AURORA, Colo. (AP) — Authorities on Saturday began the intricate process of disarming booby traps in the apartment of the suspect behind the Colorado movie theater rampage, hoping to find clues inside to the motive for the shootings without causing an explosion that could destroy key evidence.

Scores of law enforcement officials, including bomb squad technicians and dozens of federal agents, removed one trip wire and one explosive device inside James Holmes' apartment Saturday, and "other devices" are in there, Aurora police Sgt. Cassidee Carlson said.

That was my thought, too. She didn’t say other than it was techno. Wonder why it’s being all hush hush?

"Explosion at the apartment."

Maybe because she didn't know the name of the song, not a big fan of techno?

Reminds me of an old Stephen Wright joke:

“I installed a skylight in my apartment... The people who live above me are furious!”

What the hell?
Who cares why he did it.

He did it.
You caught him.
Now fry him and move on.

Why not make HIM enter the apartment and either disarm it, or die?

The neighbor lady in the apartment below him went up to ask him to turn down the music. She was interviewed and said the door was cracked but for some reason she didn’t push it open. That was her lucky day.

A deliberate attempt to draw emergency responders and police to the apartment at the same time he was carrying out his massacre at the threatre.
Now we have to listen to months of handwringing from the judicial system as to whether he is 'competent' to stand trial. Only in America.

We should ban guns because he booby trapped his appartment, hadji style. (sarc off)

So, who is going to declare a reckless and irrelevant civil war against guns in the name of this now...

Guess we’ll hear the song title during the trial.

Right now, it seems the talking heads are leaning toward he was sane enough what with him being tops in his class and went to so much trouble to plan this out and knows enough to call for a lawyer immediately. Of course, if he’d been a minority or of a certain religion, they’d be on his side but he’s a white middle class well educated male so they want him to fry. For once, I’m with them.

Did y’all hear the talking head a few minute ago interviewing a gal that was more a “repeat after me” than an interview? Geez, who’s making the news?

Newsette - Did you think he was part of the movie?

Gal - Yes, I thought he was part of the movie.

Newsette - Did you think the first gunshots were fireworks?

Gal - Yes, I thought the first gunshots were fireworks.

Yes actually. It just struck me as asinine to be mostly concerned about blowing up evidence when demolishing an entire
apartment building would be the main concern logically.

I guess I’m still jaded by the stupidity of my local authorities for holding me in jail for a week when the gunman’s
lead was dug out of my front door jamb hours after my self defense moment and the 911 tape of me on the phone trying
to get the cops to stop the gunman before he got to my house.

This man is a cold-blooded mass murderer. Of course he’s competent to stand trial, but instead he will have a host of psychiatrists and a team of lawyers who will file endless motions to have him “tested” and retested over the next several years. I expect a circus in the courtroom if this ever comes to trial.

Here’s a man who was executed 20 days after he killed eight schoolchildren in China. Arrest, trial, appeals, and sentence all concluded in three weeks’ time:

Chinese justice for mass murderers, very efficient.
