This was just in on CNN: The suspect in the killing of 12 people at a Colorado screening of the new Batman movie had colored his hair red and told police he was "the Joker," according to a federal law enforcement source with knowledge of the investigation. Police say James Holmes, 24, was dressed in protective gear and set off two devices of some kind before firing from an AR-15 rifle, a 12-gauge shotgun and at least one of two handguns recovered. A source said Holmes carried a magazine capable of holding more than 100 rounds and that his guns were purchased legally in the past six months.

The news media aren't feeding us things because they are aliens trying to show us what their studies suggest we want to hear...they are feeding us these things because they too are human. We eat it up for the same reason. "He was a fucking lunatic" is not too final...it's too random. We can't control it, we can't explain it. And worse, we can't prevent it from happening to US. We need a reason, even if it's a manufactured one. "Oh, he was going through a divorce....avoid taht, and i'll be safe at teh movies" "Oh, he played violent video games....avoid that, and i'll be alright" Basic human behavior. See it in the aftermath of every tragedy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:352926 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
