UPDATE: 11:30 a.m. ET: James Holmes, the suspect in the Colorado theater massacre, appeared in a Colorado courtroom on Monday. A judge advised Holmes of his Miranda rights, and that there was probable cause to continue to hold him without bond on suspicion of first-degree murder.
Holmes, who was transported from from a holding cell to the courtroom via an underground tunnel, appeared dazed: his brow furrowed, his eyes opening and closing often. His hair was dyed red. He did not speak.
Seated in a jury box next public defender Tamara Brady, Holmes never looked towards a gallery that included about two dozen victims and victims advocates.
The preliminary hearing lasted for about 11 minutes. Holmes' next court appearance is July 30.

So what liquid explosive do you favor in your trip wire bottle bombs...Nitro glycerin? Sheesh.
Still I do see some plausibility in your “programming comments” related to this killer. Something does smell about this case and the whole gestalt of its planning and execution; if not black ops, then perhaps something of a more darker order.
I don’t really know the answer to that. I think it’s possible. This guy was very intelligent. I don’t know if schizophrenia wipes out intelligence or just twists it to irrational thoughts and acts through its delusions.
Nice hair.
Did Grimace and Mayor McCheese show up in the courtroom for moral support?

Obviously you have no concept or idea on the obsessive compulsive nature of a mental illness. Not defending what he did. It has been shown men in the twenties get schizophrenia. I saw a video on FOX today where he spoke at a Science shingdig. he seemed very normal. From reports that have been simmering to the top, he had been planning this for months. Something in him snapped. What? We may never know. But the focus and determination can very well be part of the mental illness he suffers from. I do want to say what he did was heinous in every way. I do not condone what he did.
Wondering if anyone seen any similarities in the individual who shot Giffords with this one?
the leftist scum already jumping on the gun control/ban bandwagon is the same as it was when giffords was shot. Obama speaking to the victims and saying to be civil needs be insttutionalized and civilized himself.
Absolutely no doubt in my mind, this young man is schizophrenic.
I know from experience, since my own brother is diagnosed schizophrenic. I have been with him to group sessions with other people who suffer from the same, and they ALL have these same mannerisms. It only took a few moments of watching that video too see it.
He is just about at the right age for onset, and early on in the disease, it can be mild at times, and severe at other times.
I’m not convinced this guy had any idea these were real people, in a real theater, or if he was in some type of mental video game. Schizophrenia is like that. My brother was convinced he was bugsy malone for half a year. It was not an act. As far as he was concerned, he was.
Someone knew he was ill, and he should have been treated. Many people do many evil acts, and this was a very evil act, but I’m not convinced it truly came from a lucid need to kill people. He is VERY ill.
Totally agree. I saw horror in his eyes. That realization of “what have I done?”. Video games aren’t real life. Reality is knocking on his door. Playing the joker sounded like a good thing at the time for him when life was in disarray. World of Warcraft and role playing games might dominate one’s head and it can blur the lines of fact and fiction. Throw in a bit of developing mental illness and your take makes perfect sense.
The Unabomber comes to mind.
Moments of brilliance mixed with a gigantic bag of crazy
After looking through some stills and videos, I’m more inclined to believe your assessment. Also, detoxification looks different across different types of drugs. DTs from alcohol vs. DTs from narcotics, for instance, are quite different. However, given the vacant stare and the complete lack of affect, I think you’re right about the anti-psychs.
I don’t think you wrong in what you see. I too see very similar things.
He wasn’t meant to survive and as a secondary thing I think this was done on the fly and not planned out and executed as a long term project. This was done to put new re-emphasis on eliminating the 2nd amendment once Fast and Furious was put on the hot seat in Congress.
The United Nations ATT treaty was supposed to be the final nail in the coffin of the 2nd amendment and to be done so with a minimum amount of publicity.
“Most times middle of the road and mainstream are code for “bat-sh@t crazy leftist.”

Worth repeating.
I for one am SICK and TIRED of being labeled a “hater” or an “extremist” for having the moral and political perspective of the VAST majority of historically traditional Americans.
The Left may be gaining SOME new adherents among the young and dumb, the QueerMedia gullible and the ObamaParasites, but the NORMAL (conservative) mindset is what has dominated in this country throughout its magnificent, off-the charts, successful history.
Been doing this 30 years. :)
