Colorado Movie Shooting

*MikeandRaph87* · 07-29-2012, 06:54 PM

I am a perserver of life,but I want that turd put to death for this! These victims are mostly around my age(most were 23-27) and I can relate to them in so many ways. If not I have a parent the same age as the eldest victim and is a mirroring of something my parent would do for/with me. It hurts me deep down despite never going anywhere near the state of Colorado in my lifetime at this point and not knowing any of the victims or even know someone who knew any of them.I am affected by this and I hope an article is wrong that said that the second line in an entry of Batman would be this shooting much like Watergate is to Richard Nixon. The fact that Bruce's parents were gunned down in the back alley of a theatre makes the whole tragedy that much more disturbing. As the upcoming journalist wrote that night in her blog before she was randomly killed, it makes me think of my own mortality. Live for the moment every day yet be cautious with life at the same time. I feel for them and pray for their peace of afterlife and their loved ones to move forward while honoring the fallen. The victims who were sparred be able to shake the hell they witnessed as well. Milehigh comics is donating 20% of all sales since Chuck's team is only a 20 mile drive from the theatre. So if you need a back issue I ask support the vicitms through Chuck and Milehighcomics within the next ten days or so. I apologize for this tangent but this has really touched my soul due to the ability to connect to the victims and my despise of that turd who killed and injured the innocents.

He's supposed to be formally charged today. I'm not sure if it'll be covered on TV, but if it is, I'm going to watch it on In Session.

I was just in Colorado over the past week visiting my cousin out in the mountains, and from what I saw on the news some good has come out of this tragedy. People are banding together to support one another. There was even a group of kids selling lemonade to raise funds for the survivors in the hospital.

It's always that, and I don't know if it's called antything, but there are people who prefer a lot of catastrophes around the world with many deaths, like school massacres, wars, earthquakes, boat and train accidents, not because they think it's fun, but since it brings the world togtether.

That's awesome, Jeph. It's good that people are coming together and giving their support.

Well, I read that it's most likely that Holmes will try an insanity defense. Predictions of insanity debates in this trial are being made.

News says that if the court refuses to hear insanity pleas, then Holmes could face the death penalty.

I knew if he tries to go for not guilty, he would try a "not guilty by mental disease or defect" defense.

Bullsh*t. They're saying he was schizophrenic. I'm a paranoid schizophrenic, contrary to what many say and hear it's usually a completely manageable disease even without medication. It doesn't, by itself, make a person "criminally insane" and start shooting people. Oh sure, you get thoughts like wouldn't it be somehow "justified" to make other people suffer the same slights and persecution you percieve yourself to have gone through, but it still takes a conscious decision and a will to act before you start hurting people.

I've had "bouts of rage" where I was provoked into getting into fistfights, putting my fist through walls or windows, and in that moment felt helpless as though I was watching someone else do them, and later had no memory of doing them, but that was 100% always in a situation of conflict where I was provoked. Many schizophrenic outbursts have an emotional "trigger" that leads directly to it.

I highly doubt anyone in that theater provoked this guy into what he did. To be found guilty of murder, by law, they need to prove the event was planned in advance and done on purpose, and there seems to be overwhelming evidence to that fact so far. He was NOT "insane". If anything, he was just a punk whose life wasn't going the way he wanted it to, and he decided to pull an "I'll Show Them ALL!" routine.

Waste of a trial. We know he did it, we don't need to know why. Execute him NOW and let justice be done.
