Yes, that's the spirit, Headstrong! This is why I posted the article in the first place. To bring awareness to the connection between head injury (especially frontal) and violence. Not just for the brain injury survivors, but with hope of preventing the next catastrophe.
The message I wanted to get out is I summarized above: control over primitive emotions is physically located in the frontal lobes of the brain. When this area is damaged, as can easily happen, certain signature symptoms may appear: loss of self control, increased anger and hostility, impulsive and erratic behavior, and even violence or criminal activity.
Our chance lies with pre-screening for injury survivors with a high-risk profile. We need to know before-hand who is most likely to lose control. TBI is the signature wound of the mid-east wars, and a lot of our young men and women are coming back now. I don't think this problem will go away by itself. In fact, I think it is just beginning.
