Pima County sheriff should remember duty

The Arizona Republic - Opinions

...Dupnik needs to recall that he is elected to be a lawman. With each additional comment, the Democratic sheriff of Pima County is revealing his agenda as partisan, and, as such, every bit as recklessly antagonistic as the talk-show hosts and politicians he chooses to decry.

As I said before, Loughner is just nuts. If you want to look as his politics, you are going to find a jumbled mass of confusion there as well. He cites the books, Communist Manifesto and Mein Kampf as 2 of his favorites as well as having read some of the works of Orwell. He's a registered Independent and did not vote in the past election. He had an occultist shrine in his back yard and was big into the darkest forms of heavy metal rock. An associate describes him as a left-wing pothead. Others say he wasn't into politics at all, rather philosophy and psychology. He believes that the monetary system should be based on the gold standard.

What can be drawn from all that politically? Almost nothing! He is a mental mess that cannot truly be linked to either the right or the left. If you had to try, which is pointless, he'd lean more left, but again there is no point in attaching him to the left either. He is simply a mentally disturbed young man who is motivated by evil and did not care who he hurt.
