NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) – New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said the gunman suspected of attacking a crowded movie theater in Aurora, Colorado resembled Batman’s arch-villain “The Joker” at the time of the shocking attack.

“We have some information, most of it is public. It clearly looks like a deranged individual. He had his hair painted red, he said he was ‘The Joker,’ obviously the ‘enemy’ of Batman,” Kelly said at a news conference after noon.

Well the police commissioner of Gotham should know, for sure.

I thought this was a spoof when I read the headline.

You know that a man is a certifiable psychopath when even his own mother knows right away that he’s guilty of something like this. She didn’t even waste time trying to deny it.

You have the right to mental evilness. Anyone you kill will not be held against you in a court of law.

Maybe the attack was just meant to be a really scathing review.

Yep nuttier than most Leftists actually. I’m perplexed that no one mentions that he acted out at this venue specifically and what that should inform us. Obviously this is a dark and violent fantasy film franchise and disordered minds are prone to getting swept up in it. This should be the focus, IMO, not inanimate objects-guns. There are other ways to commit mass murder, and someone like this would find a way. A disarmed and helpless society will always be at their mercy. It’s not hard.

I been at work all day barely following this. Tell me; Has the MSM blamed this on A Republican yet or the Tea party or Bush or Romney? Need I even guess? It’s predictable as sunrise and sunset so I know they have

looks like the local press looked him in search of soundbyte. Of course, he's the sort who happily obliges such requests.

Yes, of course.

George Stephie-noplois at ABC blamed an innocent Tea Partier.

But they have since apologized. So that makes it all right.

NOT!

The Joker? The word Joker starts with the letter J, which rhymes with Ray, which begins with the letter R. “R” for Romney or Republican. Coincidence?
