Arizona Shooter Jared Loughner is Jewish

Tierney believes that Loughner was very interested in pushing people's buttons—and that may have been why he listed Hitler's Mein Kampf as one of his favorite books on his YouTube page. (Loughner's mom is Jewish, according to Tierney.)

In October 2008, Tierney was living in Phoenix, and Loughner came to visit. They went to see a Mars Volta concert with friends, and Tierney was surprised when Loughner said he had quit partying "completely." Loughner, according to Tierney, said, "I'm going to lead a more healthy lifestyle, not smoke cigarettes or pot anymore, and I'm going to start working out."

In the videos Loughner accuses the federal government of brain-washing and attacks the Constitution and the lack of a gold standard in regards to U.S. currency.

In another [YouTube Video], Loughner complains that when he tried to join the military, he was handed a "mini-Bible." That upset him.

He marked "Jewish" under his religion on his MySpace page, but the page has subsequently been removed.

We spoke to an eyewitness, Steven Rayle, who was on the scene at the time of the shooting and helped to hold the suspect down while waiting for police. Here’s what he said:

“After shooting Giffords, the gunman opened fire indiscriminately for a few seconds, firing 20-30 rounds and hitting a number of people, including a kid no older than 10 years old. Rayle hid behind a concrete pole and pretended to be dead. When the gunman apparently ran out of ammunition he attempted to flee, but a member of Giffords’ staff tackled him. Rayle helped hold the gunman down while waiting for the sheriff to arrive, about 15-to-20 minutes later. The EMS came about 30 minutes later. Rayle said he was “stunned” by how long it took medical help to arrive.

Here's where the incident gets weird, it took EMS personnel almost 30 minutes to reach the scene?

Being part of the Emergency Medical System back at the fire department where I worked, whenever someone would call 911 for a ME--Medical Emergency--the Joint Communications Center (JCC) would dispatch the nearest ambulance and fire truck, along with police if necessary.

For this or any type of ME involving life-threatening conditions, from the time of the first call to when the first units arrive on the scene it shouldn't take more than 6 minutes for the fire crew or ambulance to arrive and start providing emergency medical care, such as making sure the airway is open and they have a pulse, stopping the blood flow from any wounds and providing oxygen, etc.
That 6 minute time frame is an absolute MUST, if you're going to prevent brain damage--or worse-- by providing oxygen and CPR. If your city's 911 emergency dispatch system can't or won't get emergency personnel there in that time frame or less, then either it needs to be revamped or you need to add more 'satellite' ambulance stations and more fire crews, all of whom are at least EMT's and some paramedics, with a fire truck bin full of 'jump kits' containing oxygen; bandages; a defibrillator; a suction unit to remove mucus and vomit from the victims airways; splints, etc.

The only time(s) I personally saw the response to more than 6 minutes was during blizzards and I don't think Tucson was having one of those.

If the blog is true, then either the Pima County JCC head needs to be fired or is is beginning to look more and more like a false flag.

Jared Lee Loughner Did Not Act Alone

A comment from this YouTube video page:

You cannot shoot 20 people, 6 killshots in 20 seconds with a Glock 9. I have unloaded the clip on that gun 100 times, if you pull the trigger in rapid succession with a 30 round clip in the grip, the gun is going to be balanced to the back, thus it will have a stronger upward kick. The crime scene is missing 30 marked out shell casings and puddles of blood.

One more thought: In this day and age of cell phone cameras and those mini-hand held digital cameras, didn't any of Rep. Giffords fans take any footage of their favorite Congresswoman?

The Safeway store where the shootings took place is located in Casas Adobes (Adobe Houses), located north of Tucson in Pima County, Arizona, United States.

This area's EMS and Fire calls are handled by a private corporation called "Rural/Metro Fire Department," a subsidiary of "Rural/Metro Corporation" a nationwide outfit, which in the past, has been accused of putting profits over people.

If Rural/Metro units took 30 minutes to get to the Safeway shooting scene, maybe this info from Rural/Metro's home page tells why:

First-Quarter Highlights

SCOTTSDALE, AZ-11/08/10 -- Rural/Metro Corporation (NASDAQ: RURL), a leading provider of ambulance and private fire protection services, announced strong results today for its fiscal 2011 first quarter, reporting solid growth in net revenue, EBITDA, net income and diluted earnings per share.

Michael P. DiMino, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Our first quarter was outstanding, with growth driven by strong transport volume, new contracts and continued operating efficiencies. These results are indicative of the success we have had in executing on our growth initiatives. Additionally, we have continued to demonstrate superior revenue cycle management, effectively leverage operating efficiencies and deliver the highest quality services to our patients and customers."

Nothing about response times or lives saved?

Maybe RM's motto should be"

Would you prefer to have a Fire Department/EMS Ambulance service provided by your city or one, like Rural/Metro, that is listed on the NASDAQ Stock Exchange?
