Can I ask where you heard he claimed to have been at Kent State? I have been searching for a link to that all evening.
I think they might be confusing Fuller with Randy Gardner.

This list, BTW, is what I’m basing my analysis of Loughner’s aim/accuracy rate on.
Yep that’s what I’m thinking too. We will soon know, I’m sure.
I think he was trying to run away from the scene and hit his knee on a shopping cart.
This guy is the lowest kind of loser.
From a post of mine a couple of days ago........
“Was listening to Megyn Kelly on Fox.
Two points:
1) Woman who grabbed the magazine was interviewed. She said the shooter was going down a set of chairs outside the Safeway, which were for people at the event held by Giffords, and simply firing off shots one-by-one, aimed at whoever was in that chair.
2) The updated DHS memo overnight, per Fox (forget the reporter), contains no reference to American Renaissance.

Also, remember that one of the guys who tackled Loughner was inside the Safeway buying cigarettes, heard the shots and ran outside, where he was able to tackle Loughner. Imagine how a grocery store is laid out, and its doors. Now, think about the time and vision needed to do that, with chairs along the wall.
This would have happened at near point blank range in under 2 minutes.
The 2 men who tackled Loughner are inspiring.
Yes, and the woman who grabbed the magazine also.
I wasn’t aware that there were chairs. There’s a diagram of the set-up on the 2nd page at http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/special/politics/giffords-shooting-timeline/?sid=ST2011011405035 and it shows them standing so that’s what I thought the situation was.
If they were on chairs it makes more sense that he was shooting low, but it means that the vital organs would have been even closer to the legs and - to my gun-ignorant mind - even stranger that he didn’t hit vital organs at point-blank range.
Somewhere else I asked for insight on the marksmanship since I’ve never shot a gun. Somebody said a 9mm is hard to be accurate and deadly with. I know the story is that Loughner practiced with a 9mm gun with one of his buddies so he must have had some skill with a gun.
Time to tuck in my daughter. Reading about husbands and moms who threw their own bodies in front of the spray of bullets to protect their wife or daughter makes me want to hold my family tight.
On Huffington Post there seems to be a question as to whether Fuller or Randy Gardner is the Tucson victim with a leg wound who has reminiscences about Kent State.
He said he drove himself to the hospital.
Like most libs, personal experience aggrandizement is just another liar's way to impress the masses that they are the answer to all their troubles. If anyone digs deeper in this guy's past is likely be find lots of very interesting of not disturbing things. I will not be surprised to learn Fuller has some connection with the shooter (as posted by another).
if not disturbing ..... my Proofreader just stepped in.
Just watched a CNN Candy Crowley piece (normally would never watch CNN, but am traveling and CNN is only English TV available) on this very subject per Tucson and to CNN’s surprise everyone of their interviewees said this was a mental health issue, not one related to politics and each exclaimed how difficult it was to get treatment or control for schizos like the shooter.
Thank you.
See link at post 62, it’s Gardner not Fuller according to the WAPO.
Learned their lesson?
I was mighty surprised at CNN allowing such proclamations although they did not actually point any fingers at liberals as the causation. Maybe there is some hope.
Why has no one commented on WHICH service he was supposedly have been a member of? I don’t think he has ever been in the military!
Is there anyway to find out if this nutjob actually did any service in the military?
“Why has no one commented on WHICH service he was supposedly have been a member of? I dont think he has ever been in the military!”
Good question. If this were a Republican or conservative making this claim, his entire life history would be published by now.
