Thanks! I didn’t read it on DU. It’s on another site, and you’re right...he was referred to as “Jim.”

To: Travis McGee Just came across this on Hot Air: A few weeks ago, a man by the username of ‘JamesHolmes154′ posted a thread on 9gag saying he was going to ‘shoot up’ a theater. He was clearly distressed and admitted he was suffering from PTSD. He said he was going to walk in and try to take as much lifes as possible. The whole 9gag community egged him on and give him tips on what to wear, etc. They give him tips on sharp-shooting and sent him messages on how to take as much lifes as possible. 9gag is a sick site and needs to be destroyed. 19 posted on Fri Jul 20 2012 09:23:21 GMT-0500 (Central Daylight Time) by SE Mom (Proud mom of an Iraq war combat vet) To: Travis McGee http://hotair.com/headlines/archives/2012/07/20/14-dead-in-colorado-theater-shooting/ A little over half-way down the page. 30 posted on Fri Jul 20 2012 09:37:47 GMT-0500 (Central Daylight Time) by SE Mom (Proud mom of an Iraq war combat vet) [ Post Reply | Private Reply | To 23 | View Replies | Report Abuse] http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2908609/posts

Excellent point.

All need to take a breath. A horrendous crime has been committed and thank the good work of the police that they caught the guy quickly, amongst the panic, confusion and bloodshed. Remarkable in itself. Let’s let them complete their investigation.

"On KHOW radio here in Denver they just reported that the suspect’s mother is being interviewed by ABC news and is saying that “you have the right guy”, and she is flying to Denver as soon as possible. Sounds like she wasn’t surprised that this happened, for whatever that’s worth at the moment."

I agree. It's an interesting thing for a mom to say. It sounds like she knew he was nuts.

I wonder if she meant “you have the right person?” The other way sounds bizarre, even if her son was really crazy with violent tendencies i would expect a mother instinctively to be in denial.

Could be, but that image looks like it is from the movie ‘Inglorious Basterds’ (2009).

Citing officials, NBC News’ Pete Williams reported that the shooter had three weapons — an assault-type rifle and two handguns. Holmes’ car has Tennessee plates but authorities believe he was living locally

Hannity will be on later making the shooter the victim so he can get the first interview.

I am over at DU now defending the 2nd amendment.

See if you can find me LOL. The only reason I am a registered member there is for November when Romney wins.

I want to help them commit suicide or leave the country.

Good find. I wonder if his mother was aware of that post or had heard him making statements to that effect. That would explain her remarks but also bring up questions as to whether she did anything to try to stop him (Baker Act him?) or alert authorities that he might be dangerous. Tough situation for a mother to be in though.

Someone bullied this kid or he lost his job...maybe he was turned down for food stamps because he wasn’t a Mexican?

Yours is one of the most sensible posts I've seen today.

It absolutely drives me crazy (or perhaps, crazier) to see FReepers making assumptions when something like this happens, in order to fit their pet theories, particularly about Islamic terrorism.

Then, when facts start to emerge that contradict their assumptions, they begin to twist themselves into pretzels in order to be able to cling to their initial theories. "He must be a convert." "This must be a media/government conspiracy to suppress the truth."

Please.

Oh yes, get it signed in the next few days and then rush it through the Senate while the funerals are still going on. The GOP will fold before they are pushed.
