He was a neuroscience PhD student. I'm quite sure he had a some level of understanding of chemistry

Hi. I am here to inform people how credit cards work. You go someplace, buy something, give 'em your credit card and you don't even have to put any real money down. You can even order things from the internet! Retailers treat them as real money because they get reimbursed by the credit card companies. However this Holmes douche had no intention of paying off his credit card debt. Like most credit cards, the limit is probably around $10,000 or maybe even more. Plenty of room to obtain the stuff that you don't have to worry about paying for. And... get this... he may have had more than one credit card. Banks are always super eager to supply people with credit cards.

So Natural News can go blow it's lame theories out its ass.

Ridiculous to think that with the state of information and sensory technology today that mind control and behavior modification experiments on citizens would be going on, especially with corporations and governments more deeply entwined than ever and a world constantly at war somewhere. It's not like public knowledge of the government doing so has been documented to exist, right? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mk_ultra

That guy hasn't slept in days.
From everything I have read and watched, he was up until that point an intelligent young man. Do you think that he is smart enough to act "off" to get a lesser sentence?

Just watched The Dark Knight Rises - loved it.

But that stock exchange scene ... made me uneasy.

As I mentioned earlier his state could have been a number of things.

Doubt that he won't plead insanity though. But who knows? Think for sure he'll get the death penalty.

Times like this I wish there was an immediate death sentence after a trial and one appeal. This isn't the West Memphis Three. There is no question what took place. Take Holmes out back and dispose of him.

jesus, thank you. just because i think the current UN-theory doesn't apply doesn't mean that shit similar to the current claims hasn't happened before.
