JH ruled out different theaters at Century Aurora 16. Chose Theater 9 because it was right size, right number of exits

The notebook said there was a 99 percent probability he would be caught.

JH notebook: "Table cloth clamps makes good door wedge."

JH discussed 3 options of attack: "Start at 12, start at 9 or 10, start at smoker's escape."

JH considered it a "con" if he couldn't lock doors to prevent "escapees."

I'm actually feeling really unsettled listening to this. Its scaring me that there are people like this in the world.
