I bet your eyes look even crazier than Holmes'.

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.

Just as an aside, I think that’s what was really going on with Lee Harvey Oswald’s “I’m a patsy” statement before he was killed. He had wound himself up to strike a blow for world communism and the Cuban revolution...and when the smoke cleared, he couldn’t accept the magnitude of what he had just done. Couldn’t accept that it was his own doing and his own fault.
You KNOW when something isn’t right with one of your kids. YOU KNOW. What you do about it, or in this case, not, measures the level of courage within you and speaks to the core of who you are as a human being...I agree with you, Mary. Mental illness can easily be a lifetime struggle, and if the parents aren't strongly part of it (siblings too), where does the sick person go? I wonder if the parents either agreed to or encouraged his further education. Too.much.stress for someone in his condition (no matter what it is). Mother Teresa of Calcutta once said, and it makes a great deal of sense to me:
If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.Prayers for all involved.
Check this guy for Scopolamine.
It would be noticeable to the parents but hard to understand what it was or how bad it was seeing their adult child, who had been as normal as any child all along, become stranger and stranger as a young adult. The schizophrenic would probably speak to them less and less as the illness increased too (paranoia is a major feature of schizophrenia) so they would know little about how bad it was getting.
Since the child would be an adult the parents would have little legal or emotional influence over them either. They would have to go to court to have them adjudicated incompetent and the legal threshold for doing that is steep. As it should be.
As a public service, if you decide to go see a movie, please let everybody else know where and when.
“Send him to Texas and he will get the express lane.”
Send him to China and he’ll get the super express lane. They executed a man who killed schoolchildren there 20 days after the crime.

Post 56 is Stage 1.
Dyeing one’s hair orange is Stage 2.
I bet your eyes look even crazier than Holmes'.
LOL
I think he’s just outright possessed, as in “LEGION because we are many” possessed. If there is a group of ‘em called Joker they are/were in his head and took over last week.
Maybe he let the devil make him do it. He could be schizo, too, but his eyes are just bizarre.
It (CO) is one of the 27 states whose involuntary treatment standard is based on a person’s “need for treatment” rather than only the person’s likelihood of being dangerous to self or others. “
BOTH!
He looks like he had a long, late night with Bubba.
Yes, that is the one.
Excellent comparison if this want so horrible would be very funny
Stuned is a hugh and series word...
Welcome to Free Republic.
Your sign in date relative to my sign in date makes you appear new. Plus it seemed you did not to know a very large piece of freeper lore. So I posted that to you. If you’re an old timer who has changed their screen name or if your original post was sarcasm on your part, I’m sorry. I must admit, it went right over my head.
What you have here is a young man coming to the realization that he has thrown his life away and is facing a living hell for the remainder of his time on earth.
When he was planning these atrocities, no doubt he had delusions of grandeur. Maybe he thought he was going to become some sort of cult hero. He might even have envisioned escaping the scene of his crimes, at least temporarily, and watching the news unfold on a motel TV as he planned to drift across the country and melt away into the landscape.
Instead, he was caught almost immediately and slammed into a jail cell where he has had the entire weekend in isolation to think about what he has done and what lies ahead of him.
This is not the look of an insane or drugged man. This is the look of a man who now realizes he has done something horrible and will never take another free breath again. He will be locked up in a prison cell the rest of his life and that's not even the worst of it. He will need to watch his back at all times as his fellow inmates will want to hurt or kill him at the first opportunity. He won't even be able to take a bite of prison food without wondering whether somebody spit or peed in it or worse (and you know they will).
In short, it's all downhill from here for this wretched human being. With the deeds done, there is nothing good to look forward to in this lifetime. Nothing. This is the look of a man who is staring into the abyss.
LMAO!!!
