Jared Loughner, the alleged Giffords shooter, favorites a YouTube video

Thanks to tsuki in the comments to this post, we are alerted to this video on YouTube.

The title: "America: Your Last Memory In A Terrorist Country!"



Seven minutes. The profile for the poster is listed as follows:

My name is Jared Lee Loughner!
Hometown: Tucson
Country: United States
Schools: I attended school: Thornydale elementary,Tortolita Middle School, Mountain View Highschool, Northwest Aztec Middle College, and Pima Community College.
We think Loughner is the shooter because of this (Yahoo News):
Police say the shooter was in custody, and was identified by people familiar with the investigation as Jared Loughner, 22. Pima County Sheriff's officials said he used a pistol to carry out the shooting spree. U.S. officials who provided his name to the AP spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release it publicly.

His exact motivation was not immediately clear. Federal law enforcement officials were poring over captured versions of a MySpace page that belonged to Jared Loughner and over Youtube video published to the Internet weeks ago under an account "Classitup10" and linked to him. The MySpace page, which was removed within minutes of the gunman being identified by U.S. officials, included a mysterious "Goodbye friends" message published hours before the shooting and exhorted his friends to "Please don't be mad at me."
More as it develops.

UPDATE: There's clearly a ton to say about this video, and I'll have more in a later post. It's creepy, raw, achingly slow and weirdly inspired. But for starters, just listen to the lyrics of the music. Every line matters.
