A San Diego woman identifying herself as James Holmes's mother spoke briefly with ABC News this morning.
She had awoken unaware of the news of the shooting and had not been contacted by authorities. She immediately expressed concern that her son may have been involved.
"You have the right person," she said.
"I need to call the police," she added. "I need to fly out to Colorado."

| Holy ****. I wonder if that means he had spoken of some sort of plans and she thought he wasn't serious, or if she just knows that he's mentally unstable. | |

Yet we dont tell them right from wrong
This world is going to hell in a handbasket and its our fault

| Wow. Why hadn't the mother said anything if she had those concerns. Sounds like he's mentioned something before maybe. | |

Sure, he may just walk into a mall and start shooting rather than dressing up like a super villain and throwing teargas. Either way, this kid was going to kill. | |

I'm more in agreement with Count. We've got more violent entertainment than ever before but it has little impact? Where were the deranged people in the 20s and 30s? Or 40s and 50s? |

Is it just a coincidence that the world has gotten more violent and morally corrupt or am I just imagining it?
Is it a coincidence that malls play certain types of music to influence a happy mood which tends to make shoppers spend more money?
Does certain smells or music trigger different emotions in human beings?
This is not made up BS.
It has an effect http://www.uwlax.edu/urc/JUR-online/...r&huda.PSY.pdf

Were you around to remember them? | |
