Something about this entire event in extremely wrong and more people need to wake up and realize that they are literally being toyed with through the packaging of mainstream media.

For example: In the previously posted video(pink-hair guy outside with goofy glasses reporter), it is fairly evident that the pink-haired guy is being extremely vague and safe with his word choice and descriptions(as the reporter also does), so much in fact that around the time they go into their rambling about how Jared was "passive and agressive" and whatnot, you can literally hear their forced conversation stagnating. Yet it all made the airwaves, because if they would have only put up a smaller piece it would have been more obvious that the guy is saying pretty much nothing.

Here's what I can gather from all pink-haired guy's description(s) of what happened: He took an advanced poetry class with Loughner. In that class(and possibly the whole school) it was common knowledge that Jared was 'off' and 'disconneceted'. People 'didn't understand him' quite literally 'when he spoke,' it didn't make sense. In other words, Jared had some kind of mental problem(Why pinky doesn't just call it that I'm not sure). So, that advanced poetry class(prob. 20-25 students I'm guessing), decided to shun him because he made them 'uncomfortable'(The 'friend' only manages to throw in one detailed example of this- something about Jared clenching his knuckles alot- which seems pretty stupid if you ask me. Rather than attempt to get him real help(his incredibly crappy poetry should have been a big indicator in an advanced poetry class), they kick him out, and/or pinky doesn't quite remember if Jared was there at the end(because he said this the interview after he said Jared was kicked out).

And then, of course, there's the obvious details: You're telling me this guy decided to wear his obnoxious, pink hair, paint his nails bright purple and bust out the teeny band shirt for a serious interview about his disturbed former friend Jared the safeway shooter? Not to mention that the interview was conducted at PCC(where pinky and jared knew each other), even though the interviewer says that pinky actually goes to U of A. Why is this guy dressed like some kind of intentional weirdo yet he seems to be carving his details not with the purpose of giving detailed info. Its like he wants to tell us that Loughner was(and is) mentally unstable, but for some reason he's playing a game; he's attempting to give this impression without actually saying it, that is, through suggestive language. The goofy-glasses reporter helps him out in that regard, by parroting everything he says back to him in the form of another question. Unfortunately, forcing such a conversation under false pretenses yields noticeably bland results, if you're an actor, because it is already predetermined that both characters have the same goal, to suggest this info to the viewer. It really is like spotting bad acting.

People should trust their intuition more when looking into this case. I'm not telling you not to look for facts and observations- I'm saying look examine the most conventional aspects first, you'll see that something about the people interviewed as Jared's 'friends' seems forced or contrived.

*Oh, my mistake, it seems that pinky, "Steven Cates" did try to reach out to Jared. See Jared always sat at this bench in school ya know, just sitting there alone, being a loner, and Steeven decided to go sit there with him, and there the two would sit, Steven comparing poetry with Jared(because they were in poetry class together, and that is what poets always do: they write something and then immediately go show it to a mentally unstable guy who barely qualifies as an aquaintance, a guy who must have realllly sucked at poetry, if his youtube videos are any indication).

Yes. Its the mans chosen self-expressive style, damn that would be all the more reason to do it, because its televised lol.

Talk about over-analyzing something . How about that he's not a doctor, and really its safer to just imply people's character on national television then to be explicit?

I never said it was MKUltra. All I am proposing is that all the facts be looked at. To view the seven o'clock news - in any country and just accept what is given to you - is for people who do not think and who seem to want to be told what to think.

There is a lot in this world that is hidden from us - so much of what is televised is controlled to the nth degree.

I am all for exploring what we are given.

Much Peace...

He never said he was a doctor nor did I. Just because he's not a doctor doesn't mean that he understand what mental illness is on a basic level.

Apparently this guy saw Jared's outbursts most in the advanced poetry class, which I'm assuming was some smaller workshop-style class with less than 30 students. I've been in these classes, I've had the experience of being a fellow poetry student and I think at that level most everyone is a little 'weird', in a good way, because they are free thinkers and they focus on the creative. I know I've gotten away with saying things in my workshop classes that other teachers wouldn't ever allow. If Loughner was scaring his poetry class with his outbursts, his opinions, and his blatantly bad poetry, he must have been REALLY off.

In which case, why did no one try to get him help? Shouldn't the problem have been glaringly obvious? The guy's brain was scrambled.

But that still doesn't explain why pinky can't seem to outright say that Jared's had a mental problem. I mean, pinky seems like a smart individual, a wordsmith, if you will. The reporter isnt asking him to diagnose him on-air but that doesn't mean he can't give his opinion. No, the whole interview seems very fishy. You need to put yourself in this guy's shoes. There is a reason he says everything that he does, and there is a reason he doesn't say everything that he doesn't. All of these interviews were used to paint a picture of Loughner to the general public: Drug-user, NON-political, conspiracy theorist, nihlist(which is just there way of saying 'we don't really know what to tell you this guy believed in, let's just say he believed in nothing).
