Shooting Rampage in Arizona. (Suspect's videos included)

Our nation is shocked by the horrendous tragedy that took place in Tucson, AZ, today.  After a shooting rampage, Jared Loughner, 22, left six people dead and twelve injured.  Among the injured was Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, a moderate Democrat who recently won her third term in Congress.  She is married to Navy Capt. Mark Kelly, a NASA astronaut who is scheduled to lead a space shuttle mission to the International Space Station. Another of the injured identified was one of Congresswoman Giffords' Senior aides.

Speaker of the House John Boehmer and Arizona Representative Gabrielle Giffords

Among the dead were Judge John Roll of  Arizona.  Roll was a 1991  George H.W. Bush appointee to the federal bench.  A friend of the congresswoman, Judge Roll had gone to the scene to congratulate her.  He was the chief judge for the U.S. District Court for Arizona.  Also among the six dead was an innocent nine year old girl. 


Although critically wounded in the head, Congresswoman Giffords has survived the surgery.  She is still in critical condition in the ICU and the surgeons are optimistic about her recovery. 


Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of those murdered at the scene, as well as the injured.  We wish them a swift recovery.  We pray for Congresswoman Gifford's complete recovery and her successful return to Congress.





The Shooter


Jared Loughner the suspect who is now in the custody of the Arizona police is described as a Caucasian, 22 year of age.  Reports tell the he has had run ins with authorities in the past and has a police record.  As a student at Pima Co. Community College he was described as troubled. 


Loughner, it appears by all the evidence, went to the gathering with the intent to kill Congresswoman Giffords.  After his shooting rampage where he is said to have fired some 20 rounds of ammunition, and would have done even more damage had he not been tackled by two bystanders. 


There remains a great deal of speculation about Jared Loughner, who is described by those who knew him as a pot smoking loner.  He was apparently obsessed  with government brainwashing and mind control 


Some media outlets described him as an Army recruit, but it was later learned that the Army had rejected him when he attempted to enlist.  He never served in the United States Military. 


We are including in this report video rants that Loughner had posted on You Tube  in which he makes unintelligible rants about "English Grammar" and "a new currency."  He appears unable to differentiate between his dreams and reality.  Lawyers speculate that when he is indicted, the defense might resort to an insanity plea.  His bizarre behavior is reminiscent of that of other would be killers and assassins such as John Hinckley,  who shot President Ronald Reagan, and  Mark Chapman, who murdered John Lennon. Like Columbine killers, Klebold and Harris, Loughner also left behind cryptic emails which indicated that he was about to commit a horrific crime, and asks his friends that they not be angry with him.


As of this writing, law enforcement agents in Arizona are now seeking a second  person whom they suspect was also involved. 


The videos below illustrates Loughner's bizarre behavior.







In this You Tube video, Loughner introduced himself.





This bizarre video "A Nation of Terrorists" which includes a flag burning is purported to be one of Loughner's favorite videos.







Jared Loughner, the suspect in the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, left this strange rambling video on his YouTube account with the title: "My Final Thoughts".He describes his favorite books as "Mein Kampf" and "The Communist Manifesto".




Two Sisters From The Right join the voices of reason that plead with the nation. and particularly the media, not to degrade this tragic event by making it out to be due to politics or political disparity.  Unfortunately, we always, throughout our history, have witnessed the deadly and unexplained behavior of psychotic, disturbed and deranged minds.  We ask that all wait until all the evidence is in before judgement is passed.  No one, of any party or political group, condones this  complete disregard for human life.
