I would like to thank everyone for the tweets, comments, and observations (like Niner, I have BW issues also and cannot view the trial))
I won't be here during the daytime because I am posting tweets on the Boston Bombing trial, but I plan to read here every night.
I have a few question( from what I gathered from the tweets, comments, etc) :
What is "techno" music ?
Where did he get napalm?
And a couple of comments:
He said he had a long standing hatred of mankind.. Wonder why he felt that way and for how long. (I don't particularly have a liking of him right now, but I will reserve judgement for now as I do believe that some people do have mental illnesses that cloud their judgement - don't know if that's the case here yet).
I find it interesting that he "wants to research firearms laws and mental illness and body armor". It kinda leads me to believe at this time, that he planned to seek the mental illness mentality and because of the body armor, had no inclinations of "suicide by cop" at the time of the shooting. :moo:
:tyou: again for all the info.

He MADE the Napalm. My mind is officially boggled.
He went to some considerable lengths to conceal what he was up to during the extensive 'planning' phase. He spread out purchases over time and different places, concealed his activities, and so on. That suggests he new what he was planning was wrong. Whether he knew, by the time he was killing all those people and injuring many more, that what he was doing was wrong is another question. It is almost impossible for me to believe he was sane enough to put his planning into effect in the way he did, but too insane at the same moment, to know it was wrong.
All that body armour, etc...it is my impression that he intended to kill every single person in that theatre room. The protective gear covered every inch of his body and head, apparently. That would possibly have protected him against most weapons people might carry to watch a Batman film in their local cinema, but not neccessarily weapons carried by armed police or the kind of armed police/agents that we might expect or even hope would attend reports of a mass shooting.
As to actual evidence relating to his intentions re his own survival, (his writings, etc) I do not recall the prosecutor mentioning anything that suggested he intended to survive or suicide by cop, but my mind was on two things while listening so I may have missed it, but after going back to his vehicle, he did not make any further effort to flee the scene.
