He disproved me? He didnt even post anything in reference to my post.

I didn't say anything that could be disproven and certainly never insinuated something to which your inane response about mental illness was warranted. I'm well aware it can happen to anyone.

The big events that anecdotally came to my mind were Va Tech, Columbine and the Oakland college shootings all of which originated from sort of social shunning. Obviously there are underlying issues these people had but superficially and anecdotally he simply doesn't match the typical persona which I have for these type of things.

Do I need to stress words like "superficially" and "anecdotally" any more or do you understand?

"The highly-anticipated third installment of the Batman triology opened to packed auditoriums around the country at midnight showings on Friday morning, and features a villain named Bane who wears a bulletproof vest and gas mask. Trailers for the movie show explosions at public events including a football game. Though many moviegoers dressed in costume to attend the opening night screening, police have made no statements about any connection between the gunman's motives and the movie."

"Public records indicate that Holmes lived with two roommates, also from California, in the Aurora building where police have found explosives, at 1690 Paris St., Apt. 10. The building is reserved for students, faculty and staff from the medical campus. The Denver Post newspaper reported that Holmes, in an apartment rental application he last year, described himself as "quiet and easy-going." A pharmacy student who lives in the building told The Post he called 911 around 12:30 a.m. because there was a song blaring from the stereo inside apartment 10, where Holmes lived. The student, who wanted to be identified only as Ben, said he couldn't make out the song but that it seemed to be the same one playing on repeat. He also said Holmes kept to himself and wouldn't acknowledge people when they passed in the hall and said hello. "No one knew him. No one," he told The Post."

7/20/2012 2:21:47 PM

couple of things that stick out for me

1) If he wanted to kill as many people as possible, why did he tell the cops that his apartment was boobytrapped?

2) Some eyewitness said before the movie started, someone was taking a call on the cellphone and went out and propped open the Exit Door. I wonder if he had an accomplice. Otherwise, how did he get in from the Exit, which typically is locked right?

7/20/2012 2:24:13 PM

they want attention for going in like rambo and shooting the place up, also these shooters are typically not right in the head, so who knows why they do it.

7/20/2012 2:26:14 PM

^^your own post answered your question. He went OUT of the exit and PROPPED it open, thus easily entering the exit.

Ok, I thought the eyewitness said the person taking the call came back in, and the shooter followed shortly thereafter. Hopefully it's just one person and no accomplice.

I'm praying that there aren't more that will be deceased. Considering all that he went to for preparations, including prob many rounds of AR15, shotgun, Glock 40 in a very enclosed area.

All the guns were legally bought and owned. Doesn't change anything but will turn into a big story I'm sure.

7/20/2012 3:44:22 PM

it shouldnt be about the guns...

NOW its more the fact that even his parents knew he was off, but they did nothing about it.

its a pattern time and time again with these people that they seem off, yet no one does anything about it or mentions anything to anyone.

THATS the problem.

7/20/2012 3:53:21 PM

YESSSSSSS

7/20/2012 3:55:58 PM

it shouldn't be about guns but it WILL be about guns. the reason is the anti-gun white house administration and anti-gun media. this is just another excuse for the anti-gun advocates to demand tougher gun control laws which is completely BS. tougher laws would not have prevented this tragedy, plain and simple.

7/20/2012 3:56:31 PM

1) what has this White House done to show that it's anti-gun?

and

2) of course it is about guns

I don't mean to belabor the point, but it's well-known what his positions are on single-payer health insurance; that doesn't make his White House administration anti-private health insurance.

hell, not even passed. try and find one that's been proposed

From cursory research basically all he has done is try and close the loophole for buying guns at trade shows with no background check.

Clearly wants to ban all guns everywhere!
