"He's spitting at everything. Dude was acting crazy"

The photo is from Adult Friend Finder. I think that is a cardboard cutout behind him. Who poses with a cardboard cutout of a girl behind him on an adult dating site. (Does this work, ladies?)



Aurora shooting suspect James Holmes jailed in solitary: ‘All the inmates were talking about killing him’
'He was spitting at the door and spitting at the guards,' a just-released inmate told the Daily News. 'He's spitting at everything. Dude was acting crazy.'

MOVIE MASSACRE suspect James Holmes remained unapologetic and irrational Saturday in a Colorado jail where his life was at risk from inmates bent on revenge.

Holmes, held under suicide watch in solitary confinement, remained in his murderous “Joker” persona after arriving at the Arapahoe Detention Center, a jailhouse worker told the Daily News.

“Let’s just say he hasn’t shown any remorse,” the employee said. “He thinks he’s acting in a movie.”

...

“He was spitting at the door and spitting at the guards,” one released inmate told The News outside the jail. “He’s spitting at everything. Dude was acting crazy.”

...

“All the inmates were talking about killing him,” Wayne Medley, 24, said as he left the facility. “Everyone was looking for an opportunity. It’s all they could talk about.”

Not on a bet. Not only does that photoshop make him look insane, but even without the porn-chick background, he looks insane.

that it is taken by a low resolution computer cam, and that he is sitting at the computer wearing headphones, with a large cardboard cut out or other blown up photograph of a girl behind him. (As opposed to a photoshop montage)

Wearing headphones on the computer is not unusual, particularly for apartment dwellers.

It's no scam, lol. It's how my assistant has found quite a few "friends", and she suggested I use it. I have no complaints and have met several nice dates there. It's not for the bashful, but it's a far cry from alt.com, which is a major BDSM site that I DON'T use.

gonna run over there and look up his profile if I can.........

but they confirmed the fire-red hair dye. The only photos we have seen are 10th grade and the University shot for his student ID that is out.

I have a feeling people are going to gasp when they see this freak Monday morning in court.

Can't say as I am surprised that he would open this AFF account given what was in his head. He titled it, "Will you visit me in prison".

Best wishes to the Defense team on this one. They are going to need it.

He either will be in solitary for the rest of his life or probably be killed by fellow inmates like Dahmer was, if he doesn't get the death penalty.

These guys think they're smarter than everyone else. Like the guy in Texas who tried to set up his SYG defense with video and rehearsed lines.

Holmes is clever and smart. What he failed to grasp is that the months of planning, the setting of booby trap, wearing of body armor, are all evidence that he knew he was committing a crime. I imagine just a few sessions with a police psychiatrist, and he'll be pronounced "sane".

between the packages delivered to his home and school, the timeline of the known purchases, the NRA "costume" at the theater and the booby trapped apartment - he may be insane, but they have intent down to the T and they don't even have the contents of his apartment (computer, etc) yet.

One would think that would have calmed his ass down. Then again, dentist gives me any form of codeine and its 2am and I am looking to wash the car after I finish vacuuming the house, so who knows.

I can say that in all my life, I have never had the urge to spit on anyone.

Maybe they need to test him for rabies.

his liver will be fried from all the tylenol so I am wondering if they got the dosage correct. I am the same as you with the codeine. It makes me hyper as can be and I can be found cleaning the kitchen in the wee hours.

Me thinks the liver may be the least of his worries though, after reading the 'exit interviews' in the OP link. Sounds like his reputation proceeds him there in the Aurora jail community. Kidney damage can be just as painful and isn't but a few blows to the lower back.

Cheers on the codeine thing - glad I am not alone.

Thankfully, I only need it every 5 years or so. I can get the same effect with an advil and a pot of strong coffee.

an orange wig in the picture? The wig isn't photoshopped? If the picture is for real, holy crap!

The article excerpt makes me think he's really and truly deranged. Something has to be terribly wrong with him. I keep thinking brain tumor, but maybe that's because a dear friend of mine was killed in '66 by Charles Whitman, the Texas University clock tower killer, and he had one.

He'll spend the rest of his life locked up.He's young, so that is a long life. He"ll grow up sometime in prison. He'll never see freedom, though.

Something is wrong with this society that this could happen.

if he gets the death penalty-which I would expect.

Plus, judging by the interview with the just-released guy from jail, the prisoners are wanting a crack at him. For noteriety, I assume... or maybe its jailhouse ethos, who knows?
