‘If the Student is Unable to Locate the External Universe …’

If there were any lingering doubts about the sanity of Jared Loughner, the kid who tried to kill Rep. Gabby Giffords and who succeeded in killing six others, this video will dispel them.

“If the student is unable to locate the external universe, and the student is unable to locate the internal universe, where is all my subjects? I could say something sound right now, but I don’t feel like it.”

I’m not a doctor, so obviously I can’t diagnose. But if a medical report comes out during the course of Loughner’s forthcoming trial suggesting he was experiencing untreated schizophrenia, it would hardly come as a surprise.

This video, apparently, was the reason that Loughner was expelled from Pima Community College in Tucscon, and told he could not return until he got mental health treatment. How is it that a determination like that can be made without mental health professionals being immediately summoned?
