leave them alone. the shooter and he alone is responsible unless proven otherwise. of course they’re devastated. wouldn’t you be?

Stop posting this type of information.
Their son did the shooting, not his parents.

WTF?! Unless his parents were deliberately teaching and encouraging their son to be a killer (a la the Beltway Sniper) it doesn’t really matter what they were like. That’s not to say a shitty home life with abusive parents NEVER has anything to do with people becoming murderers, because we all know it sometimes does, but all kids are born with a mind of their own with which they will eventually start using to think for themselves. Look at Jeffrey Dahmer, for example. He had a normal childhood and wasn’t abused but he turned out to be quite evil. People who are really fucked up aren’t always made that way by their parents. I understand the Loughners are going to be scrutinized in this (really tiresome) media frenzy over their son, but just because they weren’t Ward & June Cleaver doesn’t make them bad parents who raised Satan incarnate.

Just stop.

It’s kind of depressing to see all the hate against introverts lately. Some people have social phobias or just get drained when they have to deal with people. It doesn’t mean we’re all dangerous sociopaths.

Arrest and re-educate all loners immediately.

Ok the complete over abundance of useless information aside, he is the alleged shooter. He is not the man responsible, he is, rather, the man accused. Innocent until proven guilty, and you better hope he is otherwise you guys would be partially responsible for ruining his life.

if buzzfeed were not to post somthing that was “buzzing” then would that not defeat the purpose? buzzfeed doesnt decide whats popular, the news does.

It won’t be long before BuzzFeed is posting pictures of the shit Jared Loughner took right before the shooting.

no one.
gives.
a.
fuck. and if you do, you shouldn’t.
So the guy was a shitty person. Shit happens, these posts and the intense media coverage are just glorifying something that should not be glorified.

loners because they don’t go to block parties and talk to their neighbors? My whole neighborhood is full of loners I guess.
