postarticle with background on shooter

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

Quite a bit different than what the media was painting for the first couple of days after the shooting.

Yeah, it doesn't mention Palin, Limbaugh, the Tea Party, conservatives, health care or any of the other stated reasons for the shooting. Apparently somebody decided they'd scored enough political points and it was time to tell the shooter's story.

When Siddall asked Loughner about what had happened in class, he said his comments were only about math, according to a memo she wrote. For example, he said, "My instructor said he called a number 6 and I said I call it 18." The counselor concluded that the student had a "unique ideology that is not always homogeneous."

Is it bad that I laughed at that?

It does sound as if his neurochemistry is going downhill towards acute schizophrenia.

He developed an illogical fascination with logic.

From Orthodoxy, by G.K. Chesterton:
Quote
Imagination does not breed insanity. Exactly what does breed insanity is reason. Poets do not go mad; but chess-players do. Mathematicians go mad, and cashiers; but creative artists very seldom. I am not, as will be seen, in any sense attacking logic: I only say that this danger does lie in logic, not in imagination.

Not at all; it's quite a thing to say.
