The FBI recovered a package that is said to have been mailed by James Eagan Holmes, after the shooting suspect told investigators to look for it at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus.
A senior law enforcement officer told NBC that the package contained writings about killing people, but could not go into more detail.
Holmes had been in a doctoral program in neuroscience at the university. But he’s not going to graduate. He’s now in custody to be charged with killing 12 innocents, including a six year old girl, 3 servicemen, fathers and mothers and many just beginning life as young people with promise… and injuring 58 (19 in critical condition still) in a massacre at a movie theatre in Aurora, Colorado.
Police recovered the package on Monday after getting a search warrant for the medical center mail room and then getting a second warrant to actually open the package, the law enforcement source said.
It had not yet been delivered to whomever it was addressed to. It is rumored to contain James’s plan to harm others. Regardless, there’s a saying… be careful of the hole you dig for others that you yourself do not fall in,
From NBC News: “The Anschutz Medical Campus issued a statement saying it could not comment on anything regarding the ongoing criminal investigation into the theater shooting, under order of Arapahoe County District Judge William Sylvester.
“The University centrally receives mail from the United States Postal Service. The University then delivers the mail to the address on the Anschutz Medical Campus the same day it is received,” the statement said. “The University’s mail service is not open on Saturday. Saturday mail is sorted and delivered Monday morning. The University does not log or track mail/packages unless it requires a signature from the United States Postal Service.”
Just this then: There’s a saying about persons suffering from a mental disorder called “Character Disorder”, meaning in no way do they have a conscience about anyone else’s pain they caused… they only feel very very sorry for themselves. The saying is that thought they literally target others, definitively thinking others are like sheep and wont see them coming, they never realize that others can see them, and eventually a preponderance of their weird automaton-like behavior and actual harms to others, makes it a pretty sure thing that they will be caught, charged, tried, most often found guilty, and lose their freedom for life, or lose their lives completely either by prisoner homicide or by being put to death.
The prisons hold many persons who talk a game, but who have harmed others and see no reason why they ought be held accountable. Character disorder; lack of the outrigger which we call conscience. Ted Bundy. Timothy McVeigh. Charles Manson. All these have left behind a strong written and film record about why and how and that they did what they did for a higher good. Character disorder. Lack of conscience about how others suffer when harmed by the perpetrator…. part of why a person so ill can kill and maim serially or many souls all at once. They feel nothing. There is no sincere remorse. Crocodile tears perhaps, but those are for themselves, not for the murdered and maimed.
And… often in such sickness, there is also an odd desire to BE SEEN but through a veil, through writings, notebooks, diaries, letters, (often sent to someone to threaten, tell their plans before executing them, sent to newspapers) Ted Kaczynski, Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris and many others.
The patterns of ‘peacock displaying’ are rife in persons with homicidal mental disorders. 42 years ago when I first trained to be a shrink, one of our profs said there are certain mental disorders that are highly litiginous, and some that are suicidal, and some that are homicidal and suicidal.
Holmes should probably be on suicide watch too. Conscience in most humans would dictate so.
