Knee Jerks: There’s Nothing The Left Won’t Exploit

After he booby-trapped his apartment with explosives, James Holmes walked into a theater Friday night and opened fire on a crowd waiting to see the first showing of the new Batman movie. He shot scores and murdered a dozen. Holmes acted for reasons unknown, but his actions were pure evil.

His actions also were his alone.

It doesn’t matter if he was bullied as a kid, recently dumped or whatever else anyone comes up with as a possible motive. Nothing “caused” him to do this other than whatever evil lives inside him.

But that hasn’t stopped many progressive liberals in and out of the media from speculating wildly, and seemingly hopefully, as to his motives and his political affiliation. It hasn’t stopped them from using this event as a platform to score political points on the issue of gun control. It’s sickening … and typical.

It's very tragic that this happened. Crazy people don't need a reason to do insane things. This is being used as a reason for more gun control. Then only the crazys will have guns not law abiding citizens. If there had been even one other armed person in that theater they may have been able to stop him before so many were killed and injured.

I doubt he acted alone. Someone trained him and enabled him.

It hasn't been suggested Holmes is crazy. I doubt he ever will be accused of being crazy or insane.

He was an intelligent individual. He planned this for months. He may have issues but, he knew what he was doing.


Someone trained and enabled him?!

Isn't it your turn to look out for UFO's?
