That one about James Holmes is a good read. I've been reading a lot (probably too much) about the case, but I hadn't seen that one. What's really scary about this case is how successful he was in life as recently as last year- he had at least one college paying to court him to their grad program, but got a better deal from the one on Colorado, because of his 3.95 GPA (I told you I'd been reading too much) and high intelligence. Dude got nearly a perfect score on his GRE (except for the analytical writing. His writing was awful). That was just *last summer*. Then... this.
I think that, in the long run, we'll learn a lot of important things from this case. But for now, it's just unfathomable and a little frightening.
