[quote:Anonymous Coward 1518966:MV8xOTMwNjU1XzMyMzQ1NDEwXzI1QThGNjU0] That's quite a stretch. Would be more willing to buy the un treaty scheduled for next week. [/quote]

I do not believe that the individual chose to murder those individual's because he was a low-life OWS supporter(not that I doubt that they are capable of such actions); instead, I believe that the shooting was part of a viral marketing campaign. While this may sound crazy, please take a couple of minutes to ponder this post.
Do I believe that individuals died as a result of this individual's actions? Yes I do, but I think that the shooting was planned so that Warner Brothers could receive more press concerning the new Batman film. If Warner Brothers could some how create a sense of urgency in the general public that would cause them to see the film, then they could make more money from the film than they would have been able to had they not carried out 'the plan.'
Warner Brothers was considering pulling the film from theaters, and what do you think the general populace would do in response to this news? They would flock to the theaters hoping that they could see the unedited version of the film---they want to see and attempt to understand what caused Holmes to go on a shooting spree.
Now we see that Warner Brothers has changed course and will now allow moviegoers to see the film as it was originally produced:
"The Dark Knight Rises" will play in theaters as scheduled, as Warner Bros. has decided not to cancel any screenings of the film after a shooting early Friday morning that claimed 12 lives and left 59 wounded.
The massacre at the Aurora, Colo., Century 16 theater is among the largest mass shootings in U.S. history.
