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."
Isn't ObamaCare officially the Ted Kennedy Memorial Socialized Medicine Bill?

Congresswoman shot; gunman in custody[42 min ago.]
The MSM will say that no matter that the guy was a liberal or a nut job or both it was still Sarah Palin and talk radio who made him act.
Unless the press is taken over by true journalists who report only the facts, this country is doomed.

You were saying, Mr. foul-mouthed blue boy?
This guy’s future is either being adjudicated insane or, in AZ, execution. I’ll be happy to see the latter.
BoyBlue is NOT the shooter.
Just another deranged lefty. I give him kudos for having the sense to shoot himself instead of some innocent human beings though.
What I see is someone trying to establish a defense in advance of his actions...
A left wing, dope smoking, rocker that reads the radicals. Sounds like a lot of liberal’s resumes.
Sadly Free Republic has some people into pot and into hating LTC Lakin.
> I’m sure by tomorrow the MSM will be describing him as a
> right wing Tea Party radical
Where have you been?
The Press have tagged him as a Tea Party radical pushed over the edge by Sarah Palin’s rhetoric.
All the major press all over the world has already run with that narrative.
Even if it were to be proved in the the end that he was a Lefty moonbat on Soros’ payroll and was paid by Soros to hit the Congresswoman for not being Lefty enough, the overwhelming majority of the world will think he was a Tea Party activist carrying out a subliminal directive issued by Sarah Palin.

“Unless the press is taken over by true journalists who report only the facts, this country is doomed.”
If people cancel newspapers and TV then we have a chance but Obama controls both. Fox is no better. If people pay cable and sat TV bills them part of that bill goes to each network to support CNN and MSNBC and the others.
He is described as a “loner”, BUT LIKELY DID NOT ACT ALONE???
AHH... evidence suggests one suspect — 22-year-old Jared Loughner, who is already in custody — likely did not act alone

Msnbc and CNN have already sainted her
Last week she voted against pelosi
Today she the greatest dem that ever lived
This whole thing is pitiful
Pray for the woman but why are we cancelling votes to repeal obamacare?
I think I just heard on the TV in the other room that the package contained nothing dangerous. It’s obvious this sheriff has an ax to grind and absolutely no information.
I have to wonder if the true investigators are with holding info from him. Maybe this dumb sheriff is the reason the feds are taking over. They know this guy can’t keep his mouth shut or his oppinions to himself.
I haven’t bought a paper in years. I get all my news from the internet. But, think about it. Who writes what is posted on FR? It’s the press. So, no matter if you don’t buy papers or don’t watch TV you still get the party line. The country’s only hope is REAL journalists.
“Anybody remember how “right wing violence” was named by the major media as the implied cause for the Kennedy assassination in the first hours?”
I don’t remember that, but I do remember the atmosphere of hate in Dallas being blamed.
