The comments here are deplorable. Everyone is up in arms when ABC news cries James Holmes = Tea Party, and yet the hypocrites here are doing the exact same thing. Calling him a queer, libtard, OWS... and no one knows a damn thing about this young man yet!! Get some facts before making the idiotic statements I’m reading here.
Drudge reporting through CBS suspect hair painted red, claimed to be The Joker.
I don’t care whether he’s queer or straight, but he murdered innocent people.. including babies.. in cold blood. And I volunteer to pump a few rounds into the back of his head at execution time. To hell with the IVs.
Bastard. MF’ing evil bastard.
I haven’t read anything yet about who finally took the shooter down.
Isn’t it amazing what the media can find out about someone in 14 hours? Also what they can ignore for 3 and a half years. We knew Joe the Plumber was paying child support within 2 hours.
He is going to be one of these three
1. Convert to Islam
2. Admirer of Adolph Hitler, Nazism, and Tim McVeigh
3. Occupy Wall Street admirer
He has Obama’s ears...another one of his “sons?” Kid probably decided to go off his meds.
This timing is eerily similar to the Tucson event. Time to SERIOUSLY CONSIDER 'false flag', planned 'sympathy evoking' events to give Zero a boost in faltering polls.
Stadium event, here we come!
UPDATE Occupy Black Bloc Member James E. Holmes Shoots Up Aurora Co Movie Theater Killing 12 And Wounding 50.
A couple of witnesses are reporting that the killer received a phone call while in his seat, then exited the emergency door to suit up. WHO CALLED THIS GUY? Were any code words used which triggered his action? Did an agency with three initials call him to action? Was this killer programmed to do this? Jared Loughner, Part II? Stadium speech and U.N. gun control Treaty to follow?
Why did this guy drop out of college/grad school? What happened? What were his most recent courses and papers/research?
I knew a someone who became a schizophrenic. He was normal kid and used drugs as a teenager. Dropped out of college and then life. A year later he was institutionalized after removing his teeth that had fillings. They were talking to him. He overdosed a few months after getting out. Whether he died of an accident or suicide at 25, the Jerry we remember died before he turned 21.
