AZ SHOOTER: Left-Winger JARED LOUGHNER – He Likes Watching US Flags Burn & Favorite Book is Communist Manifesto

He is definitely NOT a tea partier….
Killler identified: Jared Loughner. He is 22. Born September 1988.

Here’s a photo of Jared at a book fair.

He was reportedly left-wing, quite liberal.

** His favorite books: Communist Manifesto, Mein Kampf

10 Patients- 1 has died. Several – Five are in critical condition.
The Congresswoman is in critical condition. She was shot in the head one time.
Channel 9 WSYR reported:

Congressional officials say an aide to Rep. Gabrielle Giffords has died after an attack in Tucson, Arizona.

A hospital official there says the congresswoman herself is alive but in critical condition after being shot in the head.

The AP reports that the gunman is identified as Jared Laughner; he is in custody.

From Jared’s YouTube account.
His name is spelled Loughner:

I attended school: Thornydale elementary,Tortolita Middle School, Mountain View Highschool, Northwest Aztec Middle College, and Pima Community College.
Interests:
My favorite interest was reading, and I studied grammar. Conscience dreams were a great study in college!
Movies:
(*My idiom: I could coin the moment!*)
Music:
Pass me the strings!
Books:
I had favorite books: Animal Farm, Brave New World, The Wizard Of OZ, Aesop Fables, The Odyssey, Alice Adventures Into Wonderland, Fahrenheit 451, Peter Pan, To Kill A Mockingbird, We The Living, Phantom Toll Booth, One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, Pulp,Through The Looking Glass, The Communist Manifesto, Siddhartha, The Old Man And The Sea, Gulliver’s Travels, Mein Kampf, The Republic, and Meno.

In this favorite video at his YouTube account the US flag is torched.
He’s definitely not a tea partier.

MORE: Hennessey’s View says Loughner left a video.

The rambling video talks about terrorism…

Nuts.

Here’s another screen grab from his video:

The dude is definitely nuts.

UPDATE: These tweets are from someone who knows Loughner and describes him as “leftwing and quite liberal”:

22 year old Afghan war veteran? Was he mustered out? When? FaceBook has taken down his page.

Wait for the spin to start on this. And of course, Obama is going to take to the podium (never let a crisis go to waste).

Spelled Jared Loughner on his youtube channel, with his YouTube nic being “classitup10″

Appears to be a kook by evidence of this text-only video in which he introduces himself… http://www.youtube.com/user/Classitup10#p/a/u/1/nHoaZaLbqB4

He loves to express himself with unsound syllogisms, is the first thing I gained from that video.

Animal Farm and communist manifesto listed as his favorite books. Looks like we have another winner in a long line of communist provocateur enemies within making political hits for their revolutionary leaders . Clearly this killer is another Lee Harvey Oswald who also studied communism in Russia. I suspect Jarod will be dead very soon so no questions can be asked regarding who put him up to this.

I don’t think Tea Party people like to read the Communist Manifesto.
