US Congresswoman shot.

Yeah, because if you kill a child, you deserve to die more than if you kill an adult.

I'm pretty sure Arizona has the death penalty. Also, he killed a federal judge, so he could get the death penalty on the federal level.

Please let Jared Loughner escape and somehow kill them too.

Banning guns doesn't fix anything. There's no correlation between guns and violence. If people have violent tendencies, it doesn't matter if they've got a gun or a knife or just their two fists. Again, this guy had an illegal gun. If you banned guns in the US, he'd still have an illegal gun. The problem is we have a culture of violence. You know why other countries have lower crime rates? It's because their culture is less violent.

A filing in federal court is expected today listing specific charges against the shooter Jared Loughner and elaborating on his stated motives

This is the first I've heard of this.

All I've heard is the Tea Party (specifically Sarah Palin) being blamed for creating hate.

No known national political organization should be blamed for this attack. None of them condone violence.

Apparently the shooter had become quite fixated on the aspects of mind control. Any possibility that he may be a 'manchurian candidate?'

As a budding professional journalist, many of the news stories that have presented themselves in the past year have troubled me greatly. I fear that our country is headed down a path of unending fear and prejudice towards those that we interpret to be enemies of our way of living. Most of my college classes are filled with intelligent students who willingly admit that they are fearful for their well being when seated in close proximity to a person of Arabic descent during any form of public transportation. Many of them support the decision to install full body scanners in national airports, giving up constitutional rights in exchange for a sense of safety. What troubles me the most about all of this, is that American citizens have clearly been conditioned to reconsider the manner in which they live their lives, based upon perceived 'threats' sensationalized by the media. Hailing from perhaps the most liberal area in the country (just east of NYC), it upsets me to see otherwise clearheaded individuals allow themselves to be swayed by fear. Politics have become accustomed to the divisive means that government feels is necessary to reach its goals, and so have politicians. It is my fear that divisiveness will eventually excalate into more elaborate acts of violence between groups that are seen as 'opposing' one another, ie christians and muslims, democrats and republicans, wikileaks supporters/detractors etc etc.

Although this particular news story has little to do with that, it is my belief that if America had not become so divisive in recent years, that domestic terrorism such as this wouldn't be taking place. By instead allowing our fear to dictate our reactions to perceived threats, we have created a state of perpetual fear that will help politicians get elected, but ultimately will not better serve the lives of those that they govern.

Also- for those interested in learning more about the governments role in mind control, I found this wikipedia page to be extremely informative: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_MKULTRA

Jared Loughner is charged with one count of attempted assassination of member of Congress, two counts of killing an employee of the federal government and two counts of attempting to killing a federal employee.

Why isn't he charged with the deaths of the others?

Those are the Federal Government's charges. They don't have the jurisdiction to file charges for the deaths of the civilians, just the federal employees. The state of AZ has to file the civilian charges.
