It would take a lot more than one indecent to do what you are proposing. Also imagine how their heads would spin if they were taken to court over this and everyone who is a member flooded the media outlets world wide on how ludicrous it was that a government in a free nation tried to ban a site by trying to stir up fears of this or that.
They wouldn't be able to stop us.

This is what AP is reporting:
"Mistrust of government was his defining conviction, the friends said. He believed the government was behind 9/11, and worried that governments were maneuvering to create a unified monetary system ("a New World Order currency" one friend said) so that social elites and bureaucrats could control the rest of the world."
If you read his postings here, they really didn't seem to have anything to do with 9/11. He had a few posts about the monetary system but as far as I could tell it wasn't about the NWO.
The MSM is trying to portray him as the typical conspiracy theorist but if you look at what he wrote, it wasn't typical ATS writing.
This is getting interesting.
The AP reporter is only 'reporting' what his friends said. Who were this 'friends' and did Jared actually said those stuff that millions around the world are already often talking about?
Looks more like a slant by MSM to paint those who discuss about 911/NWO as nutjobs and capable of brutually murdering others the next morning. Another way to stifle and silence critics. Guess 911/NWO is really hitting TPTB big time that they need to put fear into others to stop the discussions.
There are thousands of people who believe like he does and they don't go on murderous rampages.
Some rantings of Loughlin on abovetopsecret.com. To their credit they are keeping them intact for investigators

It's only a matter of time before this is reported throughout the media. I just hope they don't portray everyone here as crazy, as that is not the case at all. Most people here have alot to offer the world.
In my opinion, I think the owner should release an official statement on the matter ASAP, and spread it to the major networks as a preventative. Quotes from people who responded with concern to this crazy killers ramblings could help our cause.edit on 9-1-2011 by Negotium of Verum because: =(

It would be horrifying to find out if those stars were given because people supported what he did.
If the stars came later, they either agreed with what he did or wanted to start yet another controversy. Either way it is ignorant and uncalled for.

The "Erad3" user account was banned primarily to prevent mischief. There's a great deal of information about Loughner becoming public, meaning it may be possible for someone with a desire for inappropriate mischievousness to guess his password and attempt to post via the account.
The threads remain in public so as to aid those who are attempting to understand who Loughner is and what drove his madness. The threads he started are closed to prevent potential confusion (caused by new replies) for those doing their research.
