The Resume

    Born in United States
    Attempted to assassinate Democratic Arizona congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords (January 8, 2011)
    Indicted by a Federal Grand Jury for one count of attempted assassination of a member of Congress, two counts of killing a federal employee (including federal judge John Roll), and two counts of attempting to kill a federal employee.

Why he might be annoying:

    Friends close to him say that he began his downward mental spiral after his girlfriend broke up with him.
    He was fired from his job at Quizno's.
    Prior to the massacre, he was cited for drug possession and vandalizing a street sign.
    His barbaric writings and online posts led to him being expelled from Pima Community College.
    He derided Rep. Giffords as a 'fake.'
    He also believed in many conspiracy theories including that the government was behind 9/11.
    He brutally killed six innocent lives, including a nine year old girl who was born on September 11, 2001.
    Like Cho Seung-Hui, he was just another frustrated young man taking his personal pain out on society.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He participated in his high school's jazz band.
    Neighbors and close friends described him as a 'quiet and caring young man.'
    He temporarily worked at an animal shelter.
    His shooting brought to light the need to tone down the passionate and angry rhetoric of political debate.
