[quote:hey mikki:MV8xOTMxMzA1XzMyMzg1OTQ2XzQ4RjZEQkEx] Well, I bet this person is sitting in his cell right now justifying his actions. This is a standard for all sociopaths and also most of us when we do horrible things – something or someone else must be to blame for what I’ve done and this blame extends to many things (This is why a lot of criminals when caught find god, because the devil made me do it). As for an answer as to why he did what he did? I think it is what drives all criminals – a need for attention and a distorted way of achieving it. One thing’s for sure, he has no real control over what inhibits violent actions when left to his own devices and that is because most violent criminals are emotional children. If you look closely at his court appearance clips then what you see is a child that’s been bad boy, mixed with the ‘man’ he is now forced to try and become. Once inside or on death row then this will be like a parent that will mete out punishment if his bad, and he'll behave...something he should have had while growing up and boundaries were set with the threat of acceptable parental force - something which the idiot Left have all but taken from the average American family imo...Your children aren't your friends or buddies, they are kids that need to know their place or society will oneday show them, as in this case...Parents should start growing up and face reality.

YOU’VE had 48 hours to reflect on the ghastly shooting in Colorado at a movie theater. You’ve been bombarded with “facts” and opinions about James Holmes’s motives. You have probably expressed your opinion on why he did it. You are probably wrong.
I learned that the hard way. In 1999 I lived in Denver and was part of the first wave of reporters to descend on Columbine High School the afternoon it was attacked. I ran with the journalistic pack that created the myths we are still living with. We created those myths for one reason: we were trying to answer the burning question of why, and we were trying to answer it way too soon. I spent 10 years studying Columbine, and we all know what happened there, right? Two outcast loners exacted revenge against the jocks for relentlessly bullying them.
Not one bit of that turned out to be true.
But the news media jumped to all those conclusions in the first 24 hours, so they are accepted by many people today as fact. The real story is a lot more disturbing. And instructive.
At every high school, college and school-safety conference I speak at, I hold up the journals left behind by the killers, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold. The audience is shocked at what they learn. Perpetrators of mass murder are usually nothing like our conceptions of them. They are nothing like a vision of pure evil. They are complicated.
