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.

Yes, Brian Ross at ABC News is being savaged on Twitter. Apparently he did not bother to confirm a thing before falsely reporting this guy was a Tea Party member. Apparently there is a Jim Holmes in CO who is a Tea Party member but it is not the shooter.

It clearly looks like a deranged individual. He had his hair painted red, he said he was ‘The Joker,’...Kelly said at a news conference after noon.

Sounds like about one of every 10 people you see on the street in the East Village.

Just the other day I saw a couple in their 80's walking down Madison Avenue on a Sunday eve. Very conservatively dressed. The lady had stark purple hair and looked at me like I had the problem.

Yep, ABC did right out of the box. Check Breitbart.com or the FR sidebar, it’s there. I hope the guy sues ABC big time.

Why indeed?

By now, you’ve read what Mayor Blooming-idiot has said?

Typical leftist verbal diarrhea.

The word Joker starts with the letter J, which rhymes with Ray, which begins with the letter R.

"Or you can call me Ray, or you can call me Jay, but you don't have to call me Johnson ..."

abc “kneejerked” and pinned it on Limbaugh and the Taxed Enough Already Party before the gun smoke had even dissipated. They have “corrected” that story now though.

Well Arkham is waiting. Say hi to Harley.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

My speculation is that student loan debt, occupy insanity, and some odd Batman connection will unfold. Total speculation.

[jpl]

My prediction is that Ross isn’t going to have his job for too much longer.

[MNDude]

Red hair? Isn’t it green?

[Tzimisce]

Gasing people is more a tactic of the Scarecrow in my opinion.....

[NativeSon]

but it looks like Trenton

[JLAGRAYFOX]

No....friend, not East Village people, more like “Occupy Wall Street” anarchist, just like a son that Barack Hussein Obama would love and cherish. Wake up America, all of you, your freedom and liberty are passing away, right under your own noses!!!

Joker? Does that mean he’s gay like the last guy who played him? Is that some part of the statement he’s trying to make to society?

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Freakin incrredible. Actually it isn’t, it’s completely expected from slime like him. They just can’t help themselves can they.

[Huskrrrr]

You’re dating yourself (and me). :0)

[Oztrich Boy]

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

Actually it was Brian Ross, and an innocent Hispanic Tea Partier
