His behavior doesn't add up
His behavior already reveals stark inconsistencies that question the mainstream explanation of events. For example, he opened fire on innocent people but then calmly surrendered to police without resistance. This is not consistent with the idea of "killing everyone."
Furthermore, he then admitted to police that his apartment was booby-trapped with explosives. If you were really an evil-minded Joker trying to kill people (including cops), why would you warn them about the booby trap in advance? It doesn't add up.
"Holmes was taken into custody shortly after the shooting, police said, adding he didn't resist when he was arrested," reports a local CBS news affiliate.
"After his arrest, Holmes told police about 'possible explosives in his residence,' Oates said. When police searched his apartment, they discovered it was booby-trapped and evacuated surrounding buildings, police said. Oates said bomb technicians are determining how to disarm flammable or explosive material in the third-floor apartment. He said police could be there some time."
None of this checks out. If you're a killer bent on causing mayhem, why tell the police about your surprise bomb waiting for them back at your apartment?
Holmes was clearly provided with exotic gear...

“I wonder if the POS in the WH will pardon holmes.”
Wouldn’t surprise me if he did. This stupid act only serves to enhance O’Bummer’s agenda for COMPLETE and TOTAL removal/confiscation of guns in America...
Over my dead and cold hands will I give up my guns, IF I had any guns in the first place.

I find it strange it happened at the start of Ramadan, maybe it was a sacrifice to the mooslim moon god.
Your probably correct .
His plotting the attack will be hard to put up a
Mental illness case
Wouldn’t LEO assume that the apartment was boobytrapped?
I will watch it only if you can assure me that it’s not another Islamopandering flick that tells me about the poor muslim victims. Good muslims to me are really bad muslims (humanized secularized), and they are in the crosshairs of the radicals just as much as we infidels are.
Any how, the bigger picture seems to be getting the guns out of the hands of law abiding individuals. The UN is after our Congress to bring it about thru international authority — and Ramadan has started so maybe Holmes is part of the Jihad? Trayvon didn’t do it for the Fast & Furious crowd. So, maybe the Joker will be able to pull it off.
THe alleged value of his weapons and gear keeps going up with every post. By the end of the day, I expect to read that the value was $50,000. By next Wednesday, the value will exceed the national debt.
Two Glock .40s -- $1200. One Remington 870 -- $400. One Colt AR-15 .223 -- $1400. Total = $4000.
300 12g shotgun shells -- $70. 3000 rounds of .40 -- $900. 3000 rounds of .223 -- $1200. Total = $2170.
Grand Total (before body armor) = $6170.
I read somewhere that he wasn't wearing body armor, but rather a Blackhawk tactical vest ($100). But even body armor can be purchased for under $300. Same for gas masks. Throw in a couple of smoke bombs and tear gas canisters and we're talking $7500 tops and even that's a stretch.
I own the movie and have watched it enough to know it well. It’s a rough go for some people, and one of the characters is whiny. I am indifferent to the end of it, as I have my own perspective. But parts of it are dead on the money. And no, it doesn’t pander.
The only other recent movie that struck me about the Middle East is “The September Tapes.”
I doubt what he had could be had for $2,000. Just the cost of 6,000 rounds of 223 ammo would total more than $3,000 if he shopped around and that doesn’t include taxes or shipping and that is a very optimistic estimate. The AR 15 would be close to a thousand by itself if he were lucky and got it on sale. The body armor, other weapons, other ammo, magazines and booby trap materials would drive the cost up immensely .... and the jerk didn’t seem to be experienced at all which leads me to believe that he spent at least $10,000 but probably more.
I’ve tried to find anything solid online to link Holmes to the Black Bloc OWS faction, but zilch. As I posted on another thread:
From what I’ve been able to find, that claim seems to be based on a coincidence of names, just like ABC’s false assertion he was a Tea Partier. It seems another James Holmes posted some pro OWS videos on YouTube, and from those and the fact that like Black Bloc members at riots the shooter wore a gas mask and black clothes some PI in Florida came to the conclusion he was in the Black Bloc, which then got “verified” by actual OSW members discussing the PI’s assertion and another YouTube post with screen-shots of their discussion.
Do you have anything solid to back that up, are are you just propagating a meme?
The FReeper of whom I asked that question on the other thread didn’t post anything in reply. If you have something solid, you should share it with us.
Let’s go through it again:
First, Holmes was not an “unemployed medical student”. He was a doctoral student in neuroscience who dropped out at the end of last semester. Unlike med students who take out loans for their whole education, Ph.D. students in the sciences generally get full-ride plus stipend fellowships. It also seems Holmes also got a grant from the NIH (via some sort of program that gave money to his university to make grants to doctoral students). Graduate students can also take out student loans, and in amounts larger than undergraduates. He could easily have had a fair bit of spare money without using either fraud or consumer credit.
Second, the $20K figure was made up by some blogger seemingly out of thin air. Critics in the comments to the blog post suggested that a really good bargain hunter could have acquired Holmes’ kit for $2K, I priced it out to $5K, other FReepers suggest $7500 tops.
I think it’s obvious that he knew better but at some point decided to stop caring. Worse than that...to do irreparable harm to his fellow citizens and to his own life.
It’s just another sign of the times. No anti-gun laws can do much to prevent people from behaving like that. It’s all in the way life is being portrayed in our culture, which seems to be more pop culture than any other unless we’re also talking about multiculturalism, not to mention what’s actually happening out there in the busy, busy world.
If you integrate all the variables in the equation........ Obama’s fault
It is much harder to stop a crazy person than you would think.
