Ithink that we can get one thing straight. This individual was seriously mentally challenged and by any conceivablestandard needed custodial care. If itwas been managed by drugs, then custodial care was even more indicated as thosedrugs are difficult to sustain and going off them is the norm from reports thatI have noted.
Thereis really no grey area with this chap. Hewas nuts long before he got his hands on a gun and unloaded it into a crowdaround Gifford. Had Gifford not beenthere, would we have even heard of this?
Thistype of mental instability is completely identifiable, unlike recent examplesof teenage depression responses that are just as dangerous. It is inexcusable to provide close monitoringand necessary intervention.
The rulesare simple. On your meds, you check indaily and off your meds, you join a contemplation retreat to enjoy a drug clearmind. This allows maximum freedom ofaction for an afflicted person. The realmiracle is that we can manage it with meds at all.
Thisis not too great a price to pay in order to both protect society and manage thehuman resource in a positive manner.
Ifwe are fortunate, some practical good may come out of all this. In the meantime, my condolences to theaffected families caught in this horror.

(NaturalNews) Of all the senseless acts ofviolence we've seen over the years, today's shooting at a Gabrielle Giffordspublic event in Tucson
That she has been violently attacked by an individual who is obviously mentallyderanged is shocking and extremely disturbing. Almost as disturbing is how themainstream media has latched onto this story as a way to demonize anyone who believesin the
The utterly false and irresponsible accusation floating around certain circleson the 'net that Loughner was some sort of extreme right winger who targeted aDemocrat is extremely irresponsible and hateful. Giffordswas pro Second Amendment and publicly supportedthe right of the People to keep and bear arms. She's actually a gunowner who urged the
A pattern of psychiatric intervention?
What's clear from the shooting is that Loughnerwas gunning for EVERYBODY, not just Giffords.He unloaded multiple rounds (15 - 20 rounds, according to press reports) on anybodyand everybody standing nearby: Children, adults, etc.
Does this ring a bell for anyone? A young white male, disillusioned, confused,mentally deranged... and opening fire on innocent people? That's the pattern wesaw in the
In fact, numerous public shootings have been carried out by those who areeither on psychiatric medications or who have recently stopped taking them(which can be just as dangerous in the short term). Eric Harris and DylanKlebold talked about how their world had become like a dream, where theycouldn't tell the difference between the dream world and the waking world.Those arenow virtually the same words as Jared Lee Loughner who, in his various ramblings, talked about"sleepwalking" during the day and "conscience dreaming[sic]" at other times.
While we have no proof yet that psychiatric drugs are involved here, we do seea very suspicious pattern of mental instability that suggests a likelyconnection. The sleepwalking behaviors Loughner describes are, in fact, commonside effects of psychotropic drugs such as Ambien, which is famous for causing people to actually"sleep drive" into town and suddenly awake in the middle of the road,driving their car in their pajamas, with no knowledge of how they got there
(http://www.naturalnews.com/019413.html).
I must stress that we don't yet know whether Loughner was on sleepingmedications or psychiatric drugs, but his behavior fits the pattern of someone who was: The lack of touch withreality, the violent and indiscriminate shooting, and the interweaving of thedream world with the real world. These are red flags of someone who is eithersuffering from a severe nutritional deficiency that affects brain function(vitamin D, for example, is important for preventing schizophrenia) or someonewhose brain has been chemically altered through pharmacological intervention.

The phrase "young white male" should scream out the obviousstatistical link to ADHD drugs, by the way. NaturalNews is attempting todetermine whether Loughner was previously on psychiatric medications.
What is VERY clear at this point is that Loughner was not of the presence ofmind to be rationally affiliated with ANY political party: Not on the left, northe right. His apparent psychosis takes him way out of the realm of rationalparticipation in any particular philosophy. Even his favorite books listed onhis Myspace page adhere to no particularly consistent overriding philosophy. Hewas, however, fascinated with the question of what is real versus what's justan imaginary dream. He was a fan of
Don't be fooled by the MSM coverage of thisstory
Although there is still much more to emerge fromthis tragic event, it is clear that this is not some simple story about adisgruntled patriot who wanted to kill a Democrat. In fact, Loughner was nopatriot at all: He openly talked about burning the American flag.
Rather, this is really a story about mental illness in
• The chemical contamination of our food and water (fluoride, food additives,etc.)
• Widespread nutritional deficiencies that promote mental illness
• The scourge of the psychiatric drug industry and the widespread drugging ofteens and children
... and also, quite possibly:
• The "programming" of young males with extremely violent video gameswhich are now also used in the military to desensitize young adults to theviolence of killing. Loughner, by the way, was reportedly a military recruit.
As more facts emerge from this story, we will do our best to cover them here onNaturalNews. I am personally angered by these events as well as the mainstream media's outrageouslydishonest attempts to twist this story into some sort of "gun nut"angle, which it most definitely is not.
I am also extremely saddened at the loss of life that occurred today, right inTucson, virtually right next door to where I used to shop for organic produceat the Whole Foods on Oracle (used to be Wild Oats). That was not a"bad" part of town. That whole section of
My heart goes out to Giffords, her family, and the other victims of thissenseless crime. Most especially to the young child who was reportedly shot,and the federal judge who was reportedly killed. Several Giffords staff memberswere also harmed or killed (we don't have solid details yet). I can tell youthat, from my personal experience, the Giffords staff members are verydedicated, hard-working honest people and noneof them deserve this kind of treatment. I may not agree with all the politicaldecisions of Giffords (she voted for Obamacare, for example), but neither do Icondone any use of violence to settle such disagreements.
But remember, this was not an act of political activism. This was an act of madness carried out by amentally deranged individual. I do not believe Giffords' political positionshad anything to do with it at all. After all, Loughner shot at all the otherpeople in the crowd, too, and he had no way to know their political viewseither.
Tucson cops, concealed carry firearms andmore
There isa report that one individual in the crowd was carrying a concealed firearm andmanaged to bring it to bear in an effort to stop Loughner from committingfurther violence. This may have been a lifesaving action. Many people in Arizona Tucson
I will write more about the dynamics of this, and the
We will also take part in any fundraising efforts that get organized to helpthe victims of this shooting. But the most important thing we can do right nowis try to get to the bottom of what's behind this shooting and then takeaction to prevent such aterrible act of violence from occurring again.
