Another poetry student, Don Coorough, said Loughner read a poem about bland tasks such as showering, going to the gym and riding the bus in wild “poetry slam” style - “grabbing his crotch and jumping around the room.”

When other students, always seated, read their poems, Coorough said Loughner “would laugh at things that you wouldn’t laugh at.” After one woman read a poem about abortion, “he was turning all shades of red and laughing,” and said, “Wow, she’s just like a terrorist, she killed a baby,” Coorough said.

“He appeared to be to me an emotional cripple or an emotional child,” Coorough said. “He lacked compassion, he lacked understanding and he lacked an ability to connect.”

Cates said Loughner “didn’t have the social intelligence, but he definitely had the academic intelligence.”

“He was very into the knowledge aspect of school. He was really into his philosophy classes and he was really into logic and English. And he would get frustrated by the dumbed-down words people used in class,” Cates said.

Loughner expressed his interest in grammar and logic on the Internet as he made bizarre claims - such as that the Mars rover and the space shuttle missions were faked.

He frequently used “if-then” constructions in making nonsensical arguments. For instance: “If the living space is able to maintain the crews life at a temperature of -454F then the human body is alive in the NASA Space Shuttle. The human body isn’t alive in the NASA Space Shuttle. Thus, the living space isn’t able to maintain the crews life at a temperature of -454F.” [End Excerpt]

Great reporting. Now we need someone to find out about his parents. Who are they, why haven’t they been interviewed or the associates of them been interviewed? How was his mother able to get the charges dropped against him? If the sherrif hadn’t dropped the charges, would he have been able to legally purchase a gun?

Rush should read the Miami Herald’s story on the air today. People need to hear these facts instead of CNN’s Left-wing spin of this tragedy.

In a situation like this why doesn’t the concerned person call every imaginable local, state, and federal agency until SOMEONE pays attention.

I can’t imagine having something like this on my conscience. To have known and not done enough...but at the same time, with today’s PC rules/laws would “they” have been able to stop Loughner? We’ll never know now.

When I was in college,once a semester I would always have a Jared Loughner type in one of my classes.

We all knew this type was nutz and usually they would NEVER make it through the semester.

Back then, when the nut job started making the class uneasy like Jared Loughner did, a couple of big guys would sit RIGHT next to him and the frenzy of his his rhetoric would stop IMMEDIATELY.

Now they would call it bullying, back then it was self policing our own class and the professors were always grateful.

Once the msm takes a breath and quits blaming Palin, the TEA party and talk radio for a moment or two, they might ask themselves their standard Oprah questions about his parents and homelife. That they haven't makes me wonder if the parents are Demonrat/obama voters.

I blame the political correct mania for this.
If anyone had spoken out, they would have been sued; so, nobody said anything.
You can’t have it both ways.
