LOS ANGELES – A US judge ruled Wednesday that Jared Loughner was unfit to stand trial over charges he tried to assassinate a US congresswoman and killed six other people in Arizona, US media reported.
Loughner had to be removed from court in Tucson after making an outburst at a hearing to decide if he was mentally competent to stand trial over the attack, which targeted lawmaker Gabrielle Giffords in January.
Judge Larry A. Burns said doctors found that Loughner has an irrational distrust of lawyers, and was therefore unable to help in his defense or understand the court proceedings, the Arizona Star reported online.
Loughner, 22, was arrested after the shooting at a public meeting Giffords held in Tucson on January 8, which triggered a wave of soul-searching over America's starkly divisive political culture.

Lets look to the Chinese for the proper way to deal with this guy. Take him out to the feild and put a bullet in his head. He is guilty so kill him. Remove his DNA from the gene pool.

You forgot to harvest the organs while still alive and charge the family for the bullet. Nah, as much as I do not like the way this is being handled, the Chinese way is way worse.

"Judge: Ariz. shooting suspect mentally incompetent"
So basically he's officially qualified to run for office on the republican ticket, right?

Person goes insane and cant tell right from wrong.
Person kills people while insane.
Person can't go on trial because of being insane.
The state gives person drugs and treatments to make person sane again.
Person now sane goes on trial for murder committed while insane.America you just have to love it ..... (for the black comedy)

Wait a minute. Jeffrey Dahmer was fit to stand trial and this little scum bag isn't. Jeffrey showered with corpses, drilled peoples skulls and and injected them with drain cleaner and windex and then dined on his friends.
Seriously, WTF?

I must admit to being slightly suspicious about his mental state. You still have to consider that if true it would mean living life in his own hellish nightmare. What ever his outcome it could never lessen the pain he caused.

I look at it this way, any attempt at a capital punishment trial in the state of Arizona involving Jared Loughner will automatically become a circus because of the direct influence the NRA would have upon it. The debate about gun rights would become the overriding story and any justice lost in the rhetoric.

Our whole legal punishment system is fucked as it is.
Anyone who commits murder is "mentally ill" most other crimes are the result of addiction and poverty.
Soooooooooooo it seems to me, our resources would be better spent on initiatives that reduce the impact of those things on our society.
Oh yeah, and fuck that guy... no need to fix him. put him in a meat grinder on the slow setting. :)

Good evening kb723. I agree that he is definently fit to stand in front of a firing squad.
If they brought back death by firing squad, that might hinder some crime.
Death by firing squad is a true punishment.
Have a nice day. ;-}
I love to say "death by firing squad".

death by firing squad is just a scary way to get executed. maybe if it was made public like kb suggested, it might deter some crime.

If he's unfit to stand trial, at least lock him up for the rest of his life. You can't fix insane.

Hi Leen I would prefer they put a bullet in his head, He did after all kill 6 people.... Why should the taxpayers pay for his housing for the rest of his life... He is the one that needs punished, not us....

ArchDruid, as far as I am concerned, all the court has to prove is that he Killed 6 people... Whether he was Hung Over, Stoned, on Medication, or if he had to use the Bathroom doesn't matter at all to me... I would bet you Sarah Palin has that judge in her back pocket...

In a Humane fashion I can agree... I don't see spending my tax dollars for his housing, as something necessary.... Make his folks and the Arizona taxpayers pay for it.... Were it up to me a 15 cent round would put it all to rest at No expense to us the taxpayers... Just my Opinion...
