Of course people are much more complex but most living things can recognize when their lives might be threatened (or at least think that). The problem Loughner might have experienced something long ago when he was in need of help and instead found some kind of aggression to him. The brain which also acts as a large sponge also just grows them seeds so its prepared for that next time it gets those confusing signals. Sometimes in people who are diagnosed with schizophrenia they have that recognition of aggression and it gets processed in strange or unthoughtful ways. Without the help or care for people with such problems they sometimes grow worse and or violent like in this case.
To me it seems kind of ignorant to be putting all the owness of the problem on Loughner, especially in that it solves not too much. As a civilization and a society WE failed in what happened here. Sure he knew on some level what he did was wrong as he was doing it. The problem was his measurement of what was more wrong was confused by faulty information he received during the process all through his life.
If you don't think i am correct with this opinion about getting bad information, then please explain to me why all those people were a gasp and thought Romney was going to win the election
