Jared Loughner
Jared Loughner[1] is a 22-year-old atheistic[2] left-wing nihilist,[3] described by former public school classmates as a "pothead"[4] likely on hallucinogenic drugs,[5][6] who is being formally charged with a shooting spree that left 6 dead and 14, including a congresswoman, injured on January 8, 2011.[7]
Jared Loughner would reportedly say to friends:[8]
| “ | I'm pretty sure I've come to the conclusion that words mean nothing. | ” |
and that
| “ | Life 'means nothing.' | ” |
Jared Loughner mocked an Army policy of distributing mini-Bibles to new recruits.[9] He publicly listed The Communist Manifesto, Mein Kampf and We the Living by Ayn Rand as some of his favorite books.[10] Loughner had a occult shrine in his backyard and was obsessed with the occult and mind control. [11] Throughout Loughner's attendence at his public high school, it was part of a network called Small Schools Workshop, which was founded by communist and terrorist Bill Ayers and funded in the 1990s by Barack Obama.[12]
Loughner failed a urine drug test when he applied to join the U.S. Army, and was rejected for that reason.[13] But as of January 10, 2011, there has been no release of any drug tests performed on Loughner following the shooting. Arizona recently passed a law legalizing medical marijuana.[14] His close friend claimed that Loughner has been drug-free since 2008.[3]
