U.S. Congresswoman Shot In The Head As
Gunman Opens Fire On Crowd
January 8. 2011
A 22-year-old schizophrenic college student, Jared Loughner,
opened fire at Safeway Supermarket in Tucson, Arizona that was hosting a
meet and greet, with U.S. Congresswoman, Gabrielle Giffords. The
40-year-old politician, who is married to NASA astronaut, Mark Kelly, was
shot in the head and survived. However, there were six fatalities, among
them, a 9-year-old girl. A federal judge, John Roll, was killed in the
attack, making Loughner eligible for the death penalty.
Based on the videos Loughner posted to YouTube, one can
safely deduce, he is an atheist, who is a paranoid schizophrenic. The
videos make no sense, are full of existentialism and items regarding
Loughner trying out to be in the U.S. military and resenting them giving
him a mini "Bible."

Loughner choice of music, such as the satanic sounding rock
track "Let The Bodies Hit The Floor" by Drowning Pool, testifies
to his deteriorated mental state. He also speaks of "mind
control" and "brainwashing" which is common among cults. He
additionally complained about the economy and the U.S. dollar
("currency").
U.S. President Barack Obama condemned the incident in a
White House press conference. The state of the U.S. economy is damaging the
mental health of many Americans. According to a study published in November
2010, "1 in 5 Americans are suffering from mental illness" and
over 6 million Americans contemplated suicide, as they are jobless.

The Judiciary Report has repeatedly emphasized the
importance of not wasting opportunities to create jobs. The site
emphatically warned before the stimulus money was distributed that the
government should have tight reins on the funds, to ensure it was not
stolen or squandered and that's exactly what happened due to lax controls (Obama Calls
For Job Summit).
President Barack Obama
There have been a number of publicized incidents of
violence and despondency, regarding Americans who have lost their jobs and
homes. People are suffering and the government has not taken the proper
precautions to ensure a speed financial recovery. It's been a spate of
meaningless press releases, touting empty numbers that do not fool analysts
that know better. It's time to stop the charade and make the economy right.

Nearly 1 in 5 Americans had mental illness in 2009
CHICAGO, Nov 18 (Reuters Life!) - More than 45 million Americans, or 20
percent of U.S. adults, had some form of mental illness last year, and 11
million had a serious illness, U.S. government researchers reported on
Thursday.
Young adults aged 18 to 25 had the highest level of mental illness at 30
percent, while those aged 50 and older had the lowest, with 13.7 percent,
said the report by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration or SAMHSA.
The rate, slightly higher than last year's 19.5 percent figure,
reflected increasing depression, especially among the unemployed, SAMHSA,
part of the National Institutes of Health, said.
"Too many Americans are not getting the help they need and
opportunities to prevent and intervene early are being missed," Pamela
Hyde, SAMHSA's administrator, said in a statement... A copy of the report
