Mental illness was either overlooked or ignored, Which is it?

Jared Laughner from Tuscon, Arizona, the man named as the shooter.

Loughner, charged with critically wounding Rep. Gabrielle Giffords on Saturday in a shooting spree that killed six and wounded 13 others, is described by acquaintances in terms that have become familiar for suspects in violent rampages: a loner, short-tempered, bitter, weird pot smoker, a 22 year old mentally ill child.
 
He was upset? upset at what exactly?
His ramblings are meaningless, His teachers were afraid of him and yet nothing was done.
Where are and who are his parents?
When did his signs of mental illness begin to show?
What makes a person act like this and do as he did?
The left is trying to twist this as they always do, But this child had some real and true issue's
Did his family try to help him? all of these questions need to be answered.
A merely troubled child doesn't preform this kind of violent act period.
Drugs? was this simply drug related? He couldn't pass a drug test to join the US military, how long has he been doing drugs?
The media is trying to make this a political issue , Which it surely isn't. why would they do such a thing?
a quote from a Progressive will answer that, "Never allow a good Crisis to go to waste"
My heart goes out to all that were wounded or killed, This guy took out innocent people, They went there that day to speak with and to get photographed with a State Representative and have a remembered day.
Well those who survived this vicious attack got that alright, Not what they were expecting. This boy killed or wounded, sons and daughters and mothers , fathers, and grandparents, all or any could be of our own family.
I completely condemn his actions and behavior, This is NO WAY to be an American, we debate and talk out our differences in this country. There simply is no room for violence here.
I have always encouraged We the People to speak out, by Talking to in person or in writing or by calling our Government Representatives. This behavior by a Nut is completely outrageous.
I would adore to see this nut job get the electric chair, plain and simple.
He killed an innocent nine year old child...This family will never recover from such a devastating loss.
My prayers are with this distraught family, For God's Sake why did he do this to an innocent family!
I will pray for the recovery in the state of Arizona, God Bless all that will see this though.
I hope our Lord will Bless all that helped that day with the wounded and dying in the parking lot that sad day.
Thank You to all the Hero's that day!!
We must get off the political correctness train here, and start watching whats actually happening in our country.
God Bless America
