In 2011, a man named Jared Lee Loughner opened fire on a crowd in a supermarket parking lot in Tucson, Arizona, killing six and wounding 13 more people. His target was Representative Gabrielle Giffords, whom he severely wounded. It was one of those that make people wish they'd had some hint it was coming, but Loughner hadn't hidden his decline into madness. He filmed it—and posted it on YouTube.
Before the massacre, Loughner kept an active YouTube channel in which he would ramble madly about the US government using . He filmed his school, calling it his "genocide school" and saying, "We're looking at students who have been tortured."
But it wasn't just rants; there were heavy hints about what was to come. He wrote his bio for the channel in the past tense because he expected to soon be dead. And he promised to create "a new currency," which, he warned, he would bring to America, whether he had to use "lethal or non-lethal means."
