Ex-friend's view of Loughner when he met Giffords

Twitter feed from someone who apparently was a friend of Loughner’s through 2007 (but hasn’t seen him for the last three years).

Tweets include: “As I knew him he was left wing, quite liberal. & oddly obsessed with the 2012 prophecy.”
“he was a pot head & into rock like Hendrix,The Doors, Anti-Flag. I haven’t seen him in person since ’07 in a sign language class”
“He was a political radical & met Giffords once before in ’07, asked her a question & he told me she was ‘stupid & unintelligent’”
“I haven’t seen him since ’07. Then, he was left wing.”
“more left. I haven’t seen him since ’07 though. He became very reclusive.”
“liberal in wanting to change the way the world was run, we both wanted to. He took it to an extreme I never would’ve.”
“also probably more libertarian & definitely socially liberal.”
“we listened to political punk in high school & agreed with their leftist opinions for the most part Anti-Flag was our band.”
“well for the Bush/Kerry election we all wore ’1 term president’ buttons. That election was HUGE to us.”
“not as I knew him no. Very accepting of everyone. But that was 3 years ago”
“3 years ago when I saw him last he was more leftist. Now I don’t know.”
