re: #222 Obdicut

That’s pretty facile statement. First of all, you have no idea if Loughner’s ideology was consistent to himself, whether or not he actually operated with a large framework or just stumbled from belief to belief.

Second of all, calling this guy dysfunctional is just— yeah, well, duh. Of course he’s dysfunctional. So is a guy who beats his wife. That’s not really the point.

This guy is like Timothy McVeigh or like an Islamic terrorist. He is not like Loughner.

From the outside, the differences between Loughner and this guy are apparent.

Loughner believed his actions were quite reasonable. in the same way this guy did.

The only possible distinction is Loughner was on meds- though there is no telling if the Oslo killer were under care, meds might have been prescribed for him.
