YouTube video that prompted the suspension of Tucson shooting suspect Jared Lee Loughner in September was released Friday by officials at Pima Community College and included rambling statements such as "We are examining the torture of students" and "This is genocide in America."
The video, no longer on the website, was released to The Times following a public records request and offers the extended example of Loughner's voice.

It would have been great if he was stopped because of his history and red flags, but nobody had any idea he was going to do what he did until he did it. Do you really want the Gov. to start arresting people because of what they think people COULD do before they even do it? It is like that move 'Minority Report' where they look into the future then arrest people before they commit the crime they were going to do. If he had stated his plan then by all means arrest him, but they really didn't know how crazy he was until he carried out his evil acts.edit on 14-1-2011 by tooo many pills because: (no reason given)

Honestly, after watching that video, Loughner reminds me of Alex Jones worshipers. The ones who twist every single fact of life into a conspiracy, and think every establishment is illegal and violates the constitution. He is definitely stuck in a conspiracy induced psychosis. In fact, he reminds me of Alex Jones himself, however I don't think Alex believes half the rubbish he makes other people believe.
I know Alex has an effect on the weak minded. Loughner is the type I worry about when I notice Alex Jones spitting fear, paranoia, and lies into the microphone as if it were the truth. It puts people into a mindset which can get them to see the world in a different way. That is good only in some cases, but mostly bad because you can get stuck that way. If you do it too much then you won't even see reality for what it actually is. It contaminates your view and opinion of reality and causes confirmation bias which causes you to think your opinion is a fact.
If you think everyone is out to get you constantly, you set your self up to misunderstand the intentions of others, and people who are not out to get you only appear to be because of confirmation bias. Then, you start to notice the ones who actually are out to get you more often, and that confirms your beliefs even more. That is when your reality becomes contaminated and you are stuck in a psychosis. I believe that is what happened to Loughner. He let conspiracies rule his life.
Interestingly, I heard Loughner actually was a Alex Jones listener.
Now, I'm going to get attacked by the A. Jones cult.

He's not, and though I'm not an AJ Fan, I have to come to somewhat of a defense here.

You can't throw out accusations like that, and not support it. That's the exact thing that the MSM is doing, which is exactly why people seek other sources for their news.
