...He sang to himself in the library. (click title to entry - thank you) He spoke out of turn. And in an act the college finally decided merited his suspension, he made a bizarre posting on YouTube linking the college to genocide and the torture of students.
“This is my genocide school,” the narrator on the video said, describing the college as “one of the biggest scams in America.” “We are examining the torture of students,” the narrator said.
The documents offer vivid firsthand accounts of Mr. Loughner’s contacts with law enforcement officials in the months leading up to the shootings, and will inevitably be studied closely for answers to whether the college did everything it could have, and should have, with him....
Anti-social behavior, seemingly strange and unexplained behavior that is attention seeking and bold, confronting authorities, confronting police, etc. The school is lucky he didn't cut loose in a classroom which is why there was a new committee set up.
He practiced with guns, he had at least one friend.
Sorry. He is not craxy.
...Many acquaintances and friends and fellow students at the college have talked about his outbursts and inappropriate behavior. The reports describe how Mr. Loughner behaved when confronted or questioned about his actions, and the images and perceptions that officers from the college’s Department of Public Safety recorded show a mixture of behaviors, by turns odd, belligerent or silent and removed, sometimes all in the same encounter....
He was a very disturbing individual. Obviously. If he could have been arrested I am confident the police would have done it. He was smart, he knew how far to go. He didn't want his plans messed up. It sounds to me as though he was ready to die for his cause. He was simply preparing to do so in the only way he knew how. I couldn't be more sincere and I am not one that favors the death penalty either.
One other thing. There is nothing at this point that says 'his will' was cast in iron. He could have easily gone through a complete turn around and simply walked away with gross embarassment with his peers. I am sure his friends were 'calling him' on his attitude and his behavior in hopes he would do exactly that.
HE WASN'T A LEADER OF A PACK, either.
...At one point, Mr. Loughner said he had paid for his classes illegally, according to Mr. Conover, and when pressed he said, “I did not pay with gold and silver.” Mr. Conover said that throughout the meeting, “Jared held himself very rigidly and smiled overtly at inappropriate times.”...
That is an integrated part of the Right Wing value system. DON'T TRUST THE COUNTRY'S CURRENCY.
...After an incident in February 2010 in which Mr. Loughner blurted out in a poetry class that dynamite ought to be attached to babies, a campus police officer wrote, “I suggested they keep an eye on him and call us if anything else developed that concerned them.”...
Ah, yes. Where have I heard this before?
Poetry class. Yep.
