You're just letting your emotions dictate what you think would be the best course of action. Never a wise thing in a case like this. You may be absolutely right that this guy doesn't have any bombs or booby traps but that is based on nothing more than your own speculation from very incomplete information. For all we know this guy could be a member of a larger terror cell. Taking precautions, like questioning the guy, sending in the bomb squad, are reasonable given he just killed a dozen people and injured 50 more.
Racial observations are only allowed in none-white discussions see the 300 in Walmart thread Goto the D&D and see the DEAR BLACK VOTERS thread Anyway This is a terrible tragedy I figure they guy might have a 'manifesto' somewhere in the apt Something to try to explain his nuttiness Rocket River
This. It wouldn't surprise me if he even drove up to the back of the theater on the way back in. Did they locate his car, if he had one? I dont think i've read anything about that.
lee harvey oswald was an attention w****, and here we are 50 years later still talking about him. This is the ultimate form of attention. Famous for being famous has somehow become 'cool' You will be able to buy the dudes gas mask on ebay next week and all the sickos will latch on to this turd like they did that guy that ate someone in toronto. it goes back to idolizing for garbage reasons. Im okay with someone propping up a justin bieber because he at least sings. But folks going nuts for people famous because they are famous or infamous is the core of the issue. If that can stop, much of this would slow down. Unfortunately there will always be those attention whores. sad. RIP
LOL. Police are over paid and useless. Always over reacting after the damages already been done. Parents should be allow to sue with this stupid Colorado Gun Laws.
Entirely possible. Reports I saw stated that his car was found real close to the theater.....again unsubstantiated at this point.
http://www.denverpost.com/breakingn...tment-suspected-gunman-deadly-aurora-shooting A pharmacy student who also 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," Ben said Read more: Authorities: Aurora theater shooting suspect's apartment "booby trapped" - The Denver Post http://www.denverpost.com/breakingn...d-gunman-deadly-aurora-shooting#ixzz21BO1D26o Read The Denver Post's Terms of Use of its content: http://www.denverpost.com/termsofuse
No because unlike you, I know I can't see what's in an apartment located in Denver from my office here in Houston.
Actually, such statements are now pretty inflammatory wherever they crop up, for any color, and that's probably a good thing if you ask me. Sure there are some virulently racist posters around here; I don't even visit their threads so I can't vouch for what you may have seen there, but I'm sure some more decent folks were shouting them down, as usual. As for white people (white men really) as true genuine, homicidal crazy, I do think my skin color takes the cake overall. Serial killers, mass killings... we seem to have the all-star team. This guy's mugshot just screams crazy -- it's in his eyes. But then big organizational atrocities are pretty color-blind, from Rwanda to Cambodia to the Holocaust. Too many to list. Totally separate point, but... working at a university... you run across a lot of unusually disturbed young people, but there's no good way to raise an alert about them. Early adulthood is a time when a lot of serious mental disorders show up, but I think we lack a good way to deal with this at an early stage. There are so many rules in place about what you can relay to parents and what you can or cannot say to a student. And as always in US America, the worry of a big lawsuit keeps many otherwise good and prudent ideas at bay. (e.g. This kid is showing worrisome signs; I want to remove him from classes and have his head examined. Forget that.)
thread doesn't need to be about CaseyH, though I'm sure he enjoys that. on topic, I wish we could use the very detailed existing profiles of violent shooters and justification to examine and interview certain people. This relates to my post about some young people you encounter at universities. Okay, maybe only one in 10,000 of these kids who become incredible antisocial and delusional end up doing something this horrific, but would it violate their rights to have a mandatory sit-down or three with a trained forensic psychologist? I dunno. Maybe it's just way too easy for these kinds of guys to slip by under the radar. Or maybe there's just too many of them to keep track of anyway.
The killer has red hair, he was the joker. Gets caught on purpose then sends them to a boobie trapped building.
Guns don't kill people. Crazy white people kill people. Non-white people will say "and they think we're a violent race" and then white people will point out the Asian kid at Va Tech or the DC Sniper. We'll argue about gun laws. Republicans will be blamed for their gun toting ways, somebody will blame their parents who let them watch Rambo and play Call of Duty. Society will blamed, and that will certainly be justified. But in the end, we all bleed just the same.
