Jared Loughner is an aspie?

Post Reply New Topic

I find it interesting how the media promptly fits every mass killer into the "he was a crazy loner" stereotype (and along with that now they're trying to link this guy to the Tea Party so as to give politicians carte blanche to destroy the movement), instead of just admitting that Evil exists, and that some people are just Evil.

KPHO in Phoenix had an article about this guy going to see a psychic for some sort of help with the voices he was hearing, and he scared her so much that she no longer does in person readings! She actually was afraid for her life, being around this guy! Really.

I do think there's an agenda to tag people with "mental illness" so they can be forcibly drugged for life by the drug companies so as to increase profits. The thing is, the crazy meds actually make people crazier than they would have been otherwise! And of course, locking people up for life leads to job security for prison guards and the prison-industrial complex.

But I don't think that any of that is overtly at work here, although anything the media can do to increase the power of its masters they will. This guy is simply evil. The journalists were raised on the idea that everything is environmental, nothing is innate, an idea that was disproved LONG ago. But they still want to push it.

I just think it's incredibly sad that this poor kid is having anything whatever discussed or analyzed about him in public, when the only source of information is the news media.

That trustworthy bastion of wholesomeness and unvarnished truth, gloriously free of partisan interests, never having an axe to grind, never feeling compelled to spin out any old sensationalist crap because it would make money.
Oh no; not ever would this be remotely true of the media...

We. Do. Not. Have. The. Facts.
Speculation. Is. Pointless.

I haven't personally put any effort into it but based on the way they've been describing him in the media I'd say he had alot more serious issues than asperger's, he sounded completely mentally incoherent.

All I can say is I knew it wouldn't take long for someone to ask this.

And that I never did.

What does it matter? The kid is sick and should be treated, and society needs to be protected from him.

That is all that matters. I don't care what he "has."

I think that he is definitely schizophrenic by his postings on sites and YouTube. I hate that fact that he is mentally ill, that damages my kind (I am also schizoaffective and so are my friends and they are nice and not dangerous in any way). My kind are portrayed by the media as animals that should be put down. Wild animals at that. According to the media we are highly dangerous people. No, maybe Anti Social personality disorder who doesn't care about people's rights or the law. But people who are diagnosed with a mental illness such as schizophrenia are more likely to be VICTIMS of crime, not the one who commits the crime. There are indicators that will increase violence among the mentally ill such as being off the meds and also being an alcoholic and a drug user. But these things increase violence among the non mentally ill as well. Now people on the streets will look at me with deadly eyes wanting to kill me because I am mentally ill. They want to get rid of me so I don't hurt others. I would NEVER hurt another person. The only person I am ever a danger to is myself. There are times like Jared that I talk in complete word salads but it doesn't make me evil. Based on his postings he has a thought disorder. Severe disorganized speech. Oh when will the media actually say that being mentally ill does not increase violence?? They should be forced to say that when a mentally ill person does in fact commit a crime. No, they want their ratings to be high. Half the time they make it sound the world is ending even with a simple shooting.

I don't believe it was easy to miss or that they missed it at all. I believe they are keenly aware of what happened and what they are doing.

Verdandi, I am not so sure because CNN and Fox News are making it sound like a random act of violence by a person with a mental illness. If you look at the location it shows rational cunning on behalf of Loughner.

he is mentally ill and with the lack of support network from family, friends, and the community at large. he was a ticking time bomb that was not given the care, treatment, and support. it seems to me his friendships were short,random, and ended suddenly by his choice of a text message and when he allegedly laughed outloud when a classmate read a poem about abortion, that is mental illness, not aspergers. if i had been in that class, i would have thought he was a sick f*****g douchebag. Sure it may not be all his fault as mental illness stems from so many influences/reasons/environments, etc. but He is ultimately responsible for his actions and i hope he gets put away for life.
