Genuine American Monster Level: 70 CS Original | Also just heard on PBS NewsHour that Loughner's parents have barricaded the doors and won't let the FBI in. A family of nuts? Also PBS is pointing out extremist groups online where folks like Loughner are welcome, Outlaw Journalism anyone? | |||||

 Level: 5 CS Original | http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/01/10/national/main7229463.shtml</p> "He believed the U.S. government was behind the Sept. 11 attacks, and worried that governments were maneuvering to create a unified monetary system ("a New World Order currency" one friend said) so that social elites and bureaucrats could control the rest of the world." "An ardent atheist, he began to characterize people as 'sheep' whose free will was being sapped by the government and the monotony of modern life." Yep, this kid sounds like your standard issue conspiracy theorist, and you just know that this bullshit was his motivation. Now I'm really pissed off about this, and I think I understand now what Muertos was talking about when he said CTs are "toxic." | |||||
