That's an interesting comment and reminds me of my best friend.
She committed suicide, hung herself. I discovered her on the garret.

Some days earlier, she came to my house as she didn't feel well and wanted to be in company.
I had told her that she's welcome whenever she wanted.
We were in the kitchen talking while I was doing the dishes. Once there was a silent moment and my whole body & mind got frozen. She was in my back standing behind the kitchen table and without looking to her I was "convinced" she was aiming with a gun on me and going to shoot.
It all was only in my imagination but it was paralysing.
2 days later I found her dead.
A couple of days later I seeked to speak with her psy (shrink?) and told him about the imagined shooting. I understood that I was very right... Her illness had created huge aggressions but in the ultimate moment something pushed her to direct them against herself instead of others. It could very well have been the contrary.

You had a paralyzing aura..... those are so strange, I agree. ((hug))

HAHA! The weight gain again...I honestly have no idea why this tickles me so much!

Dr. Klug: "I put him in the alternate category" because he said the written portfolio was very good, but he felt from the interview the defendant wasn't very interested in the program.

Dr. Klug: Didn't believe he would see the defendant again after the interview, but a few weeks later the defendant asked to rotate in his lab.

Trial Diaries ‏@TrialDiariesJ · 1m1 minute ago
Holmes seemed cocky too. Klug thought maybe another school offered him a spot #theatershooting #theatertrial

Dr. Klug: "The big question is to find out how the brain processes information" he explains he is trying to investigate "how can you understand the speaker you're interested in while there are all kinds of distracted noises."

The labs had 3-4 full-time employees. Paid for by funding. His lab focused on auditory systems - how brain processes sound

They focused on situations that had background noises (such as a crowded bar). Also used animals for research

as good as it gets............there are no A pluses

 

[bexlex]

so he's book smart ..... maybe they mistook him for "book nerd/low social skills" aka Aspergers....instead of some type of mental illness that interfered with his personal interactions

 

[Hatfield]

"Cocky" seems to be a good adjective for JH. That is what comes to mind when I saw him a few times in the news.

Yesterday we had brought up a previous analysis of some other school that said to "never accept him under any circumstances" or something like that. I hope we get more details on why that person said that about him.
