Re: Judge: Loughner can be made mentally fit for trial
You asked LOA how he would feel if he were the parent of the schizophrenic. I simply took the flip side of the question and asked how you would feel if you were the parent of one of the victims. I didn't realize that would confuse you on my stance since I had already stated Loughner should be kept in a prison or mental institute.
Yes, I realize many schizophrenics are walking around free. That's because they have not committed a horrible act like Loughner did. Several people did miss the signs, but in the end, Loughner still has to accept responsibility for his actions.
I did say he should be held until it can be determined if his condition can be controlled by meds. Once that point is reached, then he should go to trial to face the charges against him, since he will be competent to understand the charges and the severity of his actions. Personally, I feel that he should be found guilty and be locked up for life because he has proven how dangerous he can be when left in society. That's why I would not make a good juror in this case.
