The young man who is in custody after allegedly gunning down 12 people in a mass shooting spree overnight in Aurora, Colorado has been identified as local resident James Holmes, according to federal authorities.

That information was taken down by Channel 9. James Holmes is the culprit. Not clear yet on the internet how that person came to be blamed before it was taken down.
Some of the worst wild speculations seem to come at the start of a thread.
If you can jump in on the beginning, apparently that gives you some kind of childish props. I was here first, I was here first...
And if you add a wild speculation that fits many peoples’ pet theories about every incident that occurs, all the better.
It takes a little time before anything reliable comes out from such incidents. If you take a little time yourself to get some underlying facts before commenting, your own credibility will fare much better, no matter your POV.
People either don’t realize their credibility is at stake, or they don’t care if it is.

They need to ban Rush....LOL
This must be a joke, right? I'm not used to see that kind of idiocy on FR. I mean, some idiocy, yes, but nothing like that.
In that case, I am heading out to the grocery store at about that time. Don't want to see that POS jump in front of a mass of cameras and, without evidence, try to politicize another violent event.
Why Rush Limbaugh? Sound more like this guy was acting out the extreme violence put out by Hollywood.
Next, they’ll blame Sarah Palin.
So are you just going to randomly post the Facebook link to people named “James Holmes”? Particularly if they are not the same person and posted just 11 minutes ago?
So you have some people desperate to put the shooter in a particular category, and others who just randomly post people who are not connected.

Is he going to give some shout-outs first, or is that only when unarmed servicemembers are murdered for diversity?
And any violence that was linked to OWS - Chicago streets thuggery, or leftist extremism simply evaporates from their poor memory.
They only have room in their puny brains for hatred against their perceived opponents.
No concern for actual facts whatsoever.
He’s going to say that “He didn’t really shoot them, somebody else made that happen.”
I will bet that like all the others who have done this, the guy was on
Ritilin or some other drug of this sort!!! Parents need to think twice
before putting their kids on this stuff for hyperactivity ect.
The internet has created a very hostile and provoking group of insane people.
The internet or rap music or tv doesn’t create insane people.
Rather insane people gavitate towards,, or actively seek out, insane elements that exist within the internet or rap or tv or name it.
People who imitate, or identify with, whatever they see do not have very strong self identities.
Most have poor, or no, healthy male role models. Not to mention serious boundry issues.
“UPDATE: The James Holmes arrested at the Aurora theater was 24 years old and seems to be from Denver, CO, according to a Facebook profile (a similar Facebook profile linked by a local news reporter has not been confirmed as the suspect’s profile, either). There are many people with the name “James Holmes” in the area, and the James Homes on the Tea Party website could match a James Homes from Aurora, CO who is in his fifties and therefore does not fit the description of the suspect. More evidence that Ross, Stephanolpoulos and ABC rushed to blame the Tea Party without confirmation that the suspect is also the Tea Party member.”
you shouldn’t put up a link from FB since it’s not the shooter and you are just contributing to misinformation.
ABC draws possible Tea Party connection with alleged Aurora [Colorado] shooter
Ok, here is some homework.
Please carefully list all of the evidence from the page you keep linking to that James Holmes is an OWS member.
Helpful hint: Random pictures of OWS people don’t count.
I’m sure the perp will be made into a card carrying member of the Tea Party and did this crime because Obama is black and Republicans are obstructing gun law reform.
.... Whether we like it or not ..... Looks like gun control just became the main issue for this election. The MSM will make sure it is.
