From the moment Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik (Right) first opened his mouth this past Saturday evening 
many have tried to make sense of his aggressive efforts to blame the acts of Jared Loughner on Talk Radio et al. Well it appears Sheriff Dupnik’s remarks may have been intended more to avoid being confronted with the allegations that the Pima County Sheriff’s Department failed to act on repeated reports of threats made by Jared Loughner.
Personally I believe Sheriff Loughner saw an opportunity to skirt his own failure to act while at the same time cuddling up to the Obama administration with his completely ignorant attempts at blaming Talk Radio and the Tea Party.
Below is just a portion of what is alleged at The Cholla Jumps
Jared Loughner previously made death threats against people in Pima County, including staff at Pima Community College, radio personalities and local bloggers. When the Pima County Sheriff’s Office was informed, Sheriff Dupnik’s deputies wrongly assured the victims that he was being well managed by the mental health system. It was also suggested that the further pressing of charges would be unnecessary and probably cause more problems than it would solve. Was Jared Loughner’s mother, Amy Loughner, employed as a Natural Resource specialist for the Pima County Parks and Recreation a factor?
Every victim of his threats must also be wondering if this tragedy could have been prevented if Sheriff Dupnik had been more aggressive in pursuing charges against Mr. Loughner. Perhaps with a felony conviction he would never have been able to lawfully buy weapon he used to strike down the lives of six people and decimate 14 more.
This was not an act of politics. This was an act of a mentally disturbed young man hell bent on destruction. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department was aware of his violent nature and they failed to act appropriately.
Sheriff Dupnik FAILED to investigate fully and assure that Loughner did not have access to lethal weapons and see to it that he received the mental health care he obviously NEEDED. This is unacceptable and the Sheriff should answer for it. This tragedy leads right back to Sheriff Dupnik’s gross negligence and all the spin in the world is not going to change that fact.
Outspoken Sheriff Accused of Dismissing Loughner Threats
As the RedState and other sites have so appropriately asked, Is This True…?
On another point, I find it interesting that the Pima County Sheriffs Department and the FBI waited until late yesterday afternoon before they released the mug shot photo of Loughner. I find it interesting because of the stark differences between the official mugshot and other photos posted. The Department of Homeland Security circulated false claims that Loughner was associated with a White Supremacy group (also referred to as “Skin Heads”) before having to pull back on its claims and then the Pima County Sheriff’s Department and FBI release a photo of Loughner with a freshly shaved head! The question then becomes, did Law Enforcement authorities shave Loughner’s head after taking him into custody or was Loughner’s head already shaved when he was taken into custody? It would not be the first time that Law Enforcement and the FBI have engaged in this type of activity.
