Here's a picture of a Jared Loughner. I'm assuming it's the same guy since this picture was taken in Tucson.

I think the bigger question is whether or not the film took place within in a dream itself. Consider this, in order to be asleep so long Cobb and his wife were probably under a sedative and in a Level 3 dream. Later in the movie it is explained that if you die in Level 3 under a sedative you enter Limbo where you can lose track of what is reality and what is a dream, and while in Level 3 both Copp and his wife are killed by a train, so shouldn't they both be in Limbo?

I don't know. I don't think it's the bigger question right now. I think the bigger question is if she'll live and who/why the gunman did what he did.
The movie was good, but I don't think it trumps this current event.

Sometimes you don't need amotive. He may be some psychotic right winger or anti-goverment psychopath. Or he could be a person who was metnally unsable and just snapped.
Chaos_HL21
Anyone who goes and shoots someone like that is OBVIOUSLY mentally unstable.
Thing is, even the unstable have their motives and quite franly, anyone who is firing at politicians knows EXACTLY what they are doing.
It isn't like she randomly got shot in the street. She was attending a meeting and that guy showed up with a guy.
He definitely had a motive.
Ok maybe saying they don't need a motive isn't right. I should of said a logical motive. Like Richard Lawrence, thought that he was King Richard III of England andthought that Andrew Jackson was keeping him from becoming King of England. He also thought that Jackson killed is father, but his father never been to the US, so he tried to kill President Jackson, only to have his two weapons misfire and got his butt caned by Jackson.
Or John Hinckley Jr. who tried to Kill President Reagan to impress Jodie Foster.
Yes the motive definitely doesn't have to be logical.
I work at a nursing home and have had to deal with dementia patients so I know just how out of it people can be.
With the way the political climate has been though I wouldn't write off the idea of this being politically motivated, whether it be simply anti-democratic or anti-government in general.

you just made my day. thank you.
OT: Horrible event, hope she pulls through and if this has anything to do with that Palin map or is politically motivated in any way then thats probably even worse than just some crazy dude losing his ****.
murder is murder. its not special just because its a politician. these folks arent royality they are no different from you and I but in all honesty while this might be wrong this like the attack on the tax building in 2010 i think it was sum up a lot of the frustration many people feel. heck i feel that way politicians never seem to do whats good for anyone but themselves and the tax book is ridiculous. but this is only going to get worse as they continue to ignore the people and spit on them. i also hope this does not lead to another war cry against guns.Did they get the guy who did it?
He needs to be dealt with...
It's one thing to protest against politics you don't like, and another to kill a politican.

That is a seriously surreal channel. I wouldn't be at all surprised if it's the same guy, that guy was the shooter, that channel was made by a man with a disturbed mind.its not at all surprising though. the elected officials have been spitting and kicking the faces of americans for years now. im not sure why anybody thinks america is different from other countries but america like all other countries if you oppress the people long enough they will violently fight back. this is in all likely hood just the beginning.How sad that the ignorance in this country has reached a level that we now shoot to kill our elected officials. Shameful day to be an American.

If you honestly believe that proposing policy changes and enacting laws counter to your own belief system is "oppressing" the people of the United States, you are clueless. The founding fathers created a system so that if a majority of people do not agree with their elected representatives, they simply have the sole power to vote them out of office and replace them, not shoot them. I'm sorry, but this is surprising. Because we should be better than this.How sad that the ignorance in this country has reached a level that we now shoot to kill our elected officials.

Even if there was, the actions of one obviously deranged individual doesn't say anything about the validity of political movements, or their ideas.
Considering people have tried to kill the President to impress Jodie Foster, jumping to conclusions about political movements is absurd, at least at this time.
All of the political flaming going on around the interwebz right now kind of reminds me of something. It seems kind of strange to me, though, that someone would attack a politician of one party out of purely political motivations just days after the other party has taken control. You'd think that if something like this would happen out of pure political frustration, it would have happened a year ago.
Not that someone who would do this could be rational in any way.
This isn't about gun control, it's about the fear mongering and violent rhetoric espoused by Republicans and psychopaths like Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin.
"Don't retreat. Instead — reload! The crossfire is intense, so penetrate through enemy territory by bombing through the press, and use your strong weapons -- your Big Guns -- to drive to the hole. Shoot with accuracy; aim high and remember... it takes blood, sweat and tears to win," -- Sarah Palin
This needs to come to an end.

What I find amazing is that so many people didn't seem to have a problem with the escalated BS john wayne talk coming from the right and the tea party, regardless of this incident, because you all know full well this could turn out to just be a psycho with his own motivations that have nothing to do with right versus left. Silent bob's post is exactly what I am talking about. How on earth did we get to live in a country where a political party thinks it's okay to campaign on guns and threats of violence, and complete lies about this country having been founded as a Christian nation? It's like we have regressed to the Reagan - Chritian televangelist era, only now we have politicians who routinely throw out the most paranoid and most harmful rhetoric imagineable, along with this proud and stupid mentality - anti science, anti education, anti cosmopolitan. It's like some people are so frightened by change and historical truth that they want to stampede back to the dark ages. And why is it okay to use gun and shooting metaphors so clearly when talking about political opposition? And the rancor, the nastiness is just frightening, like the signs that read "Bury the Health Care Bill with Kennedy." Who the hell are these people? And with this kind of moronic vitriol out there, will it really be all that surprising when something does happen that is motivated by all this blind hate?

I watched all of his youtube videos, and couldn't get one coherent thought out of them, politically or otherwise. Watching that video, the first thing that comes to your mind is political motivation?

No, it is illogical to assume that a shooting was politically motivated, when there is no evidence to suggest that. There's nothing wrong with investigating political motivations, but saying it's obviously politically motivated, because a politician was shot, is indeed illogical. It assumes that there is no other reason for a politician to be shot, and that there is no other motivation besides a political one.
Reagan was shot because a crazy guy saw Taxi Driver too many times for god's sake.
according to his youtube videos, he doesnt believe in god and wants god out of government... so you fail in drawing a correlationWhat I find amazing is that so many people didn't seem to have a problem with the escalated BS john wayne talk coming from the right and the tea party, regardless of this incident, because you all know full well this could turn out to just be a psycho with his own motivations that have nothing to do with right versus left. Silent bob's post is exactly what I am talking about. How on earth did we get to live in a country where a political party thinks it's okay to campaign on guns and threats of violence, and complete lies about this country having been founded as a Christian nation? It's like we have regressed to the Reagan - Chritian televangelist era, only now we have politicians who routinely throw out the most paranoid and most harmful rhetoric imagineable, along with this proud and stupid mentality - anti science, anti education, anti cosmopolitan. It's like some people are so frightened by change and historical truth that they want to stampede back to the dark ages. And why is it okay to use gun and shooting metaphors so clearly when talking about political opposition? And the rancor, the nastiness is just frightening, like the signs that read "Bury the Health Care Bill with Kennedy." Who the hell are these people? And with this kind of moronic vitriol out there, will it really be all that surprising when something does happen that is motivated by all this blind hate?
