Sheriff Releases Loughner's Arrest Records
CBS News Jan. 12, 2011
Tucson Shooting Suspect Jared Loughner and his Parents had Been in Contact With the Law Several Times Prior to the Massacre
By Joshua Norman

'Since 2004, 22-year-old Tucson shooting suspect Jared Loughner has had at least four known run-ins with the Pima County Sheriffs Department, not counting his arrest for the assassination attempt on Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.

Taken alone, Loughner's run-ins with police, including one arrest for marijuana possession and another for being drunk in school after fighting with his dad, seem normal for a slightly rowdy teenager. In context of the horrendous crime he is accused of, they may provide some insight into the deterioration of Loughner's mental state.

Below are descriptions of arrest reports provided by the Pima County Sheriffs Department involving Loughner and his parents."


You will have to read the article to find out.

San Diego judge picked to handle Loughner case

"U.S. District Judge Larry A. Burns of San Diego has been appointed to preside over the case of Jared Loughner, the Tucson man accused of shooting Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and killing a federal judge and five others."

"The appointment of Burns adds another San Diego name to the case that has captured international attention. The lawyers defending Loughner, Judy Clarke and Mark Flemming, are both from San Diego.

It also could mean that the high-profile case might end up in the downtown San Diego courthouse."

Anyone know anything about this Salvia substance Loughner's friend says he had been using lately? I had never heard of it til the Miley Cysrus Bong episode hit the press a few weeks ago. His friend told press Loughner had been using it frequently and it had changed him into someone the friend did not recognize. The friend says it caused Loughner to experience halucinations.

I think it is more likely that the salvia enhanced his hallucinations rather than caused them. But, that's just me.

"Salvia divinorum" or "Diviner's Sage"

Seems to me I just read something about using it for people at the end of life and I think Alzheimers. I'll try and find a link.

They just outlawed Salvia or made them take it off the shelves in December here I think. It can have bad reactions on some and it was being sold in the smoke shops.

This is a link to an open facebook "event" going on now. If you have facebook, I'm hoping the link will work and I'm hoping you'll join us in this Facebook Memorial for Tucson, AZ victims (and I'm hoping it's okay to put it here).

Obama said a few minutes ago that after he left the hospital a little while ago visiting the victims, that Gabrielle Giffords opened her eyes.

That is nothing short of a miracle. Bless you, Gabrielle!

I think of my 19 and 21 year old boys. Are you kidding me? Daniel Hernandez is so far beyond them its ridiculous. His parents must be so proud,and they should pat themselves on the back. What a fantastic man he is.

And to give a speech tonight, in front of the President, without notes, from his heart. I hope for great things for this young man. He's already proven his fine character. :)

MOO
