Why the dramatics with gas mask, full body armor, tear gas, lol. I'm sorry...but this is some WHACKED OUT shiznit! lol hahahahahah It's like: a movie, within a movie. Oh, and to thicken the plot.....he rigged his house with explosives?
Am i really reading this stuff???
People, people, people.......this whole story........MAKES NO SENSE!!!!!!!!!
ETA: You should also know.....i don't watch t.v., so i'm only know what the members here are posting; and from what i'm reading.......this is soooooooooooooooooo STAGED!!!!! I'm not saying the victims isn't real....i'm just saying...the way this appears to have gone down.......MAKES NO SENSE!!!!!
To top it off: dude just surrenders to police? Well....let's see...he had a gas mask on so, no one saw his face, he dropped tear gas....to disorient people....started buckin' shots...then walked out the door and surrendered; and the cops didn't smoke his azz??? Dude could have easily blended in with the crowd...as they were frantically trying to get out.edit on 20-7-2012 by SpittinTruth because: (no reason given)

Notice this guy "assaults" a place where people are totally vulnerable and packed in like sardines? He didn't hit a police station full of armed police.
That is atypical of the type of person who has "lost all hope" and "blames everyone else" for all his problems. Then vows revenge (mostly to himself) and sets about "taking as many of them with him as possible".
That does have historical precedence. The difference here is that these tragedies mostly end with self inflicted shot by the maniac. He just walks outside? And submits to police?
New breed. No conscience. Enjoys it. Is that his mug shot after he was caught?

UNCONFIRMED OR FALSE STATEMENTS:
There are no confirmed reports of him dressed as the joker. Ray Kelly of the NYPD made this statement and it has yet to be confirmed. He is in New York.. Why would he know?

It is not his current mug shot. Police indicated they were not prepared to release that as of yet.

I've had an account for a while now,but rarely post.I do,however,need to post now.Has anyone thought that perhaps this,(as well as various other public displays of evil such as the Columbine incident ) was not orchestrated by a lone gunman/gunmen,but a larger part of a sleeper cell unit,so to speak ? Perhaps a long term plan of attack by those that wish to destroy the second amendment,and bring the populace under complete control ? Terror tactics by a government is nothing new...just a thought.

Why is this guy still alive? Mass shooter typically ends up dead, by own hand or by the authorities. They just found him hiding behind a car? I probably missed something in the thread...
I think it's because he surrendered and didn't fire at police, so they had no jcause to take him down.edit on 20-7-2012 by violet because: (no reason given)edit on 20-7-2012 by violet because: (no reason given)
No "just cause"????? Dude straight out MURDERED 12 people, injuring 59. And you say no "just cause". So then, what "cause" is "just" enough? Are you people feeling ok? Didn't a few days ago....cops kill an innocent man? Where was that JUSTice?
At this point, being "awake" has nothing to do with it. What's right is right, and what's wrong is wrong! Our sense of judgement seems to be a little distorted.
