Seriously, why didn't you die in whatever war you claimed to be in?

So they never said if it was the same person or not?

well, this guy looks to have copied the brevik manuscript step by step.

but the choice of a target doesn't seem political, and the brevik method is very specific about the appropriate political targets.

News of the massacre at the Batman screening in Aurora, Colo., this morning sent a thousand journalists (and ?citizen journalists?) to their browsers, racing to be the first to uncover the telling detail about the suspect. Would James Holmes turn out, like Tucson gunman Jared Lee Loughner, to have confessed in an online gaming forum to ?hav(ing) aggression 24/7?? Might he have penned online political screeds, like Norway shooter Anders Behring Breivik?



Maybe. But if so, they weren?t forthcoming Friday morning. Mashable?s Lance Ulanoff writes of spending all morning scouring Facebook, Twitter, even MySpace for clues and coming up with absolutely nothing. ?I cannot get over what an online ghost Holmes appears to be,? Ulanoff wrote.



At least Ulanoff came up with nothing. Others came up with something worse?misinformation and mistaken identity. ?There is a Jim Holmes of Aurora, Colo., uh, page, ah, on the Colorado Tea Party site, talking about him joining the tea party last year,? ABC News? Brian Ross excitedly informed milions of Good Morning America viewers Friday morning. Ross and the news organization apologized soon after, acknowledging that the report was incorrect.




Conservative sites such as Breitbart.com were predictably outraged by the bogus link, seeing in it a case of liberal media bias. But that indignation is perhaps undermined by Breitbart blogger Joel Pollak?s own unconfirmed ?exclusive? headline that Holmes ?could be a registered Democrat.?

american news channels are sickening. 24 hours a day retards talking and adding fuel to any fire they can come up with, all day long. To think some people have that crap on 24 hours a day. When i look at cnn for more than 20 seconds i already get tired. Horrible aggressive propaganda machines. People who watch that shit are brainwashed.

Tip: Don't watch any news. That's what i do. Only thing i do is read a bit of news online for maybe a minute max a day. Minimize it to the max because it doesn't add any value to your life.

Two totally different people, different middle names, and one is 24 and the other is in his 50s, but ABC doesn't care. As long as their original allegation is already out there, they can bury the retraction and no one will notice. This is what passes for "news" now in the world.




(Actually, this is what news has always been, but we did not have access to the wealth of other sources in order to do our own verification and it makes today's news practices that much more glaring).
