It doesn't have ANYTHING to do with him being a democrat or not, he was just bat crap crazy. Apparently the republa clowns like limbaugh don't have the corner on just plain nuts, but limbaugh did probably give him the idea with the Bane/Baine thing...as in limbaugh being the "bane" of our existence.

Feelin' all that Democrat love. Not a surprise that Democrats are the ones committing all this demented mass murder.

Not a coincidence. You think that's wierd ? Lil wayne released a music video with a scene at a movie theater with 12 dead people in it. Check it out on youtube "my homies still denver shooting connection"

Hey wait a minute look closely at that picture of him. That's not the same guy! His eyes are further apart, the mole is missing, that's a completely different nose. The jaw is slightly a different shape.. I smell patsy!!

If you dig deep enough in to comics you can find a lot of crimes that people have done in real life after the fact. He just needs to be tried and found gulty and put to death like he did all those peopl

What other motive does he have? He appears to have some long term drug abuse issue that had him living in Batman land. He wanted to be The Joker and become infamous. It appears in court that the drugs are wearing off and reality isn't nearly as fun. I'm not offering drugs or insanity as an excuse. He needs to pay for his evil deeds. It's just how he appears to me.

Interesting that the National Institute of Health financed this guy, and that he used our tax money to buy bullets. Also interesting that the NIH has been lobbying for gun control laws.

NO, but when you consider there's no more state funding to keep the Mental Hospitals open anymore, your gonna have whackjobs like this run a muck, at least he's going to jail where he can rot.

He is nuts and it was probably voices telling him to do it. He tried to get it to his psychiatrist in a notebook.

before or after the execution? Cause this guy is getting death row

He'll serve a life sentence before they execute him. Every deth row inmate has to. He'll probably get solitary. They won't put him in general pop.

The shooting had something to do with the movie, wheather or not it is that they look alike or not, only the shooter can say. I was an insane act and he is insane, because only an insane person would do such a horrible act.

Bonnie to Nora 2012/07/25 23:27:46

Insanity will not fly on this one. He knew what he was doing all the time he was preparing for this massacre

reply
Nora to Bonnie 2012/07/26 13:08:03

I did not mean for him to do what most killers do and that is plead insanity. I meant that anyone who can take lives without a care in the world is missing a link and has to be insane. I think he should get what he gave.

Why is it always necessary to find someone or something else to blame? The murdering jerk off idiot is fully responsible for his own actions. There are evil people in this world, and always have been. Understand that fact and take proper precautions.

According to UK tabloid, The Sun, the shooter was more enamored with a mass murderer from Europe who apparently journaled all of his thoughts before and after his reign of slaughter. This kid was born 2 years after this comic was published.

reply
Nora to Jean 2012/07/26 13:13:45

I hope you are not saying he considered the position of the Sun and Stars before he took people lives and shattered family lives. He was in the medical field and astrology isn't looked at as part of their teachings.

Blame Hollywood. better yet, blame the Military-Industrial Complex which is desperate to enslave us, bankrupt us and make us depend on them COMPLETELY. The 9-11 Lie was just the tip of the iceberg. Its going to get worse before it gets better and its just what we deserve by electing a foreigner fraud to the WH and the GOP is pushing a flip flopping puppet as his challenger even though Ron paul is worth a MILLION of those fakes. America is dead and its OUR fault.

Why has our govt lied about it repeatedly? Why did they confiscate film from a gas station across the street from the Pentagon? They only released FIVE FRAMES, NONE of which show a plane, and that was only after being SUBPOENAED. WHY CONFISCATE IT???? Its common knowledge, right? You are a born sucker if you believe the govt's lies.
