AURORA, Colo. – James Holmes, the accused gunman in last Friday's midnight movie massacre in Colorado, mailed a notebook "full of details about how he was going to kill people" to a University of Colorado psychiatrist before the attack, but the parcel sat unopened in a mailroom for as long as a week before its discovery Monday, a law enforcement source told FoxNews.com.

Now the media is saying he was a dropout. At first they said he was “in the process of withdrawing”, what ever that means. Either you dropout or you don’t. Did he really dropout?

Have you ever been around campus in the summer?

Things move real slow or not at all, LOL.

Thank you!!!! I love FR but sometimes the need to try and find conspiracies or blame for something like the CO massacre is irritating.
It’s summer, hardly anyone is around, including most professors.
It’s not unusual for a package that contained nothing but a notebook to sit for a week before being picked up by someone.

The mother is denying that spin. However, I did see a report that someone from the mother’s camp called ABC to find out if there was a tape of the phone call before she went public that the spin by ABC was wrong.

One poster here says Holmes has signs of Asperbergers - which would explain the problem with the orals.

I did read that the orals were not a kick out if you fail type of deal.

I saw a discussion about this photo on a blog pertaining to the blood spattered trail. They said the pattern showed the individual was moving toward the door, not away. I really can’t tell.

“This doesn’t make sense to me. He forewarned someone.He would have been detained”

An ultra leftist freak I know lamented that if we had had national healthcare, this might not have happened.

That mag could be a reload, after a spent or jammed/malfunctioning drum.

:: what a nutcase this son might be. ::

I just want to throw this out there so folks aren’t jumping to conclusions...Holmes is a doctoral candidate in Neurosciences. He has text-book and clinical access to exactly what a nutcase acts like in certain situations.

I just caution that we not be deceived by what could be a very intelligent and well informed ACTOR looking to get off on a “nutcase” defense.

“One thing sticks in my mind - his mother when called telling whoever was on the line “you have the right person.”

Gaffer, his mother is all over the place saying reports of that comment are being twisted. She says she was woke up at 4 or 5:30 in the morning, asked if she had heard about the shootings, had her son described to her and confirmed that it “was him” when they described her son...she may have been thinking he was one of the victims at that point. She is being adamant about the fact she wasn’t acknowledging he could be the killer. Just fyi. You know how the press is. She has specifically called out ABC for making it sound different than what it was

Was comparing it to my experience with a fully-loaded AK-47 drum mag made of stamped steel. Larger round, heavier drum material. Hip-firing with one hand/arm was not practical if not impossible.

Also, when I think AR, I think AR10 (.308). This is me, personally. I understand that we’re talking .223, which I’ve admittedly never fired. I prefer larger caliber in rifles.

I'm surprised that no one has focused in on this little tidbit from the story:

According to Fox, “among the images shown in the spiral-bound notebook’s pages were gun-wielding stick figures blowing away other stick figures.”

Seems like an indication to me that someone else was involved in the plot.

The mother has come out and stated that ABC misrepresented what happened in that phone call. According to her attorney, she was awakened at 5:45 AM by a reporter asking her if she was Arlene Holmes and was she the mother of James Holmes of Aurora Colorado. She said, “Yes, you have the right person.” and then she asked why they were calling.

That scenario actually makes more sense and I don’t really think ABC has much credibility at this time. They made it sound like she was told about the massacre and that’s when she make the damning remark but she has denied that and ABC has no audio to back up their version.

One thing sticks in my mind - his mother when called telling whoever was on the line “you have the right person.” (or words to that effect). This tells me the parents were aware of what a nutcase this son might be.

The mother claims that statement was made before she was told what had happened and was in response to the question "Is this Arlene Holmes the mother of James Holmes of Aurora CO?"

Besides this is also a Brian Ross production so you know damn well that ABC misrepresented the call.

Why would a harmless package be considered suspicious ??? That makes no sense.

You might want to ask Prof. David Gelernter.

My thoughts exactly. This was him manufacturing evidence for his own insanity defense.

“wondering why an individual in a PhD program for Neuroscience would be keeping a logbook”

Among the images shown in the spiral-bound notebook’s pages were gun-wielding stick figures blowing away other stick figures.

UC had a grant to study PTSD. Was this part of the study? Was he working on it?

Why does the media refer to James Holmes as the “accused gunman” and “suspect” but call Zimmerman “the man who killed Treyvon Martin?”

I’m leaning to the idea it is a act.

Leaks happen. You haven’t followed the media and cases like this long enough to know that?
