My take on the tragedy today...

Look everyone has their freaking two cents today about the nutter Jared Lee Loughner, who killed 5 people (at least count) critically injured a sitting congresswoman in Arizona and injured a handful of others. This guy is not a product of the tea party or any left wing (mainstream at least) groups. He is a lone anti-government, probably anarchist, atheist, nutter who is a few fries short of a happy meal. all you have to do is lok at his YouTube channel and you can see he isn't exactly making sense or even sane. Here are some exerpts from a article from a local paper, for the entire article click here

The suspected shooter has made death threats before and been contacted by law-enforcement officers, but the threats weren't against Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, Dupnik said. The suspect is unstable, Dupnik said, but the sheriff would not say he is "insane."(I would make that leap)
A former classmate of Loughner at Pima Community College said he was "obviously very disturbed. He disrupted class frequently with nonsensical outbursts," said Lynda Sorenson, who took a math class with Loughner last summer at Pima Community College's Northwest campus. Sorenson doesn't recall if he ever made any threats or uttered political statements but he was very disruptive, she said. He was asked to leave the pre-algebra class several times and eventually was barred from class, said Sorenson, a Tucson resident. Another Pima classmate, Lydian Ali, said Loughner would frequently laugh aloud to himself during the advanced-poetry class they attended. Only about 16 people were in the class, so Loughner's behavior stood out, Ali said. "It almost seemed like he was on his own planet, because his comments would have nothing to do with what we were talking about," Ali said. MySpace, YouTube and Facebook accounts maintained by Loughner suggest he has spent most of his life on the northwest side: His profile says he attended Thornydale Elementary, Tortolita Middle School, Mountain View High School. The online accounts also contain bizarre discussions of a new currency and literacy, as well as threatening and despairing messages. "WOW! I'm glad i didn't kill myself. I'll see you on National T.v.! This is foreshadow .... why doesn't anyone talk to me?.." he posted on MySpace Dec. 14.
How can you tell he's screwed up? He's still using Myspace! No I kid but in all seriousness this is no laughing matter. There will be a lot of finger pointing and name calling over the next few weeks but I will not participate in it. Why not you ask? Because I am taking a different view of this, this is the price we ultimately will and have to pay for living in a free society. People are free to do and say what they want as long as them doing so and saying things doesn't infringe on other people's rights. There are close to 350 million people (when you include illegals and people on VISAs) living in this country. There are bound to be a few crazies, most of the time they end up homeless, dead, in jail, or in some fringe group that wants to overthrow the government or something but every now and then they afflict damage on the rest of us. This is one of those cases. It happens, it sucks I know but it happens. Just be glad there were brave people (who are truly heros in my opinion) who were there to tackle him or this could have been MUCH worse.
