as accused madman James Holmes

"Accused madman"? What, is "madman" a new criminal charge? "We find the defendant guilty of first-degree madman, Your Honor."

This is in direct contrast to the guy who bailed, leaving his girlfriend and two kids alone in the theater. He even drove away from the theater in his car, only driving back to get them when the “coast was clear.”

Holmes is apparently just another registered Democrat.

Let’s hope it’s true, and this isn’t just an effort to manufacture a theme..

It's unfortunate that these three even had to be heroes in the first place.

But Cinemark has a Zero Gun Policy at ALL its theaters. Which even yesterday they were still defending. So even people who could legally carry in CO, COULDN'T in their theater!

So the NUTCASE Holmes knew he had a Target Rich Environment. I'd expect Billions of dollars in Lawsuits against Cinemark. Hopefully enough to put them out of business as the blood is also on their hands for their 'Gun Free Zone' policy.

Many survivors will face long term medical issues and permanent injuries. We haven’t heard details of all of the most critically wounded. No, I do hold it against the President when he visits. It is the right thing to do.

Putting themselves in danger to protect others. Not a bad definition of valor. Well done guys. Truly, rest in peace.

And it appears to me he hoped his booby trapped apartment would explode by 1230 am and bring many police there. But the neighbor Mrs. Fonzi ( i saw her on FOX) did not open his door despite the loud music turning on at 12am. She called non emergency police number but no one arrived , music stopped 1 am.

The polls in Colorado between Romney and B. Hussein Obama are very tight. By Democrat James Holmes (D-Aurora) taking out these three Republicans, it could give Obama this swing State (remember, Democrat James Holmes (D-Aurora) can still vote this November).

I don't care where it is; if there's no metal detector, I carry.

Holmes came into the theatre with several firearms and the management did nothing to stop his entry.

That's the basis of 70+ lawsuits that will ruin Cinemark Holding!

I doubt the man with the rings in his lips was a Republican voter.
