The information regarding James Holmes, the Colorado movie theatre killer, is coming to light and it is not good news for the left.
Unlike the report from ABC’s Brian Ross, that Holmes may have been a Tea Party member, I’m hearing a totally different story.
It’s been reported Holmes received a grant to attend the University of Colorado to study neuroscience. I don’t believe that has been 100% confirmed. I have heard from anonymous sources that James Holmes actually received a grant under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act for the study of solar energy and algae fuel. This is unconfirmed.
An unconfirmed source has said the items for construction of his sophisticated apartment booby traps were purchased off the internet from a website owned and run by a son of Harry Reid.
Reports of the identity and affiliations of James Holmes keep pouring in.
One report of the killer’s facebook page is that he was a lifetime member of the Sierra Club and his favorite network seems to be MSNBC. His rage is said to be directly attributable to his love of Bill Maher, but that is yet to be corroborated.
An interesting report that may have significance has just come in. It is possible that Holmes may have purchased some of his weapons or ammunition from a Mexican Drug Cartel. When asked where they obtained their weapons, an anonymous source from the Cartel mentioned something about Fast & Furious, but we don’t know if that term is some sort of Gang-Speak or what. We’ll have to look into that term.
Of course, all that I just reported is pure crap. If you believed any of it, you’re an idiot. I’m not making light of this tragedy, but as Rush says, it’s demonstrating absurdity by being absurd.
The point of this was to show how dimwitted conjecture and agenda driven reporting can just inflame a situation and, in the case of the other Jim Holmes, the real Tea Party member outed by that dope Ross, can cause real harm to an innocent man who just happened to be unlucky enough to have the same name. That poor sap had received multiple death threats shortly after being outed.
This isn’t a right or left issue. It’s wasn’t a political event. It was an ultra-evil dude that did this. He didn’t just snap either. This event took time to plan, purchase the weapons and body armor, construct the booby traps, plan his entry into the theatre, etc.
I don’t know, nor do I care whether Holmes was liberal or conservative. He’s just evil.
If something like this happens again, and I hate to say it probably will, let’s just stick with the facts. If we don’t know the facts, may we keeps our mouths shut until we do.
Pray for the victims families and honor a hero, Navyman, 26-year-old Jon Blunk, who sacrificed himself to shield his girlfriend, Jansen Young. While Holmes walked up and down the aisles shooting, Young said her boyfriend was a constant presence, pushing her further under the seats and out of the line of fire. Finally, as the shots slowed, she crawled out and attempted to pull up Blunk by the shoulder, but he didn’t move.
