So. You can go just about anywhere in this country and find any number of active military personnel and active reservists. I was in a Sheetz store just the other day and there were three guys in fatigues, military reservists and there is no military base nearby for many miles. If Holmes wanted to specifically target those in the military, he could have chosen any number of much better targets than that particular movie theater. If his goal was to kill members of the military, then tell me why he shot a 6 year old girl to death?
2. What about the importance of an FBI letter? I refer you to the letter of August 6th, 2001, and its impact on electronic traffic and security.
M’kay. I’m not sure what your point is here or how this relates to the Aurora shooting but ….OK…
3. And the license plate? It may be, as you’ve suggested, something personal or irrelevant, but I stand by my beliefs.
So you are conceding it may be relevant but may also be irrelevant but with that even being such, that won’t change your mind because your mind is already made up. Again if you are going to look to numerology and symbolism in a license plate, then I could just as well submit that Holmes was a Christian Right Wing Radical because “COR 911” correlates to a Bible verse.
The rest of your post is mind boggling. 9-11 is a date that some things that are relevant to radical Islamists that may have meaning and symbolism to them (and BTW – you previously said that the symbolism of 9-11 had to do with the emergency number – but I digress as you have now changed your mind, once again.)
You can look to any date on the calendar and find some significance in that date, the events, births or deaths if you want:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_11
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/July_20
Again, for those of you from Rio Linda, there is nothing so far that indicates that Holmes was an Islamic terrorist or part of some vast left or right wing conspiracy. Everything we know so far indicates he was a deeply disturbed very sick individual acting alone; someone under delusions of grandeur who thought that acting out his fantasy of being the Joker during the midnight premiere of the latest Batman movie would fulfill his fantasy.
You stand by what you said upthread because contrary to any evidence, that’s what you want to believe. You are perhaps dangerously close to being more like Holmes or a DU’er or contributor to the Daily KOS than a rational, thoughtful and intelligent conservative.
My original comment was a response to this comment:
“He must have converted recently.
The media probably wants to blame a white guy so they give out his birth name.
The other option is that the police originally were chasing a muslim who may have been the actual shooter. Holmes was probably the scape goat, a distraction, that’s why he gave up so easily.”
I believe this. The license plate is 119 ROC....as in COR 911. The date was 7/20. The event was the start of Ramadan.
Your original comment was this:
“First of all, if it was a Muslim terrorist, he mostly likely would have not been silent during the attack; he would have been yelling “Allah Akbar” and “Death to the Infidels”, would have blown himself as a martyr, his terrorist cell would be been claiming credit for it by now.
As far as the license plate; that’s not a vanity plate. Some years ago I had a license plate that started with WWF. People used to ask me if that was because I liked the World Wrestling Federation or the World Wildlife Fund. I know have a license plate that contains the numbers 116 but you know if you look at it upside down it says …….911….cue the scary music…. oooo…..I must be a muzzie.”
The last 10 words are insulting and meant to ridicule, given that I was remarking on a license plate that does have numbers which may be relevant.
Yet, the original story of the Aurora shooting that included the search for one Mohammad Alam, later, now has changed to a Korean name. Because we are not learning the facts of what actually occurred and the case records is now sealed, we will not know, and Holmes will be the official lone wolf case expected.
You questioned the reason for looking at authentication, then dismissed the proofs, themselves directly from the FBI, as of little value. The FBI memo of May of this year, specifically on warning of attacks on theaters, harken back to the memo warning of terror attacks, a memo from August of 2001.
Then again, you dismissed the reference to dates as meaningless to terrorists, which is patently absurd on its face, so I drafted a brief response specifically in regard to dates, numbers and their importance.
You are equivocating and may know it, bringing up the question, then, when presented with a response, dismissing it, even though the answers were in the responses..
I began responding, when in fact, you had originally wished to attack and infer that my thoughts are not worth your trouble. Don’t bother yourself again.
On the other hand, I do not attack FReepers.
