Will follow forum guidelines to the best of my ability in the future.

Just to mention, I had absolutely no political agenda in posting this article, my interest being purely medical. I have a specific scientific interest in researching correlation between anger, aggression, and even violence with frontal cerebral lobe injuries. I realize it is not a pleasant topic, and tends to spark opinionated discussions. But I believe that the more we know about it, the better our chance at preventing such situations.

I usually post a link to original copyrighted articles, not sure why I ommitted it here. Must have been a brain thing!

EDIT: I would also add that I had hoped this posting would spark a discussion on the mechanics of control loss in survivors of frontal lobe injuries, namely the compromise of Executive Function resident in the frontal cortex areas, and subsequent loss of control over deeper and more primitive emotional drives, including aggression and violence. The author of this article did an especially good job at describing this mechanism and relating it to the current event, without delving too far into complicated medical jargon. Thus I felt highly compelled to pass on this article, especially at a time when awareness about the effects of brain injury is so critical. I hope anyone who might respond to this post appreciate the restriction on moral or political commentary. Per the mods, medical only, folks, thanks.
