"When you heard what happened on Saturday and it registered that it was Jared Loughner, what was your initial reaction?" KGUN9 asked. "Oh my god, that's all I could really say. It was just hard for me to find somebody that had, well, it made me feel weird; like, what kind of person am I if I fell for somebody with those capabilities and those potentials," Figueroa questioned herself.

"After I heard the whole incident, I started thinking back about when we were dating, the weird conversations we had. That he would lose me because he'd go off on rants about how the government this government that I was kind of just like ok."

Figueroa believes Loughner planned the shooting, "He's a smart kid, I think he did his homework. And, I think he's playing everything. I think he's trying to get sent to a psych ward because he doesn't want to go to jail because he didn't die like he wanted to."

"I think he actually expected to get shot that day because if you looked at his Facebook and his Youtube everything was written in past tense. That's not common unless going commit suicide. Or, something bad is going to happen to you," Figueroa added.

"There's a lot of people out there right now who are saying Jared Loughner is mentally ill, I know you're not a doctor, but your gut feeling, is he mentally ill or an accumulation of everything you talked about?" "I don't think he's mentally ill at all. I think he's honestly, I think he's faking everything. I think he's planned it, planned for sometime."

Even if he planned this - it takes someone mentally ill to plan something like this and carry it out, imho.

Suicide is often a cry for help...

Nothing on the OP and the Ex Girlfriends comments?
Many mass killers have the desire to be killed by the police during their attacks.

I don't think his girlfriend is a qualified mental health expert.

But wait....there were many folks on the right that were citing one interview from one single past friend to make judgments about this guy that they were perfectly willing to accept.
Now this girl was his girlfriend..don't you think she knows him better than most and is better qualified to give a opinion based on that knowledge like most every other person does not?

One opinon was acceptable but this one is not...why Bla?

Sorry for deciding he was a nut job when he gunned down a crowd of innocent people.

Sometimes people are just mean and filled with hate. Example: A drug dealer who guns down four teenagers on prom night for being in the wrong place at the wrong time isn't mentally ill, he's mean and filled with hate. This guy hid a black bag with more ammo inside. Why would he do that if he wasn't expecting to walk out of there and reload to kill more people?

No one i claiming anything different...no need to be sorry bla. You do have to admit that this girl just might have had a veiw into this persons feeling like most other people did not see and what she is saying just might have some merit?
