Westboro Baptist Church Threatens To 'Super Picket' Aurora Prayer Vigil For Batman Shooting Victims

This reminds me of something I saw (can't remember where). It said "Live your life so that Westboro wants to picket your funeral".

So you are saying just less than 2/3 of all homicides are committed WITH guns?

Explain the logic you are using when you are telling yourself that this isn't a gun issue.

Yeah 2/3 is pretty ing significant.

[Heath Ledger]

For the year 2009 Homicide rates were at their lowest since 1964.

Dude looks stoned. He has probably spent every minute since he was arrested in an interrogation room.

[leemajors]

he looks like someone who knows everyone in that prison would love to shank him.

[Darth_Pelican]

his attorney is like FML

[Heath Ledger]

He was dozing off in the court room, apparently hes on some pretty heavy meds

[this or that?]

He don't deserve any attention.

[Heath Ledger]

He doesn't deserve it but boy is he gonna get it.

^ are you doubting this? For the most part, it seems true.

[Clipper Nation]

Never mind

sorry...I was trying to refer to the post above yours but your post beat mine. I ended up adding the quote.

I agree with it. at its finest.

you don't see the difference between what the guy did at Batman and a Muslim suicide bomber? Or a black gangbanger?

From what's been released so far, it doesn't seem like he shot up the theater for some religious reason. Or for financial gain. Everything points to him being truly psychotic.

Could a religious fanatic be considered someone insane though? Religion exists everywhere, and it takes a special type of person to buy into religion to the extent they will kill over it (exceptions to this are kids who are brought up to think this way).

I think it a comment to people's initial reactions to white killers. See the dude who shot up people in Arizona and this guy. When they're mug shots came out, it wasn't "that thug" or "that terrorist," it was "that dude is psycho."





Maybe the minorities need to start smiling in their mugshots to get the same reaction

I'm not saying that there isn't something wrong with anyone that decides to go kill someone else. But I do think there is a huge difference between this guy and a Muslim suicide bomber. And the black gangbanger.

There's a reason that stereotypes become stereotypes.

What is the basis for your initial thought though? Did you initially feel the same about the dude in Norway who shot up the kid camp? And why is a Muslim guy willing to blow himself up not considered crazy? I think that's what he's aiming at.

If you're talking about the initial thoughts, then I agree with you. But most of the time, when a white guy kills a bunch of people, it's not for religious reasons. And I'm not aware of many cases of a black person doing something similar as far as a mass murder.

But for the most part, I think the media quickly gets past the stereotypes and pins the murderer down for what he is.

But I think my point is that the psychology between the three types of killers we're talking about it vastly different.

I get your point. I do think we need to start factoring in political reasons (seems to apply to the Arizona dude and the Norway dude) as another motivation for such acts.

What about soldiers (from any country, including ours) that kill?

They were also programmed/brainwashed to believe they were killing "for a good reason/cause."

Are they psychotic?

that photo you posted of Holmes is not his mugshot...

Nope. Psychotic/insane means isn't firing in the brain like it's supposed to. The Joker guy doesn't strike me as the insane type at first glance. I'm hoping we get some facts as to potential motivations soon.
