Perhaps one of the greatest early insights into the mind of Jarod Loughner is the tweets provided by a former classmate, Caitie Parker. They give no signs that Loughner was a Tea Party member, but that he was a strange loner, a liberal, and a pothead. Here are Parker's tweets that were written as the shootings unfolded.
