Loughner's Disturbing Video Released
Talking Points Memo reports:
"Alright, so here's what we're doing," says the man behind the camera as he navigates through a dark parking lot. "We're examining the torture of students. We're looking at students who have been tortured. Their low income pay in two wars. The war that we are in right now is currently illegal under the Constitution. What makes it illegal is the currency. The date is also wrong. It's impossible for it to be that date, it's mind control."
That's how a video Jared Lee Loughner posted on YouTube in September titled "Pima Community College School - Genocide/Scam - Free Education - Broken United States Constitution," begins. It's the video that ultimately got Loughner, the gunman allegedly behind the attempted assassination of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) and the murder of six others, suspended from the school.
About a minute in the video, Loughner encounters a figure walking in the distance who is likely one of the alleged gunman's former teachers. "How's it going?" Loughner asked in a cheery tone. "Thanks for the 'B' I'm pissed off," he says in the same pitch. He then walks away, laughing to himself.
The video was obtained by the Los Angeles Times through a public records request and posted to their website late Friday.
