After reading his youTube page, I am pretty sure this guy is a paranoid Schizophrenic
suffering delusions.

He certainly seems to be listening to his internal demons. We will see if he was listening to those demons on the radio.

1. HuffPo Sam Steins report on his YOUTUBE channel
Sam Stein:

There will be, in the next few days, painstaking efforts to uncover and understand the background of Jared Lee Loughner, the alleged shooter of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. And right now reporters are generally going off of bits of information taken, primarily, from Google searches.

The most illustrative window is Loughner’s YouTube account, which appears to be hub of anti-government zealotry, obsession over currency and language standards, and, to put it bluntly, outright paranoia.

“In conclusion, reading the second United States Constitution, I can’t trust the current government because of the ratifications: the government is implying mind control and brainwash on the people by controlling grammar,” he writes in one video posting. “No! I won’t pay debt with a currency that’s not backed by gold and silver! No! I won’t trust in God!”

Here is a link to Loughner’s YouTube site.

There are also some biographical details that can be culled from the page. Loughner attended Mountain View High School, Northwest Aztec Middle College, and Pima Community College. He also appears to have been in the armed forces, at one point in time.

“Every United States Military recruit at MEPS in Phoenix is receiving one mini bible before the tests,” he writes in one video. “Jared Loughner is a United States Military recruit at MEPS in Phoenix Therefore, Jared Loughner is receiving one mini bible before the tests."

2. Another psychiatrist on DU
Tell you what, why don't we leave this up to the trained professionals that will be provided at tax payer expense, to make that decision?

5. That may well be true, but there are people here who will deny it no matter how much proof there is.
Deniers do not recognize proof.

Just because people really, really do not believe or want this man not to be mentally ill does not make it so. No matter how much people want these shootings to be politically motivated so that the rightwing extreme may be blamed that does not negate the possibility that this man is mentally ill. That in no way exonerates those who fanned the flames and encouraged the demons of his mental illness with their rhetoric.

8. Skitzo? Drug abuser?
I hope they test his blood, he sounds to me like someone who cooked his brains on some strong stuff. His fascination over the very basics of logical operations (I program so logic is I) and his obsession (see his youtube account) reminds me of a druggie. But then I am no doctor. If we don't have a Jack Ruby enter the scene, I am sure we will get a lot of medical opinions before and during his trial. But before turning political, please remember this is something that all Americans abhor. So far I have found that he is a reader of Mein Kampf, a flag burner, and an anti-government anarchist with limited mental capability. Democrats hate guns, and republicans hate flag burners. Branding this guy a representative of either party is a misuse of this tragedy. I think this guy was just sick.
P.S. I am a member of the majority party - the Independents.
