The "Holmies," a group of James Holmes supporters, are using Tumblr and other social media to change the public's mood about the accused Dark Knight gunman.
There are now dozens of Tumblr and Facebook fan pages, offering encouraging words to the Batman shooter while he's in prison, and praising his despicable actions.
According to some Holmies, they pity the former PhD student because of his degraded mental state. Others identify with this lunatic, and urge people to write friendly letters to the accused killer.
According to Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson, inmate mail is inspected by staff, unless it is correspondence related to the defense.
Holmes is one of the most hated people in America right now, so it's a bit of shock that so many people are supporting him on Tumblr. But, most of the Holmies are probably teenagers, who are too immature to understand the gravity of what the former PhD candidate at the University of Colorado-Denver has done.
Sometimes the Internet resembles the Wild West, where there is an "anything goes" attitude. The James Holmes fan pages are ridiculously distasteful. After all, this is a man who is responsible for the massacre of 12 innocent people who were merely in the wrong place at the wrong time. But what's the alternative? Censorship?

He was spotted outside his car. He had more guns in there.
He was found by it and did not resist arrest.
He is an egomaniac.
Just think about all the other tragedies. Columbine, Virginia Tech. They killed themselves.
James LOVED what he did and wanted to see the aftermath.
James Holmes was seeing a psychiatrist and she alterted threat assessment team. They didn't do anything because he withdrew from the school. He purchased guns, amunition, and swat gear through his name. We will see everything is court.
It is a mistery on why he told the police about his apartment, but it could be because he got caught and he got scared(unlikely) or when he got caught he wanted to brag(more likely.) but we don't know what is in his mind.
We will know more soon.
If you guys think James Holmes is a "victim" then wow.
Here's a case from a couple of yrs ago - the Xmas tree bomber. http://abcnews.go.com/US/alleged-christmas-tree-bomber-mohamed-osman-mohamud-heads/story?id=12263201#.UB32MKMsGWg. The FBI plants a fake bomb then befriends this guy and dupes him into pressing the button to blow up the tree lighting ceremony and kill a bunch of people. Then the FBI walks away patting themselves on the back for having saved a lot of peoples lives in the nick of time and got a terrorist off the streets. I couldnt believe what I was reading! The FBI set the whole thing up then grabs some kid and dupes him into going along with them as though theyre a bunch of hooligans.
I doubt many people read the article - But they did see the headline and the broadcast on TV - sensationalizing a terrorist on the loose about to act. So, what happened to this guy. I never had a chance to follow it, or hear what he may have had to say about this incident. It was all swept away and forgotten - but the title and big bold headline remains in everybody's head. Objective achieved!
Yes, I hope you misses are right and we get a chance to follow this case. I hope they put the trial on TV and on the internet so we can follow how it unfolds. But since the judge has now put the case under locks to the public, it looks like the case is going to go the same way as the Xmas tree bomber - but everyone will remember the big bold sensationalized headlines and the original disinfo from the TV broadcasts, and their minds will have been made up for them. A big sensational brainwashing. And no one ever will know the truth of this matter or who went into that theatre and executed this plan. They'll just assume. These are the same things that went on in George Orwell's novel '1984.' Powerful people controlling the government and media pulling off terrorist attacks on their own citizens, sensationalizing it in the media, and then justifying more government security measures. In this case it's that 2nd gas mask laying out there way down at the other end of the back parking lot that grabs me. It just doesnt belong there. I hope to hear a logical explanation for it being there so far from everything else.
I'll leave you misses with neat cartoon - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQfRdl3GTw4 .
What it is, has been, and will be!

A woman who claims to have been housed just four cells down from the Aurora, Colo. theater shooting suspect says he is nothing like the subdued man who keeps appearing in court.
more use of media for demonizing - but again and again and again, nothing with any substance - and especially being reported on FOX news. FOX news??? owned by Rupert Murdoch??? You know the story on that hooligan. HA - 2 - zip, good guys.

Yeah right? thats real believable. woman held in the same medical ward as jimmy holmes for the weekend is going to walk right out and interview on FOX. and requests anonimity - HA! y'know why the anonimity - because she doesnt exist. Everybody is anonomous when it comes to systemic fabricating damning evidence. HA!
A random number of my friends knew this soon after the incident, but following up on this is something I have not been able to do.
His father also has had something to do with the scores that have employers and others are now searching regarding the credit on individuals.
Maybe somebody here will be better able to find more information on this.
