Not med school, but apparently he was pursuing a doctorate in neuroscience. Ironic.

Really?

Thanks for the correction.

Here is some more info on that supposed 9gag posting - http://www.blottr.com/breaking-news/...r-9gag-website

One user posted "A few weeks ago, a man by the username of ‘JamesHolmes154' posted a thread on 9gag saying he was going to ‘shoot up’ a theater. He was clearly distressed and admitted he was suffering from PTSD. He said he was going to walk in and try to take as much lifes as possible. The whole 9gag community egged him on and give him tips on what to wear, etc. They give him tips on sharp-shooting and sent him messages on how to take as much lifes as possible."

PTSD? Potential ex-military?

The morons on CNN: "He was wearing a gas mask! Durr, of course he was dressed like Bane!"

No s**t. What mass murderer in their right mind - so to speak - would use gas-based weaponry without a gas mask?

What mass murderer is in his right mind at all?

Still, if this has anything at all to do with Bane or Bain I'd be very surprised. Crazy people sometimes do crazy things.
 
As earlier noted, no less than George Stephanopoulis, this morning on national TV, was beside himself to broadcast "breaking news" that JIm Holmes may have been an active Tea Party member.

Now this:

Editor's Note: An earlier ABC News broadcast report suggested that a Jim Holmes of a Colorado Tea Party organization might be the suspect, but that report was incorrect. ABC News and Brian Ross apologize for the mistake, and for disseminating that information before it was properly vetted.A California woman who identified herself as the mother of James Holmes, the 24-year-old man federal authorities said is the suspect in a mass shooting in an Aurora, Colorado movie theater, told ABC News her son was likely the alleged culprit, saying, "You have the right person."The woman, contacted at her home in San Diego, spoke briefly with ABC News and immediately expressed concern her son may be involved in the shooting death of at least 12 people overnight."You have the right person," she said, apparently speaking on gut instinct. "I need to call the police... I need to fly out to Colorado."

The stupidity starts at the top of the liberal media. We predicted this level of media stupidity, by the major alphabet networks, as soon as this story broke. Stephanopoulis was the first to orgasm.

So when did you stop beating your wife George ?

Edit in: ABC has now scrubbed the link. Jackasses can't do anything right while in such a sex-fueled frenzy.

Treatment for PTSD:

Currently, the evidence base is strongest for the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). The only two FDA approved medications for the treatment of PTSD are sertraline (Zoloft) and paroxetine (Paxil) (1, 2). All other medication uses are off label, though there are differing levels of evidence supporting their use. This is especially true for fluoxetine (Prozac) and venlafaxine (Effexor) which are considered first-line treatments in the VA/DoD Clinical Practice Guideline for PTSD. There are a number of biological changes which have been associated with PTSD, and medications can be used to modify the resultant PTSD symptoms. Veterans whose PTSD symptoms have been present for many years pose a special challenge. Studies indicate they are more refractory to the beneficial effects of medications for PTSD symptoms (3).

It wasn't just the 'liberal media' that rushed to play the blame game:

UPDATE Occupy Black Bloc Member James E. Holmes Shoots Up Aurora Co Movie Theater Killing 12 And Wounding 50. « Cheaters PI Bill Warner Call 941-926-1926

James Holmes, DOB 12/13/1987: The Batman movie portrays the OWS crowd in a negative vein,the new Batman movie featured the villain as an Occupy Wall Street type. I would first look at the possibility that James Holmes, DOB 12/13/1987, was caught up in the OWS movement took it upon himself to strike back against “THE MAN.

were there any warning signs of him losing it at school or elsewhere?

Im confident we will find out during the following days, that there were many signs and even statements of impending violence, that were simply disregarded by folks who could have stopped him or reported him..and saved many lives.

There is no shortage of stupidity:

WASHINGTON -- Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) said Friday that the shootings that took place in an Aurora, Colo. movie theater hours earlier were a result of "ongoing attacks on Judeo-Christian beliefs" and questioned why nobody else in the theater had a gun to take down the shooter.

Apparently Holmes' mother is very involved in the family's local church....

You link to some BS blog by some whacko private investigator, and compare that to ABC News ?

And then talk about my 'high horse". Seems your horse's ass would be far more appropriate.

What a puke.

That 'private investigator' has been a media consultant. He was on CNN this morning.

You are not a martyr.

The same PI who was on CNN an hour and a half ago as a "law enforcement expert".

The media politicized it when they assumed a political motive in the first place. But I'm tired of the self-victimization from certain quarters who see media sensationalism as a plot to turn them into martyrs, or to crucify them for their ideology. You are not a victim.

There are going to be kook jackasses coming out of the woodwork on this. But we do not expect, much less endorse, that some of our leading national talking heads are the one's doing it.

Suffice it to say that Good Morning America is expected to be more responsible, at least with a few of us. Is that over your head ?

So is it worse if Stephanopolous gives vent to his biases, or if CNN brings in a conservative PI from Florida to do it for them?

Sensationalism is one thing. Some systemic bias to crucify you is quite another. Again I say: come down off that cross.

Hindsight is always 20/20. Nobody ever thinks that some guy they know is going to walk into a theater and shoot as many people as he can. It's one of those things that's just too "out there" to believe until it happens, even after so many prior spree killers. I think instead of throwing this one away like the others, we need to actually study him, and get a better look into the psychology of spree killers so warning signs can be discovered. I'll bet they aren't obvious at all to someone who doesn't know what to look for.

OK . . .

Is CNN "conservative" now?

What did the CNN anchors say about it?

News programs have kook guests on all the time. It's not the same as one of their own -- a high-up one of their own -- saying it.

If you want to be taken seriously in your demand for balance, find a way to practice it yourself.

He said exactly what I just said he said: that the police need to "take a hard look at these groups" like Occupy Wall Street, and that he wouldn't be surprised if some connection later came out "in the wash". The overly-tanned and under-educated commentator nodded her empty head and smiled.

CNN isn't conservative because none of the media outlets have any motivation beyond 'ratings' and 'money'. The right-wing martyr complex is one of the main reasons I stopped being right-wing.
