It's too damned bad someone in the audience didn't have their own gun. That would have saved a lot of lives, saved taxpayers a lot of money, and put an end to that nutcase.

Sounds like the killer was expecting a shootout since he was kitted out in a bulletproof vest and other gear.

Yeah I was surprised to hear the he surrendered so easily to the police.  It seemed like he was ready to make a stand before being arrested.  For the officers involved I am glad he didn't.

It sounds like his rifle jammed.  If that is the case, then he may not had a weapon to use for a shootout with the police.

Often in cases like this the perpetrator is killed or kills himself. In this case he was captured alive and unharmed. I hope he does not put up a legal fight for the sake of the families left behind but I do have a morbid curiosity as to what makes this guy tick. He's obviously not  a stupid person.

....Better screening for mental illness prior to gun purchase would also be a good thing.

That would mainly cause upright citizens in our society to jump through more hoops. It would not prevent killers from getting guns.

My money is on some warning signs that folks around him missed/ignored.
Up until he pulled the trigger he did not break any laws. That means no-one would really be able to do anything. Only after the fact people can piece together some clues. Unfortunately if we want to live in a free society we need to be able put up we outrages commited by individuals. We need to wait for more info on this to make judgments.

Too bad that this type of killer doesn't just start out with themselves!

On the anniversary of the Norway shooter this guy in plastered all over the news with neon red hair. F him and F the news for giving him what he wants. The lawyers are saying it may take a year to get to trial. All these groups want to feed of their creation. They are the enemy as much as him.

I can't figure out if James Holmes was putting on his delirium today in the court or if he really is as insane as he looks. I'm leaning towards a put-on for now.

Meh.
Double Meh  ... i liked him in the role of George much more  ::)

Why doesn't he speaks about the real problem. The society kills ppl (turns ppl into maniacs on a misson, criminals, lunatics, ...)
In the Swiss there were fullauto assault rifles in many households  (i bet our friend Keunert can tell us the exact percentage)
The number of Swiss ppl killed is not significant different from countries with very strict gun-laws.
(with the exception of those guns used in suicide or jealousy crimes, just because they were handy, instead of a rope/sleeping pills, or a simple kitchen knife, but the overall number of suicides and jealousy crimes was not enlarged, just the chosen method)
qed.
There must be something wrong with the US society in comparison to the Swiss society?   and its not the guns.
