My bad - I meant Roll - I didn't catch that middle name nor middle initial - that's probably what zuropa_fit meant too.. and had a typo like me...
Dupnik said the shooter had previous run-ins with the law and had threatened to kill someone before.
There had been "difficulties" at Pima Community College where Loughner attended, Dupnik said. One student, who had a poetry class with Loughner, said he would often act "wildly inappropriate."
"One day he started making comments about terrorism and laughing about killing the baby," classmate Don Coorough told ABC News, referring to a discussion about abortions. "The rest of us were looking at him in shock… I thought this young man was troubled."
Another classmate, Lydian Ali, recalled the incident as well.
"A girl had written a poem about an abortion. It was very emotional and she was teary eyed and he said something about strapping a bomb to the fetus and making a baby bomber," Ali told ABC News.
In the YouTube profile, the account holder, identified as Loughner, lists "The Communist Manifesto" and "Mein Kampf" among his favorite books.
Gun in Tucson shooting legal
(AP) –
WASHINGTON (AP) — A law enforcement official tells The Associated Press that the handgun used in a shooting that killed a federal judge and wounded a U.S. congresswoman in Tucson, Ariz., was purchased legally. U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was shot in the head Saturday morning during an event with voters outside a local grocery store. U.S. District Judge John Roll, and at least five others, were killed in the attack.
The official, who has been briefed on the investigation, spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss details of the case. Officials have identified the shooter as 22-year-old Jared Loughner of Tucson. He is in custody. The Washington Post reported late Saturday that Loughner purchased the gun Nov. 30 from the Sportsman's Warehouse in Tucson.
Dude, you'd want to have your irony detector switched firmly on when reading Deep's posts.

UPDATE: Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords can respond to and follow simple command this morning, say her surgeons.
It does make you think, though, about the possible side effects of the anti-government fervour that talk show hosts with a wide reach to everyday Americans try and stir up to pad their pocketbooks. All it takes is one crazy person.
