So basically you are asking why a person acting irrational wasn’t rational?

None of this checks out.

Sure it does, it's what crazy people do. They want to be the big shot, tell the cops all about it, be center of attention....He had all the answers....He told them what's up... Talk big about how he set up his apartment for the big boom...Crazy people do and say crazy irrational things.

Some crazies admit to murders they never committed, wanting attention....All kinds of nutbars out here.

On top of all this, Holmes apparently has no background. "He's not on anybody's radar screen -- nothing," said a peace officer in a NYT article. "This guy is somewhat of an enigma. Nobody knows anything about him." (Except that he was born in Hawaii:)

2 points:
a. It could be a mask to target one individual in a crowd but kill the crowd to hide it.
b. If cops would get out of their cars and walk their beats with bomb sniffing dogs they would have heard the loud music and the K9 react and investigated.
Here we forced the police to get out of their cars and walk around the streets so they know what the h is going on.
They have 8 sniffers here but they try to keep them in the cars all the time which is really stupoid.

Sure it adds up - He had taken several Vicodin and was stoned out of his gourd.

FOX had some terrific psychiatric analysts on their shows tonight who helped me understand everything that could have been going through the killer’s mind.

Just like the pedophiles when they’re caught in those TV stings, most of them all of a sudden get very compliant and obedient in the face of police and authority figures. These criminals are weak-willed, cowardly people. That’s why both pedophiles and this killer targeted mostly young people who were trapped in a defenseless position. He had no real advantage in fighting the cops and caved into fear.

There is also the possibility that he wanted to get caught. Especially since in his online personal ad, he asked if the women would visit him in jail.

We don’t know what went on in the conversation with cops about the bomb. His plan clearly seemed to be for the music to start at midnight and cause someone to trigger the explosion. My guess is he was bragging to the cops about what they’d find in his apartment, not realizing his plan had failed and no one triggered the bomb in that half hour timespan. He may also have not been targetting cops for whatever reason, and figured if a civilian hadn’t triggered it he didn’t want the cops to do so.

Also, the whole point of this killing spree was for him to get the high of having power and control in a life where he clearly felt he was special enough to deserve more of it than he had. He might have been so drunk on power after the killing spree that he felt arrogant enough to be able to brag about the bombs to the cops and still think they’d fall victim to them.

He also wanted the perceived power that would come from the fame and notoriety he gained from this event. That’s why he targetted the single biggest media event that he had ready access to, the opening screening of what was anticipated to be the biggest movie of the year. This is much less about him being inspired by a movie than it is about him picking the one target that would make the most headlines and capture the public’s imagination. If his plan was to become famous as a killer than trying to associate himself with a very famous movie by imitating its star character and shooting people at a big event for the movie makes perfect sense.

This is less similar to Columbine than it is to someone like Mark David Chapman who targetted John Lennon because he thought he himself was more deserving of the public’s admiration and attention and tried to get it by associating himself with John Lennon in the eyes of the media and history books the only way that he could.

I find it strange it happened at the start of Ramadan, maybe it was a sacrifice to the mooslim moon god.

Wouldn’t LEO assume that the apartment was boobytrapped?
