Holmies
Even a lunatic like James Holmes had to know that the media extravaganza was inevitable — and even the media should have known their hype would produce something like this:
BuzzFeed’s Ryan Broderick has unearthed a small group of “Holmies,” die-hard James Holmes fans who gush supposed love for the alleged killer on Tumblr like he was a teenage vampire. Not just that: Holmies are fixated on every minute detail of Holmes, from the plaid shirt Holmes was caught in to his bright-red hair, to the few childhood photos that have surfaced. Holmies post pictures of themselves drinking Slurpees, inspired by a video of an 18-year-old Holmes that shows he’s a Slurpee fan; they pass around instructions for sending letters to Holmes in jail; there is the requisite bad anime-style fan art and animated .gifs (“hugs for holmies!”).
Run onto the field at a baseball game and the cameras will shun you, lest others be encouraged. But kill a bunch of innocent people and the media goes into a feeding frenzy, apathetic about the consequences.
Instead of focusing their righteousness on exploiting the killings to attack the Second Amendment so that we will be even more vulnerable to maniacs in the future, journalists ought to give some thought to their own responsibility.
On tips from Anthony D and AC.
Hope he enjoys his fame while feeling the shank stick in the side of his neck from an inmate who will eventually share the same block. See, even those in death row don’t like scum of his kind.
Those dumbassses who worship him need to be in a bullpen for 16 hours. They wont feel murdering innocent people is so glamorous anymore.
Our culture is rotten to the core.
Lock and load. When this economy collapses, our streets are going to become Hell on Earth.

I don’t think these “collective Zombies” (for lack of a better definition) are at all interested in murder.
However I do believe they are trying to fill a void in their lives left by public school liberal indoctrination which rejects out of hand the very essence of the individual.
They have been convinced any recognition of the self is evil, yet they still have the instinctual feeling for achievement and/or to be noticed
Think of how different things would be if those hoards of Obamazombies would instead of repeating
“yes WE can”
exclaim
“yes I can”
and believe it.
I don’t think Holmies will be pulling the lever for Romney in November.
Again, AC has pegged it. It’s all about our culture, no matter how much of a nebulous term we think it to be.
The culture is the Petri dish, the news is the inevitable result. Whether it’s stories like this, random violence, non-stop porn from the sewage pipe from Hollywood; it all comes from our culture war.
These losers are just one step down from the “false flag” CIA plot numbskulls,makes me wonder if a few of these yo-yos don’t recognize Jimmy from their OWS chapter and either want to express how cool they think he is for striking a blow at the system (the Holmies)or divert attention away from one of their own that jumped the gun (the false flaggers).
Wasn’t Jimmie a candidate for a PH.D. in neuroscience?
Charles Manson asks: “Who wants the movie rights?”
It’s moments like this I sometimes wish lao were still around to try and spin this cultural rot.
Liberals blame the guns but overlook the callousness and indifference to life required before pulling the trigger on innocent life.
Yah, he would have loved this one!
More liberal logic…

Right, because nothing says “love and tolerate” more than mowing down moviegoers in a hail of gunfire.
