Jasper went berserk because he hadn't hunted in a while, as one could see because his eyes were black. It is also because Bella's blood is supposed to be incredibly appealing, even to vampires other to Edward. He may have been able to control it when it wasn't actually out, but when Bellas blood was spilled, the smell was intesified by a tenthfold.

Alsoo, BTW, it said SIX dets of eyes. Carlisle was perfectly fine. Carlisle can't be bothered by human blood, otherwise he wouldn't be able to work in a hospital.

By the way, he can't just control his vampire instincts. That's the entire freaking reason Edward was monitoring his thoughts in chapter one of Midnight Sun.

Because he used to hunt humans, probably for the better part of one hundred years, it would be harder for him. They can only ask so much of his self control, and extremely appealing blood spilled right in front of him while he hadn't hunted in a while, well, that was a but over the line.

He may be able to feel the stress caused by the thirst, but the thirst is technically a physical thing. If the stress had preocupied him just a second before the scent of Bella's blood got to him, that may also have been a reason for his loss of self control.

I rest my case.
