All due respect, FR has become a place where threads are started for the exchange of thoughts...only to be shut down by posters who simply say "don't give it any thought...just accept what I say".

I am not a "jeanious". Sometimes my low, sloping forehead blocks my vision of the keyboard and causes me to post typos, only to be followed by a dozen gramma nazis letting me know my IQ is that of a doorknob.

But back to this sick bastard...certainly part of me says he may just be an insane ass, while a larger part of that tells me this was far more than one man. I have some experience in the subject...certainly not an expert, so I would like to openly hear what others have to say...does not mean I will swallow the pill they deliver...yet nor would I dream of telling them their thoughts are inane and different from mine; therefore wrong.

Instead, I appreciate their thoughts and bravery for discussing them in an open forum. Although we have anonymity behind a screen & keyboard, we cannot hide from our own ego. The know-it-alls quash egos for their own entertainment at will. I grimace every time I read it here.

From first reading about the shooting this morning, my “this ain’t right meter” pegged to the furthest ain’t right. Notice the entire media is consumed with this story, anti-gun nuts are out in full force, right as the UN small arms treaty BS. Bllomberg, MR. Anti Gun asking Obama and Romney what they are going to do.
This stinks worse than a well used outhouse in hot weather.

Witnesses say that a man in the front (presumably the killer) got up with a cell phone and went out the exit. A short time later a guy (same one?) dressed up in gear came in and tossed a cannister (tear gas?) and then started shooting. Witnesses also have said that there were two cannisters, one in the front and one in the back.

And then there’s this:

Police: Colo. shooter James Holmes set up elaborate bomb in apartment as distraction

“There appear to be incendiary devices,” Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates said. “There are chemical elements. There are all kinds of wires.”

Investigators now believe that Holmes used a timer to set off loud techno music at the apartment just before midnight. It was meant to spur a noise complaint to police. The ruse theoretically would have drawn them into the apartment building, detonating a firebomb and then drawing all available police and rescue units to the other side of town before the shooting at the theater started. That would have allowed him more time to kill more people and left a much smaller police response to the theater shootings.

“This is someone who is engaged in predatory, thought provoking, very well planned out behavior,” former FBI profiler Mary Ellen O’Toole told CBS News.
