Earth Empires Administrator Unveils Loughner Posts
On Friday afternoon Dave McVittie unveiled to the public 131 online posts that Jared Loughner wrote on a forum within the game Earth Empires, an online game Mr. McVittie administers.

The posts cover April through June 2010 and are from a game Mr. Loughner played on and off since he was a young teen. In these posts Mr. Loughner revealed violent thoughts about rape and hitting handicapped people, as well as more prosaic notes such as the amount of weight he could bench press. He also outlined the troubles he ran into with teachers at his community college (whom he called "pigs"), complained about being unemployed and poor, and on a spreadsheet appeared to compare the option of suicide against going to prison or getting a job.

3. He had several jobs, but couldn't keep them
He was asked not to come back as a dog walking volunteer until he could do as asked.

5. I'm sure being unemployed and "beyond poor", as he put it, didn't help
Edited on Sat Jan-15-11 12:29 AM by Catherina
but this kid was already losing himself and exacerbating his mental fragility with all the drugs he started doing; he became totally dysphoric. That salvia can be some nasty stuff and according to his friends, he was doing it frequently and experimenting around with it. What a sad, vicious circle, that just kept getting smaller.
