And then it's on to the Northeast
The disturbed classmates saved their emails
Jared Loughner’s classmates were afraid of him
Class isn’t dull as we have a seriously disturbed student in the class, and they are trying to figure out how to get rid of him before he does something bad, but on the other hand, until he does something bad, you can’t do anything about him. Needless to say, I sit by
the door

A nuisance snowfall or a paralyzing snowstorm? By Tuesday and Wednesday we’ll know since forecasting beforehand hasn’t been helpful lately..

The events of the day, summed up in the best way I can do it
Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, the target of today’s shooting in Arizona, is alive.. Reports in the confusing aftermath of the violence at the Safeway store where the Representative was having her public event said she was dead. Reports later gave official word that while she was shot in her head, she was alive.. Doctors have publicly stated they are hopeful her condition will continue to improve.
The situation was much worse for six others who are dead tonight, including a federal judge and a 9-year-old girl who was born on September 11, 2001..
Police are urging Congress members to take safety precautions in the aftermath of the violence..
The gunman was ID’d today as Jared Loughner.. he is 22, was in the military, and has a history of web-presence. His online vidoes and Myspace ramblings are sure to be looked at closely by authorities as they investigate the madness in Tuscon today. Not only were his words rambling, but he appeared to be obsessed with mind control..
As for the 22-year-old killer, he said he acted alone and authorities, not believing him, are looking further into leads and other possible suspects tonight .. The intentions of why he killed are still developing. Reports in the aftermath said that the shooter, Loughner, shouted ‘damn Democrats’ as bullets fired.. other reports that another person in the crowd shot back at Loughner .. Arizona is an open carry state.
And politics, without question, is now playing a role in the shooting and the aftermath. NPR reporting tonight that some are wondering if political banter played a role in the violence. It seems to the age-old question.. how much talk is too much talk and how many people are adversely affected by rage over political beliefs.
The federal judge killed today was appointed by President Bush. The Congresswoman targeted was a Democrat..
Let the debate begin. But let the crime also be punished.
And prayers are abundant tonight for the survival of Congresswoman Giffords. Prayers as well for those injured, and those killed..
The nation shocked.

This just made chills run up my spine..
Christina Greene, the 9-year-old killed today in Arizona, was born on one of the most important days in our nation’s history:
Born on September 11, 2001, Greene was excited about the political process
The persons dead tonight are gone from earth, and their families now are left to grapple with the aftermath of madness.. But I cannot stop thinking about the significance, in some strange way, of a product of 9/11 being killed during an act of domestic rage..

Of all the events today from Arizona, this is the most tragic in my mind..
9-year-old victim of deadly rampage identified | KVOA.com | Tucson, Arizona
The identity of the 9-year-old tragically killed in this morning’s deadly rampage is Christina Taylor Greene. Family says she was vibrant, excited about life, and she was the “best daughter in the world.”
