"Bomb technicians on a fire truck's crane were seen maneuvering a triggering device through the broken window of the apartment." On a Fire Truck's Crane?? Where in the world do some of these reporters get their information on things?? There is NO Fire Dept that has a "crane"!! PLEASE get your information straight before publishing it!! The fire truck they were using is called a few different names such Aerial Platform, Bucket or Tower not a crane!!!
Good to know they diffused his apartment...It's bad enough there are the shooting victims at the theatre...Adding first responders to this psycho's kill list would've really fanned an already angry fire...
How about this idea. Have a lynching for Mr Holmes in front of Aurora city hall. Sell Tickets for event, and have proceeds go to families, victims, and to help pay for all tax payers $$ that have to go towards police overtime, etc. Even televise event!Show it before each Batman movie.
My heart goes out to the folks there. He was just acting upon what he had learned form the 24/7 news coverage from past attacks like this. He could have killed just as many people with his car running into them in the parking lot, and that he could have done with no planning at all, and no guns or ammo. This psyhco was created by the News Media, who slosh through the blood of victims to get ratings and push a Leftist gun control agenda. They gave him all the info he needed and now are rewarding him with a world stage to inflict as much damage on our free and open society as he can. The blood is on the News Media's hands but they will hide behind their right of freedom of the Press, and use it as a weapon against law abiding citizen's right to keep and bear arms.
Why bother to spend time mourning over this senseless event???
A mentally disturbed individual walks into a gunstore, legally buys weapons, walks into a theater, a beauty parlor, a high school, a university, an office building, a factory, a fast food joint etc. etc. and shoots to death 3-5-10-12-15-20-30 (pick the number that suits you best) innocent victims and wounds 10-15-30-50 other people
Everyone knows very well that nothing will be done to try to make sure this doesn't happen again. Everyone knows that this tragedy will play out again , and again and again...in the same way, under similar circumstances...next week or next month.
Like stubborn people who refuse to take precautions, who refuse to learn lessons, who continue to make the same stupid mistakes over and over and over again.... We are just showing the rest of the world that we are incapable of learning basic lessons access to guns by mentally disturbed individuals...lessons that the rest of the civilized world learned a long time ago.
to bobnjersey: you are so right. he was pretty much left to his own devices. available money did keep him there longer than he probably should have been and he couldn't handle failure, not finding a job that matched his college level training, and suddenly out of money--having to repay probably at least $500 per month he didn't have. still, he chose to do what he did; he was the ultimate person not standing out who wanted fame thru the major act he did.
Now if only there were a way for me to twist this story around in a way that promotes my own narrow-minded political agenda. Oh wait, all I have to do is just copy and paste from any random page of the user comments.

americanusa July 21, 2012 4:31 PM EDT Joker? jokes on us. this shooter paid for his 6,000 rounds of ammunition using federal student financial aid: ------------------------------------------- yeah!!! I'll bet every student is planning the same thing so lets get rid of student financial aid completely heck while we are at it lets get rid of students completely. All they are is a bunch of commies. and all this whining about executing innocent people. We gotta make sure we get the guilty one....right??? bla bla bla, yada yada, garbage garbage...........
We've been told (and we believe everything we're told) that universities are just basically left-wing indoctrination camps.
And if people are actually allowed to go to university (where they are taught critical thinking skills) they might end up able to think for themselves. Can't have that.
you have some good ideas. yeah, let's get rid of financial aid. students coming out with $50,000-$100,000 in debt and can't find a job, not even at mcdonalds'. heck, just give each high school graduate a $10,000 grant to buy a mobile home, piece of land, and start a garden. point is: unless is daddy gave him the money, he did pay for it with money from student aid. obviously you are not a college grad cause you couldn't even get your grammar and punctuation correct.
It's just impossible for me to understand why someone would make the choices and decisions this young man has made.
People don't want to believe that there's a future in heaven or hell, and we will need to explain ourselves to God someday. But not wanting to believe it, doesn't mean it's not true.
I keep thinking that video games are a huge reason behind the violence in the past 20 years. Kids grow up learning to shoot hundreds and thousands of people a day, for their entire childhood. When are we going to figure out that this is really sick?

Agreed.
And it's appalling that someone with the name "americanusa" would stoop to such sickening accusations without first showing the receipt.
We've been told (and we believe everything we're told) that universities are just basically left-wing indoctrination camps.

Not all atheists are charming beacons of reformed dignity, either...
