A philosophy of anarchy

  The New York Times has a revealing article about Loughner today, who is probably exhilarated that the media is consumed with discovering the real him. 
  It becomes obvious that a number of people knew something was very wrong with Jared Loughner. 
  Neighbors are claiming the family was strange and reclusive, although the meaning of reclusive  differs from neighborhood to neighborhood. (Just because you don't go to block parties or run next door for sugar frequently doesn't mean you're reclusive. Maybe you're blogging.)
  A Loughner friend claims “He was a nihilist and loves causing chaos, and that is probably why he did the shooting, along with the fact he was sick in the head," and "had talked about a philosophy of fostering chaos."
  Yeah, that sounds like a tea partier. 
  But I digress.
  The NY Times also reveals that the police were called to the Loughner household "on more than one occasion."
  Hm. Couple that with Arizona's mental health laws, which allow anyone to turn a name over for evaluation. From Outside the Beltway:

Under Arizona law, any one of Jared Lee Loughner’s classmates or teachers at Pima Community College so concerned about his increasingly bizarre behavior could have contacted local officials and asked that he be evaluated for mental illness and potentially committed for psychiatric treatment.

  So no matter the amount of money allotted to mental health in Arizona, apparently no one felt compelled to even ask for help.
  Except, perhaps, for the local police department who had visited Loughner's house on more than one occasion, for unknown purposes.
  The opportunists, as seems to be true in any crisis but particularly this one, are coming out of the woodwork, with mental health professionals now claiming they need more money. 
  "The mental health care system is broken," declares Sherrod Brown.
   Somehow this nightmare will be tied into the health care debate; everyone will be encouraged to feel guilty for opposing the health care law when, in truth, obamacare will decrease funding for just about everyone.
  But let's get back to the issue of the local police visiting Loughner's house. If they were called there for a reason other than Loughner's behavior, were they told of problems with him? (UPDATE from Yahoo: "The visits were for nonviolent incidents, including a report by Jared Loughner of identity theft, a noise complaint and Amy Loughner's claim that someone had stolen her license plate sticker, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal.")
  If not, why not? 
  And if it is in the self interest of the sheriff's department to deflect responsibility away from their own culpability, will that office be held accountable for besmirching the names of conservatives and talk radio? 
  In fact, was that the original intent of Dupnik's defamatory and highly political remarks?
  Has Dupnik been given directives from anyone else, any other political machine to deflect attention away from his own lack of intervention with an obviously ill man?
  It becomes increasingly likely that Loughner suffers from some kind of schizophrenia, a horrible disease that could be treated with medication. Certainly the family has suffered from living with him. 
  But let's be careful before we start screaming to find guilt anywhere other than the sick individual who did this. 
  The police cannot know or control everything.
  But they can control what comes out of their mouths in falsely accusing others of "crimes" without proof or guilt.
  So indeed, Dupnik is guilty himself of what he accuses others.
  Shameful.
  And wrong.
  Oh, and btw, when was the last time you read or saw MSM interest in anarchists?
  Apparently Sarah Palin is more of a threat to our society than the anarchists, who rampage from city to city in groups merely for the purpose of causing chaos and who spread their philosophy through bands, websites and social networks.
  It's a problem that won't be going away any time soon.
