does anyone knows why he was rejected at Univ of Arizona?
Maybe it just wasn't a good fit or there were more qualified candidates?

Bad choice of words on my part, I meant his tenure at McDonalds, really meant to say I am sure he was not in their employment too long.

Gotcha

At first when I read your comment I thought you were referring to McDonalds.

Thank you. :blushing: I am, lol. But I also know how lucky I was to have really smart, kind classmates.

Bet your a smart cookie too. I found study groups a great asset. Nothing like team work. Everybody brings it. Great learning curve.

PSA: Just want to take a moment to say the discussion in here has been lively and interesting.
There just has not been any sleuthing family members or posting questionable sites, bad FB linking or any of the things that we usually see with high profile,busy cases like this that can really create problems. The idea exchange has been enlightening and educational.

So, want to say thank you for some really good work and good conversation.

It has. Dont know bout the rest bout I'm bouncing from anger/emotional mode. Which is great bantering. It helps me process the horror of a crime.

This article from the Denver Post has some information about the doctoral program Holmes was enrolled in.

http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_21130229/suspect-was-facing-high-stakes-selective-academic-program

Holmes was one of six students admitted into the program for the 2011-2012 academic year. So it's a small and highly selective program. It takes 5 to 7 years to complete. The first year involves classes and research. Subsequent years are research only. The article includes some other details about the program.

Agree. My gut feeling right now is anger being the root. Society was going to pay.

I believe when they forensically search his computer he may have written some kind of manifesto. I think he wants it known why he did this, and in his mind, whether he is an extremist of some kind or mental.... he thinks these horrific acts were justified.

He had a good reason for not wanting to kill himself. Does he see himself as some kind of martyr I wonder?

imo

To those wondering why "cheers" seemed odd to the gun range manager, consider that the type of demographic who visits gun ranges are very unlikely to use the term, and the type of demo who use the term are very unlikely to visit gun ranges.

We know thats the way it is now smooth operator, but doesn't mean it has to remain that way.

But look again at the list.. NOTICE THAT NO ONE GROUP WAS PRIVY TO ALL OF THESE "signs".. They are only in hindsight crystal clear and compiled from WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT HERE.. A MULTITUDE OF MANY SOURCES!!!

There was no central registry, depository, or linkage system in place to report or compile any of this. Well actually there are parts and pieces of one with many noticeable deficiencies. Anyone could report suspicions to the FBI or homeland security and leave it up to them. The gun side has rules and regulations administered by lawmakers and individual people who had some suspicions. There were enough hints that someone different in the same situation may have gone a little further into checking on him, reporting on him, and may have triggered some investigation. The signs were there as said, people were suspicious as noted by the university profs statement, he first thought of Holmes.

We evolve as a country through experience. Maybe we can't deal with this sort of thing yet but maybe we can learn from it all how to for next time. Laws can change, investgative bodies can learn, computer systems can be modified to better collect, catch and collate information. (if we know what we are looking for)

In this case there were some pretty high powered eyes on him. He was in the middle of a high level psych class, his professors supposedly some of the best in the business. His grades plumetting, from top of the heap to dropping out in a very short period of time. His courses included studies on abberrant behaviour.

The mentorship program is an explorable and demonstrable connection. Very early a mentor is noted in his first temporal illusion discussion. Will have to go back for the link but it is in a video showing the cover of a mentorship.

Just saying, this isn't just any class where this sort of thing can be brushed under the rug so easily. The thing they are trained for and are in training for to catch sits right in front of them. Mentorship is a close up right in your mind experience.

I suspect that James Holmes could be an injustice collector.

Examples of Injustice Collector:
Seung-Hui Cho
Andrew Kehoe
Gertrude Baniszewski-Suspect she is one based on what I have read.

He had recently withdrawn from the competitive graduate program in neuroscience at the University of Colorado Denver, where he was one of six pre-thesis Ph.D. students at its Neuroscience Program to be funded by a prestigious grant from the National Institutes of Health. The program of 35 students is dedicated to training outstanding neuroscientists and academicians who will make significant contributions to neurobiology, the university said in a statement.
In the first year of the five- to seven-year program, students take classes and complete three, three-month research rotations in the labs of different professors.
Professors who worked with him either did not return calls or declined to comment, saying police and university officials had told them not to speak to the media.
At one point in the year, Holmes was engaged in research about RNA and was to present a paper May 8 about RNA Biomarkers, according to a class schedule. It was unclear if he presented the paper.
Holmes recently took an intense, three-part oral exam that marks the end of the first year. Those who do well continue with their studies and shift to full-time research, while those who don’t do well meet with advisers and discuss their options, including retaking the exam.

Finished B.S.- top of class/unable to find job....working at McDonald.....

I thought I read somewhere, he/mother decided it may be best if he went on for his Ph.D. since he couldn't find a job in field

Now, he didn't do well on his one year evaluation...

Another setback....life wasn't working out as planned.....he was smart....why was he being treated this way......

He would show us how smart he was.....he would show us his anger........

Just ask the survivors how angry he was.......

Sidenote....scene is previous Batman movie there was a scene where the Joker had on a red wig...

That was my first thought, but I do not think there has been any additional information released.

There's only a few got invited to spend a weekend at AZ campus and he's one of them :) It will be interesting to know if a psychological interviews were done before he was declined.
