FBI Seeks Suspect's Web Game Records

wiredmikey writes "The Federal Bureau of Investigation on Wednesday asked the administrator of an Internet game to hand over records of communications by Jared Loughner, following a Wall Street Journal article describing disturbing messages the accused shooter wrote over a three-month period last year. In an interview, David McVittie, the administrator of the Web game Earth Empires, said he was contacted by the FBI, which requested the files, including 131 messages that Mr. Loughner wrote."

    He might be a tea party member AKA nutjob. In that case he might believe that Laughner was just seeking second amendment resolution to an election.

    the name of the video his friends said really set him off

    Zeitgeist: The Movie

    He's being tagged as a conservative because it was a Democrat that was shot. Would the tables be turned if it was a Republican? Would we assume the shooter was a liberal? Doubtful.

    FWIW, I don't think any self respecting conservative would be caught dead watching that movie. Well, maybe if they needed a good laugh. Maybe.

    Conservatives are shocked at this too.

    They're shocked because their cunning plan to whip apothetic, gun toting Americans into a frenzy and to vote Republican at the next election has blown up in their face like a Saturday night special.
