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!

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...

And that guy in Colorado could have easily killed 12 people and maimed
many more with a fork!

All this jibberish about guns, they don't do nearly as much harm as
canker sores. Ask Wayne LaPierre, he speaks the truth! Except when
he's lying through his teeth.

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.

Apparently, the far-right conservative lunatics, the skinheads,
neonazis, et cetera, encourage their young followers to join the
military so they can learn all they need to know about weapons.
In other words, our military is training our homegrown terrorists.

Sweet.

Or a college professor like Kaczinski.

Any 15 year old with some google skills and a nearby Home Depot can
make a bomb. Kids are blowing up mailboxes around here with 2 liter
bottles and bleach.
If you are ambitious enough to scrape the heads off of several boxes
of kitchen matches you can make a heluva bomb. Put it in a 1/2" pipe
nipple, coated with RTV and rolled in BBs, you got ya something.
Bear in mind, most of the people killed in Iraq and Afghanistan are
not killed with the ubiquitous AK47, they are killed by home made
bombs made by illiterate kids.

Doesn't require a lot of ambition to buy a gun, some ammo in order to
affect retribution on a smaller scale, such as the white supremecist
did in Wisconsin.

Any jackass with a mastercard and a sick mind can do it.

And for whomever says a car can do just as much harm, I doubt it'd fit
real easily inside a Mosque where old men are praying.

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