A YouTube video that prompted the suspension of Tucson shooting suspect Jared Lee Loughner in September was released Friday by officials at Pima Community College and included rambling statements such as "We are examining the torture of students" and "This is genocide in America."

The video, no longer on the website, was released to The Times following a public records request and offers the extended example of Loughner's voice.

A campus police officer who saw the video "positively recognized the voice and the reflection in the window as student Jared Loughner," according to a school police report. That same officer had removed Loughner from his biology class Sept. 23 after a disruptive outburst.

The video, titled "Pima Community College School - Genocide/Scam - Free Education - Broken United States Constitution," was created shortly after the biology class incident in which Loughner was escorted to an administrator's office, campus police said. It was taped on the college campus, according to school police.

In the video, Loughner states, "The war that we are in right now is currently illegal under the Constitution"; "This is my genocide school. Where I'm going to be homeless because of this school"; "I haven't forgotten the teacher that gave me a B for freedom of speech"; "This is Pima Community College, one of the biggest scams in America"; "If the student is unable to locate the external universe, the student is unable to locate the internal universe"; and "Thank you.... This is Jared … from Pima College."

1. Yeah, he was schizo or something.

You can be bi-polar too and do that, I KNOW very well. First hand, from my own unfortunate experience. Although I never ended shooting people. The majority of people like me do not do such things, thankfully.

2. It's interesting to hear his voice and his talking...I think he sounds less crazy then people are

making him out to be.

Again, I think this dude was crazy like a fox. He wanted to make a splash and or deal with his "anger" towards Giffords, and set a trail of "crazy" video's to make it seem like he was insane and the voices made him do it. I think in reality this guy was just a stone cold killer.

4. I can't tell if he sounds crazy or just really naive, self-centered and stupid.

Illegal! I lost my freedom of speech! It's illegal to sell this book under the constitution! The school of genocide! I got a B!

By the way, that is probably the NICEST looking community college campus I've ever seen.

5. He sounds like some "anarchists" I know

I'm still not sure about his level of "sanity" yet.
