A man by the name of Jared Lee Loughner had an arraignment in court this afternoon. Loughner, age 22, is charged with the attempted assassination of Arizona State Representative Gabrielle Giffords and the attempted murder of two of her aides. He is accused of opening fire on a Giffords political event in a local supermarket that wounded 13 people and killed six others, including a federal judge and a 9-year-old girl who was born on Sept. 11, 2001. He will face state charges dealing with the other victoms. Loughner may use an insanity defense, and prosecutors could push for the death penalty.
I just wrote a little update on this story above. There is so much more to this article and you can read it if you click on the high-lighted link above. I know probably everybody has either heard about this story or seen it on the news, but I wanted to post my opinion on it because I find this to be a very disturbing thing. First of all I want everybody to click on the link above and take a good look at the picture there. It is a picture of Jared Loughner, up close and personal. That face gives me the chills everytime I see it. There is something very wrong with that guy. I could never ever just walk into a supermarket and shoot a political figure straight in the face, let alone a little 9 year old girl and other various age ranged victoms. I know that most likely he will claim insanity, but I pray to God that they still give him the death penalty. When I stare into his eyes in the picture in the article I just know that he knew exactly what he was gonna get up and do that day and he does not feel one bit of remorse about it. I just don't understand how somebody can be that way about that sort of thing. We may never know why he is this way and yes he probably is literally insane but I still think he deserves the death penalty. I feel very sorry for his parents, because I really believe that they were unaware of his motives but in the same since, I think that they should have had him in some sort of therapy. He needs a lot more than that now though! My heart goes out to the victoms and their families. I pray every day for Gabrielle Giffords and I hope she comes out of this 100% better.
I totally agree with you. There is something seriously wrong with anyone who can just open fire on innocent people and not think twice about it. Anyone who does something like this must be insane.
