NBC dinna.
Nothing has been confirmed. Looks like the guy might have schizophrenia.
I wouldn’t hold my breath. Could you post what the FL PI said thinks etc?
PMSNBC is moving on to gun control already.
This morning, when I saw a brief mention of it, I went to the OWS website. There was a discussion about Holmes. A few members admitted that, indeed he was a member of OWS, but their mission was to remain non-violent. I understand that...and I understand that crazies can join a group or remain alone. I am not blaming them.
That discussion, on their website, was deleted when I tried to pull it up again this afternoon. Then, a certain FReeper accused me of not knowing what I was talking about...of spreading rumors.
After reading other posts by that FReeper, I didn’t feel badly. Seems to bitch and accuse everyone of posting rumors and crap, but he doesn’t ever have the info and sources himself. Sad character. You just gotta laugh at some people.
It’s fine to speculate in private discussion, but it would be irresponsible to air such theories without evidence. That’s all it is so far, a possibility.
“(Holmes’) age, the black clothes and gas mask he was wearing, the facts he is white and underground, the facts he is a drifter prone to over-the-top violence, it all fits. Batman features an Occupy-type bad guy and this nut job may have taken it personally.”
Tenuous connection at best. What other kind of clothing would you wear if you wanted move around at night and what else would you wear on your face if you were going to throw tear gas?
That and Black Bloc has never actually gone around shooting people, so saying this is their “tactics” is kind of silly.
A man called into Denver KOA today and said he was doing a documentary on OWSers in Denver. He said he recognized the guy and is reviewing tapes and photo records. He says he’a almost positive they interviewed the guy.
That said, this shooter has the same look on his face as Son of Sam and Jared Loughner (shot Gabby Giffords). He’s completely insane. He also told the cops he was the Joker and other bizarre things.
a lot of speculation with zero facts about this guys life except his schooling.
but if I were to speculate, OWS would seem a more likely connection than the tea party!
The media have dug up more info about James Holmes the tea party member, than this man.
If he’s from Denver OWS you can comb pics here to see if he shows up

And nobody will admit the influence of the Muslim Brotherhood with the OWS movement and the Black Bloc.
Moslems using white boys looking for fame, seems like a recurring tactic.
