Colorado Massacre Suspect JAMES HOLMES Reportedly Took Drugs Before Shooting Rampage
Colorado massacre suspect JAMES HOLMES reportedly took drugs a few hours before the shooting rampage yesterday.
We all figured, didn’t we?
Shedding some light into the mass shooting in Colorado–where a “The Dark Night Rises” midnight screening was held–is a new update that the suspect, James Holmes, took some drugs before heading to the theater with loaded guns.
According to KMGH TV in Denver, James took 100 mg of Vicodin late Thursday night—just two-and-a-half hours before he killed 12 people and injured about 38.
Meanwhile, one of his neighbors told the New York Post that James was quite the druggie, too. He revealed:
“[I used to] see him smoking weed behind the apartment.”
The man added:
“Nobody ever really talked to him. He was alone a lot.”
Just… scary.
Holmes is still in custody and is scheduled to be arraigned Monday morning.
Do you think Holmes did those things just because he was drugged or did he really intend to kill a lot of people?

James Holmes, the alleged "Joker" gunman, described his fascination with altered states of mind in a lecture to other students, and dosed up on prescription medication before the atrocity, it emerged on Sunday.
The first video footage of the suspect showed him as an awkward, nervous 18-year-old giving a talk at a science summer camp in San Diego on "temporal illusions". It also emerged that in the days before the attack, Holmes, a cannabis smoker, joined a dating website seeking women for "sexy times" and also tried to join a gun club.
The University of Colorado said it was investigating whether he used his position as a neuroscience PhD student to order materials that he used to booby-trap his apartment.
Holmes, 24, is accused of shooting dead 12 people and injuring 58 in the rampage during a premiere of Batman film The Dark Knight Rises in Aurora, Colorado. Police said the death toll could have been even higher because a semi-automatic AR-15 assault rifle jammed during the attack, forcing the gunman to use a less powerful weapon.

After the massacre Holmes calmly told detectives he had taken 100mg of the prescription painkiller Vicodin, and identified himself as "The Joker". The same drug was found in the system of actor Heath Ledger when he died of an accidental overdose of prescription drugs in 2008. Ledger played The Joker in the previous Batman film The Dark Knight. Vicodin side-effects can include euphoria, paranoia and, in rare cases, hallucinations.
None of these have anything to do with this case and why this guy went off the deep end.
While Vicodin may not be a common mind altering drug, Holmes did study mind-altering states and according to an article I read, hallucinations from Vicodin are not unheard of.
Here's an excerpt from that: "Vicodin side-effects can include euphoria, paranoia and, in rare cases, hallucinations, according to an article in the Telegraph."

Here's another article, describing Holmes as being on 'hard-core pharmaceutical drugs', for anyone that interested:
