Knee-jerk Liberal thought means never having to say you’re sorry.
(article ) “He was very into the knowledge aspect of school. He was really into his philosophy classes and he was really into logic and English. “
Too bad he was severely deficient in both logic and English.
I’ve read some of his rants, and they follow the same distinct pattern.
His ‘if-then’ constructions were perfect examples of a limited understanding of logic. They were truncated versions of ACTUAL logic and reasoning methods. It is obvious this young man had some ‘education’ but that the alcohol poisoning (which he almost DIED from) damaged his brain, leaving him with ‘short-circuited’ thought processes.
The IF-THEN scenario he uses is not a ‘logical’ argument. It is simply a two sentence rationalization of a conclusion. That he uses the same invalid reasoning tactic over and over, is a big red flag.
If he drank enough to kill himself , then he drank enough to damage his brain.
WHAT I FIND ODD..................... No one has made a mention yet of his parents. Where were they? Does he even have both, or any parents?
Just crickets. Interesting.
I’ve only seen one article (after I made that post) about the parents, and it said the Parents refused to let the FBI enter their home. Apparently the FBI didn’t obtain a warrant first, so I would stand behind the parent’s rights. What is in his ‘room’ is probably more damning than the evil altar in the tent he made in the back yard.
Here some info re the shooter’s family.
[Excerpted from WSJ]
“Father of Shooting Suspect May Issue Statement”
......... “Mr. Smith, who is 70 and has lived in a house across the street since 1972, said he didn’t know the couple’s last name until after Saturday’s rampage. And Mr. Loughner didn’t know his, he said. Still, he said he was probably one of Randy Loughner’s closest acquaintances in the neighborhood.
He said he believes Randy hasn’t worked since Jared was born. Amy had a steady job and Randy raised Jared, he said.
....It was Mr. Smith who told the Loughners what had happened Saturday. They returned from shopping, grocery bags in their peeling white Chevy truck, to find sheriffs’ cars parked in front of the house and deputies stringing up crime-scene tape.
Mr. Smith, who had seen the news on TV, walked up and told them their son was suspected in a mass shooting.
“She almost passed out right there,” Mr. Smith said. “He sat in the road with the tape up and cried.”
