Feo Amante July 20, 2012 Report

FeoNote: I'm not posting the killer's face. It's easy enough to find, but I won't contribute to his "fame".

Barack H. Obama and Mitt Romney have both cancelled their campaigning for the day. That is a decent response. I hope they both keep to it and not douchebag politicize this.

The Dark Knight ReturnsColorado Batman Movie Shooting Suspect James Holmes Was PhD Student
The suspected "lone-wolf" shooter of the Batman movie theater massacre in Aurora, Colo., earlier today has been identified as Ph.D. student James Holmes, who recently withdrew from his neuroscience studies at the University of Colorado before shooting up "The Dark Knight Rises" screening.

Shooting suspect James Holmes called a loner who emulated the Joker; his mother says, 'You have the right person'
XXX, the suspect in custody for shooting dozens of people at a "Batman" movie in Colorado, was described as a reclusive loner who at one point painted his hair red and called himself "the Joker."
Holmes' mother, reached on the phone by ABC News on Friday morning in San Diego, said, "You have the right person. I need to call the police. I need to fly to Colorado."

Batman cinema shooting: Under the radar, the easy-going PhD student with no friends
XXX, 24, is alleged to have walked into theatre number nine of the Century 16 cinema in Aurora, Colorado, during a midnight screening of The Dark Knight Rises and opened fire on the audience, using four different weapons to murder a dozen people.

Colorado Shooting Recalls History of Theater Violence
Sean Worrell, 20, was shot and killed when a gunman opened fire after the opening credits of a "Batman" movie on the film's opening day.

But he didn't die this morning in Colorado. He died more than two decades ago at New York City's Whitestone Cinema, where a shooting took place at a "Batman" premiere in 1989.

Comic book industry reacts to Aurora, Colorado, shooting
The comic-book community, a normally peaceful group with like-minded folks from creators to readers, is reeling today with the news of the movie-theater tragedy in Aurora, Colo.

On the other hand -

The birth of a new crazed killer is quickly followed by the afterbirth. The afterbirth I'm referring to are those filth-ridden parasites who hold to this specific mindset: "Never let a crisis go to waste".

Where others see only brutal senseless murder, these ... things... see opportunity for personal gain. We saw this explotative filth in Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks of 2001.

We saw it again in the likes of Keith Olberman and the rest of his ilk in the aftermath of the Gabby Giffords shooting, as he and so many other alleged journalists saw their "Ace in the Hole" and immediately went after all of the familiar targets of their bigotry.

To no one's surprise, of course their targets turned out to be their usual suspects.

Congressman Gohmert says Colorado Shooting Linked to Attacks on Christianity
Texas Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert told radio host Ernest Istook, a former Oklahoma congressman, that the Colorado theater shooting could be directly linked to "ongoing attacks on Judeo-Christian beliefs."

Michael Bloomberg, NYC Mayor, Reacts To Colorado Shooting
No matter where you stand on the Second Amendment, no matter where you stand on guns, we have a right to hear from both of them concretely, not just in generalities – specifically what are they going to do about guns? I can tell you what we do here in New York. The State Legislature passed the toughest gun laws – some states may say no.
