Ok ok ok before I get ragged on....this guy (shooter) is a psych major and med student and 24. What if the shooting and the insane behavior is an attempt to end in an insane asylum then be released in 8-10 as cured get his PhD write books and make millions.
Crazy yes but he is only 24, he'll be out by 34.

But the college itself appeared to contradict media reports that the package had been sent before the massacre...oh, so he sent it after the shootings??? - ineffectual intellectuals trying to cover their a$$es because they didn't take action which might have saved lives quickly enough - but then intellectuals can't be bothered with practical humdrum day to day activities, with their heads so high in the clouds......

much more than a psych major, a neuroscience student/candidate for a PhD and he’s one of six who got a grant to attend his school. He’s really brilliant in his field.

I don’t think the guy in the court room is the same guy, Holmes, that we have seen pictures of.

I think it’s just another media failure with the initial report of the package arriving on July 12. Foxnews has had its embarrassing share of failures.

If you disregard the bugged out eyes (lack of eyelashes), it is the same guy.
Something happened to him between the normal photos and the clockwork orange eyes.
He does seem to be able to use his facial muscles very well.
I think he’s pouting in the mug shot.
Wait till his beard comes in and he’ll look like the OWS guy being carried away.

I didn’t really search yet but I want to see the earlier pixs of him. I believe his hair was finer - that’s looks like a wig. Something about this says bogus. Wednesday he had coffee with someone, a neighbor or acquaintance and he said he was chatting w/him and he appeared fine. No one changes like that in a few days.

From what I read, that was debunked, it's not him - there was a thread on it.

I also read where he had drinks with someone. It was just some stranger at the place, they just started chatting. As to his hair, he must not have had a haircut in 3 months so it grew into a mop.

Here are some links with photos:

Notice his forehead lines in that camp photo, they're just like the ones he has in court.

Another thing, many say that he was heavily into role playing. He picked a date to become the joker and became him. Hence in our eyes he snapped, to himself, he's a new person. Time will tell how long he can keep the act. If he ever breaks down.

I think it’s possible he sent the package to someone at the university hoping that he could somehow make the university culpable financially, as in lawsuits against the university for not taking steps to stop him. Apparently he had recently failed an important exam and might have been angry and wanting to strike out at the school and administrators.

He carefully planned the whole thing, including booby-trapping his apartment. I hope he does not get off on an insanity defense.

Today I agree with you.

The black devil horn hair smiling dude is not the red haired googly eyed dude.

When I mentioned it casually to someone - he said you aren’t the only one that sees that. So others are chatting about it, also.

I was waiting to see pictures of his parents going to see him in prison. No way would parents not visit their son and his sister - and in a rush to speak w/him because he sure wasn’t that way when he went to CO. I wanted to squash my doubts but NOTHING!

I wonder if we’ll hear anything from the parents, or will they be well paid to keep silent.

Maybe it’s the wrong guy and that’s why the public defender instead of a private lawyer.
Maybe that’s why the mom made sure the interpretation of her words were corrected.

There’s something wrong with everything about and around this shooter. A lot of cover ups happening. Story changes.
