Campus behavior of Arizona shooter more disturbing than first thought

The Huffington Post writes about how Arizona shooter Jared Loughner's actions and statements prior to the shooting showed a darker side than initial reports indicated:

In January of last year, it was reported that Loughner suggested that dynamite should be attached to babies after a classmate read aloud a poem referencing abortion. Loughner explained his statement and thought process to Pima Advanced Program Manager Aubrey Conover: "He said that the class had been talking about abortion, which made him think of death, which made him think of suicide bombers, which made him think of babies as suicide bombers," Conover wrote.
