James Holmes and his public defender attorney, Tamara
Brady, who does not look pleased to have the case
Survivors and family members of deceased victims came face
to face with mass murderer, James Holmes, in court for the first time,
after his cruel and calculated murder spree at a July 21, 2012 screening of
the Batman film sequel "The Dark Knight Rises."
What Holmes did was sadistic and horribly wrong. It has caused many
innocent people a
lot of pain. It is clear that Holmes has given himself over to evil. It is tragic that someone
with the intelligence level he possesses, chose to devote his mind to such heinous acts.

However, with the mental illness component that has undoubtedly entered the picture,
illustrating that Holmes is criminally insane, it is unquestionable that he poses a threat to
society and should not see freedom again. As such, he was denied bail.
He also confessed he booby trapped his apartment with explosive, which
could have killed hundreds. His lawyer is fighting a losing battle.
Holmes is the definition of a "menace to society" as
he ambushed and murdered innocent people watching a movie with family,
friends and others who are close to them. He shot a baby a point blank range.
He killed a beautiful six year-old girl, who had barely begun to live her
life. He killed
servicemen in a haze of bullets, who didn't die in live combat in the
Middle East, but at a movie theatre of all places.

No one deserves to be ambushed like that, especially in a
place that is made for entertainment and enjoyment. The survivors must be terrified
of the thought of going to the movies again. I tried to picture what those
poor people must have gone through and my mind cannot comprehend it. This
world is in a mess that something like this happened.
Hollywood
needs to do its part and stop putting sick ideas into people's heads, via
music and films that simply go too far, via questionable content. But at
the end of the day, Holmes is the one responsible for his actions and he
must and I trust, will be held accountable.
