Dont know why he is still been kept alive by the tax payer….gas chamber now..pls thank you..

Because its called due process? He has to be proven guilty first.

I don’t think his memory counts.
It is all the survivors and people who have lost loved ones that will never forget.
No doubt.
Someone will jog his memory with the most severe consequences.

Kinder childrens eggs are banned in the U.S. because they are supposed to be dangerous for kids yet you can enter Walmart and buy a semi automatic pistol or rifle once you got valid I.D

Psychiatric CIA or FBI mind control is the only known method of making a man perform so horrendously. No one who’s not had their mind altered would do this. Just not possible. I’ve no sympathy for him however.

guns sales spiked as locals fear new legislation would be drafter restricting gun ownership,its happened before when other shootings have taken place…

I suffer from a mental illness. If in this case its being spoken of, then i would wish for some proof.

Excellent point. It’s absurd but predictable, the number of comments/articles claiming Holmes is evil/should be gassed/lacks the humanity common to the rest of us.

It’s similar to the initial reaction to Breivik. Public opinion won’t consider that a human being, who was probably at some point quite ‘normal’, committed these crimes.

I think if we were to put more effort into understanding mental health we could reduce these types of cases eventually.

I don’t mean to take commenters too seriously, but every article about this kind of crime is full of people saying “Death penalty/castrate him/etc”. Try to think things through a little more. This isn’t FOX News. You can’t just have an immediate emotional reaction and then kill a guy. Then you’re no better than a Holmes, or a Breivik.

My point and sentiments exactly Stephen.

Stupid comment, did you read the papers that day he shot random people he’s milking the mental issue

I’ve been saying this all along. The FBI BSU would not be what it is today if it wasn’t for the ability of Douglas, Ressler and Hazelwood to interview violent offenders. The death penalty is a great revenge but a dead man can’t help catch or stop other offenders.

Thank you brian

bet ya he killed jfk aswell…

As a matter of fact brainwashing by the us government is well documented. This guy just doesn’t strike me as a natural born killer. Certainly not to the scale of this massacre.

I’ll get me tinfoil hat.

John, make that two tinfoil hats! Im thinking the exact same! This doesnt add up!

I dont have any reason to believe him either but I also dont have reason to doubt him. It does not matter if he is insane or not the masses speak the same as the majority on here. Are you telling me people with mentall illness dont kill. None of you including those stating they have mental health issues know anything about mental health. Ask yourselves should he be executed if he is unwell.

People with mental health issues don’t know anything about mental health? Did you really just write that? I think people WITH mental health issues know more about it than anyone else on here and who are you to say otherwise? I find that quite offensive, I have lost people who suffered from mental health issues to suicide and they certainly knew all about their illnesses. Obviously this degenerate is not right in the head but the vast majority of people suffering from a MH issue do not commit mass murder and then do nothing to themselves.

So in your expert opinion People with MH issues do not kill. You need to do your research. Also I asked you if this guy has MH issues should he be executed?

I never once said that people with MH issues don’t ever kill. Obviously there is something not right if a person commits certain crimes. This guy meticulously planned a mass execution, a potential explosion and never once claimed he “didn’t remember” until he realised that he wasn’t enjoying prison life all that much. I do know that people who genuinely suffer from MH issues tend to commit frenzied attacks, not plan something out as well as he did. That takes great presence of mind and would suggest otherwise. I’m sure if he genuinely suffers from MH problems, he will have the proof to back it up….like a psychiatrist or prescriptions for his “issues”. The biggest tragedy of all would be if this guy didn’t spend the rest of his life in prison. Or IF you are right, a mental health unit within a prison….for the rest of his life. Either way, he is a menace to society.

A menace to society. People that commit suicide believe they are a,burden to society. I rest my case. Ireland does not understand mental health. ITs not just services its attitudes & the comments here confirm that.

Andrea, how do you know that he hasn’t been claiming memory loss since the incident first happened?
And you might be interested to learn that it has now emerged that he was being treated for schizophrenia prior to this event.
But I’m sure you know best….

1, he didn’t commit or attempt to commit suicide so I don’t know why you keep bringing suicide into it.
2, I did read that he was recently seeing a psychiatrist in his college who specialised in Schizophrenia. Does that really change anything? He didn’t act in an irrational scattered manner, quite the opposite in fact.

Oh dear Andrea, I agree with your position on many issues on the Journal, but I think your perception of psychiatric illness is misguided.

I am assuming your comment about suicide was directed at Mjhint, since I never mentioned it, but that post is your third one to bring up the subject. Since you did, there is a big difference between the common perception of ‘mental health’ issues such as depression, anxiety etc. and the vast spectrum of other psychiatric conditions which people can suffer from. Psychiatric illness is just that – an illness. Just because there are no physical symptoms does not mean that it is not a genuine illness.

Your perception seems to be that someone with a psychiatric illness has to be:
a) Personally suffering in some way, and
b) Somehow incapable of funtioning at higher levels of thinking/planning etc..

The reality however is that many people with psychiatric illness are quite happy within their own skin and are not necessarily ‘suffering’ in the way you describe it.

In addition, they can be absolutely capable of meticulous planning and attention to fine detail. The question is not “Is someone suffering from a genuine psychiatric condition capable of meticulously planning and carrying out mass murder?”, it is “Why does a psychiatric patient plan and carry out mass murder? What thought processes led them down such a deadly path? etc..”

Creamy, what are you smoking?

@john haha i do love a good conspiracy yarn.if the govt where controlling his mind,causing him to commit the murders,then what would their motive to do so be?

Their motive..the US treaty regarding arming civilians is soon coming up. Wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if higher powers were behind this massacre.

Not another bloody conspiracy theory!

No I’m sure he dropped out of his first year of studies before completing exams from what I read in an other article.

Manchurian candidate. Attempting to change the publics mind about owning guns.
