Off the mark





  

Punditry marches on, reliably missing the mark, or any relevant point whatever. 

"What were  families doing at the theater
at midnight with  6-year-olds, and 3-month olds?"

Yes, that is entirely the thing to focus on.

What we have is a guy who shot up a movie theater, killing a dozen people, and injuring dozens more. There is a continuum of thinking about the "Why" of it all, from loner loon who was flunking out and needing to  punish the world, to CIA-made Manchurian candidate MK-Ultra mind-control killing machine, turned loose to bring down the Second Amendment. The truth is likely somewhere between (though truthfully, I have frighteningly little problem shading toward the latter, given the Current Administration's propensities). The fact is, though, this is the guy wot done it. He should be the focus. He entered the place all kitted out in oh-so-slimming black gear. He pulled the trigger. He killed the people. He wounded the others. So, how about you focus your impotent ire on him.

...Unless of course he was not the actual person behind the gas mask.

I think if I see one more news report on how James Holmes was a "brilliant science student" (an obvious reason for being a mad dog killer) I may go crazy myself.

@ Michael W - Yes ... A "mad scientist" goes berserk.

@ Aardvark - "Conspiracy or no ... I find it interesting some have tried to blame a "Tea Party member" so soon after. Could it be a "false flag" op came off a little too early? Just sayin'.

The timing is interesting.
The successful planning & execution moreso.
The rug that really ties the room together as The Dude would say is the rather obvious training & financing/supplying that was involved:
How does a college student who can't keep a job get all that sophisticated militarized police gear and the know-how to pull it off?
Unless, like you said, he's a patsy, and Holder's goons are back home laughing their butts off as this "white devil" takes the fall!

The UN Small Arms Treaty comes up for vote in Congress in two weeks. O'bama says he will sign it regardless. This will start hammering nails in the 2nd Amendment's coffin. What better impetus than A TRAGIC SHOOTING!

@Jay- False flag is truly probable.

@G-i-T-B - Yes, yes, and yes. I suspect that it may go deeper than Holder.
And, Galt, I don't roll on Shabbos.

@Michael- What better reason? (I think he may be on the receiving end of the science.)
