Giffords Assailant A Stalker, Not A Political Radical

Addendum: If there ever was a clear example of why we should not legalize Marijuana due to how it destroys lives, Jared Loughner is that example. A quiet, talented gentle kid turned into a delusional pot head, who then turned into a mass murderer. Having seen how drugs can destroy people up close and first hand, I am not surprised at this well worn story. – end update

While the left wing drama queens all moan about how threatened they feel after being told to take a hike by the American people, the real story behind the shooting of conservative Democrat is the mental obsession of the shooter, who seems to be more a twisted stalker than any political radical:

Accused gunman Jared Lee Loughner appeared to have been long obsessed with U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.

A safe at Mr. Loughner’s home contained a form letter from Ms. Giffords’ office thanking him for attending a 2007 “Congress on your Corner” event in Tucson.

Mr. Loughner had complained to a friend about how he was treated by the Arizona lawmaker during an event several years ago, which aggravated Mr. Loughner, according to the friend.

Authorities allege Mr. Loughner’s anger exploded on Saturday. Shortly after 10 a.m., as U.S. District Court Judge John Roll greeted Ms. Giffords in front of a Safeway supermarket, authorities charged Mr. Loughner fired a Glock 9mm semiautomatic pistol into the back of her head. In the seconds that followed, say authorities, Mr. Loughner shot 19 others, six fatally, including the judge and a 9-year-old girl, before his gun jammed and he was wrestled to the ground.

Classic rejected stalker mentality. If Loughner could not have her, no one would.

Which brings us to all the real political radicals on the left now putting their sites on Sarah Palin. The left wing malcontents always enjoy an overabundance of projection. In all their lame and misguided calls against political threats, they threaten the one American women they fear the most – Governor Sarah Palin.

How many folks like Andrew Sullivan, sickenly obsessed with Sarah’s latest child and the gutter rumors that surround him, will finally twitch from rabid verbal assaults to physical ones? How many Daily Kos nut jobs will finally snap, and think ‘an eye for an eye’, even though there is no proof Rep Giffords – traitor to Speaker Pelosi – was ever really targeted by the right wing. I fathom to see the logic in going after a left of center conservative Dem when there are far left Dems all over the country which want to destroy America at its core values. It is this lack of basic logic which makes the left wings false accusations all the more pathetic.

The left may have already lit the fuse. Stinging from the recent national rebuke (and it was a big diss – make no mistake) there are enough border line violent thugs on the left who probably will pop off now. If the left can beat a man for selling “Don’t Tread On Me” signs at a local school or rampage through cities hosting economic summits, their desire to lash out must have hit the breaking point this weekend.

And we will all know whose heated rhetoric it will be who caused the real political radicals to explode over what is clearly a stalker.

    To be honest, AJ, that district was targeted in the 2010 campaign (the margin was 4,000 votes, it’s competitive).

    But your greater point is spot-on. Since the French Revolution, it has been the Left that used violence as the preferred option for dealing with political opponents. The French Terror, the Night of the Long Knives, the murder of 30 million by Stalin…all part of one policy. Kill all who oppose you.

    Conservatives don’t do that.

    your points are all good – just to play devils advocate, I should point out that this doesn’t establish any causal link with marijuana use. (btw, I know this makes me sound like I’m advocating such use, and I’m not, it’s just a point of logic)

    I’ve had dealings with people who were drug addicts as well, and I’ve seen that people with mental problems tend to gravitate towards drugs of various kinds (including alcohol) in an attempt to self medicate. So it’s a cause and effect question that we can’t really answer – is the drug use the cause of the mental illness, or is the mental illness the cause of the drug use?
