I didn't see news most of today, then took a peek...
"Records obtained from the Pima County, Ariz., criminal database show Justin Loughner was arrested in 2007 for possessing drug paraphernalia, a misdemeanor charge. The records suggest that Loughner paid a $20 fee and completed a court-ordered program for drug offenders. Three months later he was cited for running a stop sign."
OK...there's a lot of screaming and finger pointing going on right now. "How did he get a gun?"
"Who let him slip through the cracks?"
"He's absoluteley deranged."
But am I the only one that sees that as far as everyone knew - this guy was no more dangerous than Arlo Guthrie in Alice's Restaurant -- arrested for littering and causing a nuisance : "Kid, whad'ja get?" I said, "I didn't get nothing, I had to pay $50 and pick up the garbage."
btw...Guthrie, like Loughner, wasn't accepted into the Army. As the Sgt said, "Kid, we don't like your kind, and we're gonna send you fingerprints off to Washington."
