"One of the most disturbing things I've ever seen"

No, not me. It's a quote. I've seen more disturbing things at the local mall. He does look like a psycho in the photo, though, but then, so do a lot of harmless people when they have their pictures taken, while many sociopaths look quite "normal", and not dangerous at all. I do think we are dealing with a seriously mentally disturbed person, but not "insane". I think you're only truly insane in these kind of circumstances if you're so delusional that you think you are killing demons or alien invaders or something.

In the photograph, released by the Pima County Sheriff's Forensic Unit, light shines off Loughner's bald head. He has freckles and what looks like the tracings of a black eye. What makes the image striking is not the face itself, but the look the young man conveys. He grabs the viewer with his eyes, looking straight ahead and not backing down or showing any sign of shame or remorse. Viewing the image — and knowing what the subject is accused of doing — leaves many viewers wondering if the man is mentally ill.

On the social networking site Twitter, the mugshot has been discussed at length with people calling it "creepy" and "eery" and others pleading with the media to stop showing the photograph.

One person wrote: "Have yall seen this Jared loughner mugshot??? My god... Keith olbermann, please stop showing that joint. I am all types of creeped out."

Another wrote, "Jared lee loughner's mugshot will forever haunt me in my dreams."
