The internet is blaming Jared Lee Loughner for being mentally ill and insane during the shoot out in Tucson, Arizona. Well to be honest, I think it’s a crock of shit. Never jump to conclusions, people. Was he mentally ill or was he completely sane? My thoughts, I think he was completely sane and he knew what he was doing, 100%. He may have had a past with mental illness, but that doesn’t mean he was mentally ill during the shoot out. I mean if he was insane, he wouldn’t know how to use a gun and he would have been caught immediately, when he was on his way to the Safeway supermarket. If he was insane, he would have been thrown in a mental institution instead of prison.
I’m pretty sure he carefully planned this attack. He was plotting it out for a long time. The thing is, the trial must prove if he was mentally ill, which is going to be difficult to do. They would have to go through psychologists and all that stuff.
Don’t always blame, shootings on mental illness people. Also, in order for him to get life in prison or the death penalty, they need to get all the evidence and proof that he shot all those people. They’ll have a lot to go through to prove what he did. So yeah, you can bet your ass, this is going to be a long trial. There is a way he could get life in prison and not the death penalty. He can even serve 10 – 20 years in prison depending on all the evidence. He could even be acquitted and walk this case a free man, too, if they can’t find enough evidence he did this.
When Denzel Washington says in the movie “Training Day”, “It’s not what you know, it’s what you can prove”. That catchphrase from the movie, is very true in real life as well. I’m not defending this Jared guy, I’m just being real. Jared’s plan for this attack was to assassinate Gabrielle Giffords, which his plan failed, look like she’s going to survive after all.
What he did was terrible yes, I hope he rots in prison one day for what he did, but don’t always say that’s going to happen. Jared had extra help in this crime as the reports say there is another person of interest they are looking for. There is also talks in the media of changing the gun laws after this happened. If they change the gun laws to make guns more strict to purchase, then that would be unconstitutional to the 2nd amendment rights. Us Americans should have the right to buy our own guns for protection of our own lives.
