(NaturalNews) James Holmes, the Aurora, Colorado shooter who reportedly opened fire at a Batman movie premiere, was a medical student at the University of Colorado, pursuing a PhD in neuroscience, reports ABC News. (http://abcnews.go.com/US/mass-shooting-colorado-movie-theater-14-peop...)
As part of the attack, Holmes painted his hair red and referred to himself as "The Joker," one of the arch enemies in the DC Comics-inspired Batman movie series. (http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2012/07/20/police-14-dead-in-colorado-the...)
According to news reports, this sudden violent rampage was completely out of character for James Holmes, who was described as "shy."
The New York Times is now reporting:
Billy Kromka, a pre-med student at the University of Colorado, Boulder, worked with Mr. Holmes for three months last summer as a research assistant in a lab of at the Anschutz Medical Campus. Mr. Kromka said he was surprised to learn Mr. Holmes was the shooting suspect. "It was just shocking, because there was no way I thought he could have the capacity to do commit an atrocity like this," he said. (http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/21/us/colorado-mall-shooting.html?page...)
"He spent much of his time immersed in the computer, often participating in role-playing online games..."
There is already conjecture that James Holmes may have been involved in mind-altering neuroscience research and ended up becoming involved at a depth he never anticipated. His actions clearly show a strange detachment from reality, indicating he was not in his right mind. That can only typically be accomplished through drugs, hypnosis or trauma (and sometimes all three).

ReplyDeleteAll my family, grandchildren, sons, daughter, wife, son-in-law, and daughter-in-law were within two miles of the shooter's apartment and the theater. Not just a news story to us.

ReplyDeleteThe author of the article - you might note - thinks some ballistic-gear cost "20,000 dollars" and that 6k rounds of ammo "that's another five-grand right there!"
ReplyDeleteThen there's the "not just anybody can get ballistic helmets or body-armor" - he's right, you have to be "somebody" with a couple hundred bucks and access to Amazon!
Bottom line: if he gets such simple things wrong, how can I trust him on the other stuff?
True, but you did notice it was from Natural News.:) The articles I have read from them are good, but I guess they aren't into guns.:)
ReplyDeleteWhere on Amazon does one buy tear gas? Is Craig's List full of ads for tear gas grenades / canisters????
