i thought truthdig was supposed to be a more reliable news source?
loughner himself did not enter a not guilty plea.
“Loughner stood quietly as U.S. District Judge Larry A. Burns entered a not-guilty plea on his behalf Monday in federal court in Phoenix.”

“Loughner didn’t speak at the brief arraignment at a courthouse in Phoenix. The court entered a plea of not guilty on his behalf.”

“Asked for his plea, Loughner was silent. The court entered a not-guilty plea on his behalf.”

The way this story is introduced makes me think that the writer “KA” doesn’t understand the mens rea element in criminal law. A guilty mind requires a sound mind, and there’s plenty of evidence on youtube to suggest that Loughner was not in possession of one. Law and order undertones on Truthdig? What the hell?

What is depressing is that here is an article about a real terrorist,
home grown, who gets to go into court and plead ‘not guilty’.
gets to go back to his cell with a bed and get 3 square meals a
day and exercise.
Underneath this post is one about Bradley Manning, a true
Report thispatriot who has embarrassed some politicians, military fools and
business crooks by exposing their criminal actions and
intentions, who can only wear his under way and his visitors are
beginning to be detained.

This boy was suppose to have been normal at age 20. Something terrible happened to him between then and now, what was it?
I do hope the truth will be allowed to come out, but it is highly unlikely.
