exotic gear my aching azz... fehI wonder if the POS in the WH will pardon holmes.
If this statement is accurate, then this could indicate that someone else actually booby-trapped the apartment. Why else would the term "possible explosives" be used here?
Again -- this is purely speculation based on the exact wording of the statement here.
Question: Where does an unemployed, introverted medical school student get the training to deploy sophisticated booby traps, tactical body armor, weapons systems and more? Certainly not in graduate school!
All this leads to an obvious third party influence over all this. Someone else taught this guy these skills and funded the acquisition of the equipment.
Yes, it adds up. He had expected to have a prearranged explosion at his apartment draw the police off, and then the booby traps draw more police and first responders off, which would facilitate his escape. Although the explosion occurred, and his neighbors noted the noise, they did not report it to 911, so the police responded more efficiently to the theater shooting reports and captured him. Once he was captured there was no longer any need to kill the police and first responders with the booby traps, because now that he was caught cooperation might mitigate his punishment.
Odd he had all the battle gear but gave up so easily.
exotic gear my aching azz... fehFor one, he wrongly assumed the apartment had already blown up. By the reports the music started playing very loud right at midnight and the door was not locked. He assumed someone from the apartments would have just walked in, in essence destroying much of the evidence inside. Essentially, he took credit for something that never happened.
My guess why no one fought back is that the theater was filled with children and adult children. The average mental age of people attending those movies I would guess to be at 10-12 years old. However, there seems to be something strange about the shooter and his preparations. 10 - 20 thousand dollars for equipment, bomb making abilities and supplies, and his easy surrender just don’t add up. Something is just wrong about the whole thing.
Colorado Shooter’s Behavior “doesn’t add up”
Because he’s nuts?
One other thing doesn’t add up — The Aurora police chief speaking on camera acting like he didn’t know in advance from the shooter that the apt. was booby-trapped. He was just dang ANGRY that this guy could have hurt first responders going to his pad. Huh?
This is going to get really weird, folks. Much weirder than Loughner. Not saying Holmes didn’t have some sort of psychotic break, but was this on the radar? Where is his family — come on, Don Lemmon, get your sorry buns to California.
OK, here is my tin foil response.
I wonder if the attack could be an Obama October surprise of sorts?
Remember how Obama got a bump after the Grifford shootings?
And how everyone fell in love with Clinton after the Oklahoma City bombing?
Obama will give an eloquent speech at a well televised memorial and suddenly the magic will be back.
Could this mass murderer be an Obama fan?
This whole thing (even the same smirky, crazy eyed, gaze in the mug shot) reminds me of the Giffords shooting.
This lunatic’s mother when called knew immediately that her son was the shooter. It begs the question how many other people knew that this man was dangerous. Friends, teachers, neighbors, fellow students etc. Fully understand that the police cannot visit and question a person just because someone says he is crazy, but if someone reports that a person is acting crazy and is accumulating guns, ammo and assault gear, then the police would have paid at least a visit. Even if everything he accumulated was within the law, a visit by a police officer may have given him pause and may have changed history. Then again maybe nothing would have been changed. However if I had a neighbor with mental health problems and the guy suddenly began accumulating weapons,and his behavior was known to someone, certainly would hold that someone partially responsible if no actions were taken.

The author is either off his meds or a crackpot. Sounds like he’s been listening Alex Jones too much.
It makes no sense at all to prepare to kill a bunch of people and then to buy nearly 100X the ammo than he could use or even carry.
He started failing at the one thing he was actually good at and the place he 'fits'. (it does make one wonder if Ca Universities are up to the same standards of others). He didn't want to die, he just want to be successful at something and he didn't want to go back to living with mom and dad. He wanted to hurt some people for all his long felt hurt and his failure. He is now the mass killer who has killed and maimed the mostest and he won't be living with mom and dad.
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.
It is also known that he left Techno music blaring in his apartment on loop. There are no reports that this was business as usual. I suspect he started out thinking somebody would complain or the mng or whatever would set it off and add to his mass kill numbers. I think he may have been sickened a bit after he shot up the theater. He stayed at his car near the scene and confessed what was at his apartment and offered no resistance.He also had the ammo to do MUCH more damage than he did. Perhaps he was beaten by himself by suddenly becoming overwhelmed with conscience, not the fictional charter of the Joker. Though the past Batman movie did make the Joker have reasonable points.
"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.

I also wonder if he didn't start off planning to shoot up his school but his access was removed once he started the withdrawal process. He didn't bank on that. He sat on his roof top and went to a local bar, always with his backpack in tow. I suspect he was plotting and gathering his nerve all along...
Batman is when he finally held his breath and stepped off the diving board. It was dark, that made it easier to go against his conscience.
“was really an evil-minded Joker”
They have doubts?
Prankster maybe?
The communist DemocRATS are desperate right now so nothing they did would surprise me. Their useful idiots are like muzzie suicide bombers and are always willing to sacrifice themselves for “the cause”. Especially when they know their “leaders” will make sure they get off. They’ve already started on “the guy is crazy and was on drugs” routine. The cops are staying busy trying to find out where the guns and ammo came from. They’re not really interested in Holmes. The ‘RAT politicians have another election year rubber chicken to beat the GOPers over the head with. We’re going to see a couple “polls” this week where “americans” say that gun control is their number one issue. JMO.
