re: #227 researchok

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

Yeah. That’s where we are.

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

Then it seems to me useless to assert that, because there’s a very, very small minority of people who don’t believe that their actions are reasonable.

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.

I’m sorry, but this is ridiculous to me. That’s the only distinction between Loughner, whose views are so nuts as to be incomprehensible to others, and this guy, whose views are nearly identical to thousands of right-wing anti-Muslim bloggers?

Isn’t that a rather big distinction?
