Aug 9 (Reuters) - The Tucson gunman who killed six people and severely
wounded Gabrielle Giffords has labeled himself a failure because the
former Arizona Congresswoman survived his rampage, according to a
prison psychologist's report released on Thursday.

The report's release comes two days after Jared Loughner, 23, in a
deal that will spare him the death penalty, pleaded guilty to six
murders and other charges stemming from his January 2011 shooting
spree at a Tucson supermarket.

Psychologist Christina Pietz, who evaluated Loughner at a federal
prison hospital in Missouri, said in the report that Loughner had
repeatedly made comments suggesting he thought Giffords died when he
shot her in the head.

At one time, he suggested he understood that Giffords was alive,
according to Pietz, who wrote that she pressed him on that point, and
he admitted to feeling disappointed in her survival because it meant
he "failed."

"I'm not an assassin," Pietz's report quoted Loughner, a community
college dropout, as saying.

Later on in the interview, he told Pietz: "Jared Loughner failed
again. He's a failure. So all of this would be for nothing."



Let's make tools designed to kill people widely available, that way we
can be certain that they'll eventually fall into the hands of the
criminally insane. Ammo too!


What's your solution, jps?

Should this country ban all guns?

You're probably stupid enough to believe that the Arizona mass shooting
by Loughner could have been duplicated with a knife.

Yeah, you need a bomb to do that kind of damage.


You have to be an ex-military rightie to do that, eh? You know, like Tim
McVeigh...


It's great that guys like McVeigh and this cretin in Wisconsin can
continue to perfect their education in killing while living at home.

Nothing like perfecting one's craft.


Are you now advocating a ban on the internet?

Laws and bans only affect law abiding citizens.

Simple. Since all the domestic terrorists who engage in mass gun murders
seem to be righties, round all the gun-owning righties up,
put them and their firearms into a huge fenced area in Arizona or Texas,
drop in huge amounts of ammo, whiskey, crank, bibles and condoms (but no
food or water) and come back in a month to see which one is still alive.
Shoot him. If any of those righties held decent jobs, give those jobs to
the jobless and to hard-working Mexicans.

Yeah, because there is no difference between kids blowing up mailboxes
and ex-military wackos blowing up federal office buildings.


The only difference is the target and the size of the bomb.


Oh, really? I used to blow up stuff on the sandbars at low tide with
cherry bombs. The difference is, it would never occur to me to blow up
an office building.

Self destruction would suit you to a T. Try that if you have a penchant
for blowing things up.

That is why I think it is more important to have crazy person control
than weapon control.

A crazy person will always find a weapon.



Do you know how difficult it is to "control" those you are calling
"crazy people"? How would you do it? It is not a trivial task, nor
should it be, to even commit someone for a three day psych evaluation.
Absent such an evaluation, what is your plan?
