One of the school’s deans reported to police a teacher’s concern about Loughner responding to a classmate’s poem about abortion.
“… Loughner had made comments in the class about abortion, wars, killing people, and ‘why don’t we just strap bombs to babies,’” the police report says. “[The dean] said that Loughner has a ‘dark personality’ and is kind of ‘creepy’ and they had resolved to just keep an eye on him.”

“He said that the class had been talking about abortion, which made him think of death, which made him think of suicide bombers, which made him think of babies as suicicde (sic) bombers,” that letter states. “We talked about how you need to give context to you (sic) statements, especially when deal (sic) with emotional issues. Jared said he would not say anothing (sic) in class.”
