FBI Seeks Suspect's Web Game Records

Posted by timothy on from the we'd-like-to-see-those-please dept.

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."

    I don't think he is a teabagger or a conservative. He is a nutjob who was almost certainly going to snap someday. The question is, was his choice of target influenced by teabaggers, conservatives, and right wing pundits' inflammatory, violent anti-government rhetoric?
