When he heard the news Tierney knew at once who the shooter was. Loughner recorded the progress of his thoughts in a &#8220;dream journal&#8221;, the touchstone for someone who believed that most people were asleep; and that only people like himself were fully awake. He told his friend, &#8220;life means nothing.&#8221; Shortly before he went on his rampage, Loughner left a message for Tierney. &#8220;Hey man, it&#8217;s Jared. Me and you had good times. Peace out. Later.&#8221;]]>Mon, 10 Jan 2011 18:53:27 -0500<![CDATA[Richard Fernandez]]>https://pjmedia.com/richard-fernandez/2011/01/10/requiem-for-a-dream-n190244
