Validating Aspects of 'The Cholla Jumps' Backstory Within hours of the shootings in Tucson, Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik made the bizarre decision to appear on as many national various television programs as possible. In each appearance, he made the assertion that either right wing talk radio, the Republican Party or other dark forces motivated young Loughner to commit mass murder. These statements were completely unfounded and Dupnik admitted as much when pressed. Furthermore Dupnik actually confessed that Loughner had made prior death threats against a person who was not Rep. Giffords. [ Thus the key charge, that Loughner had a history of prior death threats, is confirmed by the sheriff himself. What we don't know is why this history wasn't taken more seriously by local law enforcement and whether there were grounds for arrest on those charges. ] What the The Cholla Jumps site is alleging – and which has not yet been confirmed- is the following: Jared Loughner has been making death threats by phone to many people in Pima County including staff of Pima Community College, radio personalities and local bloggers. When Pima County Sheriff’s Office was informed, his deputies assured the victims that he was being well managed by the mental health system. It was also suggested that further pressing of charges would be unnecessary and probably cause more problems than it solved as Jared Loughner has a family member that works for Pima County. The question is, is this true? We don’t know – yet – but it’s certainly plausible. Indeed. And we can validate elements of the back-story to help determine veracity. Consider this claim from the Cholla story: "Amy Loughner is a Natural Resource specialist for the Pima County Parks and Recreation." This appears to be a true statement. Her name is listed in several places around the web as affiliated with Pima County. Amy was married to Randy Loughner in 1986. Who is Randy Lee Loughner? An unconfirmed report describes him as also affiliated with local government, working in -- of all places -- Child Protective Services." The question arises, in part because of the sheriff's odd behavior: did the fact that one or both parents worked in local government allow them to "pull strings" to protect a troubled child? Perhaps some "professional journalists" could actually "investigate" this matter if they're not too busy inventing new smears for Sarah Palin. directorblue.blogspot.com .... To: cripplecreek; SkyPilot; Williams I'm really shocked that the media is ignoring the fact that Jerry Loughner's dad, Randy Lee Loughner works in CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES. Why isn't the press reporting this??? Can you imagine that this isn't being mentioned ANYWHERE? 6 posted on Monday, January 10, 2011 5:38:03 PM by hennie pennie 209.157.64.201 ------------------------------------ Curious: Rep. Giffords' Official YouTube Channel Subscribes to Only Two People: Rep. Ike Skelton and... Jared Lee Loughner Perhaps Sheriff Dupnik could take a few moments away from his busy television schedule to investigate the following odd connection between the Giffords campaign and her accused shooter? An anonymous tipster writes: Don't know if you saw this or not. Her [Giffords'] Youtube page has only two subscriptions, one links to the shooter's page (lower left corner, name classit10) Now, her own political page links back to this youtube site, so it must be hers. I don't know if someone has hacked this page or what. Strange to say the least. Indeed. But I'm sure Sheriff Dupnik is well ahead of us and is actively attempting to figure out the tie. directorblue.blogspot.com [I confirmed - Gifford's youtube account has a link to classitup10 which goes to Jared Lee Loughner's page. youtube.com youtube.com Now there were probably only two accounts linked to hers when this happened but there are a lot more now, some of them very weird looking. ]
