1. Looks like young Willard

I'm just saying...

Got that fugly True Believer aura...

[skip fox]

5. Hey, my name is Willard. (Skip is a nickname I go by and write under.) :)

He looks like an all-American kid, and I'm sure these words will be used constantly in the near future to describe his looks.

[lunasun]

21. All American kid? what does a " not all American kid " look like in America ?

[malaise]

2. He has those crazy Bachmann eyes

Fugg him

[AsahinaKimi]

15. According to a woman witness

who talked to a reporter on KUSA, she said she could not see him very well in the outfit he was wearing but did notice the guy was quite tall and VERY muscular. Steroid user? who knows....

[Fawke Em]

16. Looks awfully happy with himself.

Geesch.

25. Photo

4. I hope this is accurate and someone else's life isn't being ruined.

[RainDog]

6. a more recent photo from the U.

where he was studying has also just been released

was just on 9 news.

[DURHAM D]

7. local tv live feed

They have current pic.

[Loudly]

8. Looks like a law abiding gun owner to me.

Law abiding right up until the moment he wasn't.

[Lex]

10. Yep. And that's the big flaw with the "law abiding" gun owner argument. nt

[99Forever]

26. Aren't they all "law-abiding citizens" until...

.. they decide to go on a rampage murdering spree? If this gun toting fucking freak hadn't been armed to the teeth, we wouldn't be discussing the deaths and maiming of dozens of completely innocents people going about their lawful lives, AGAIN.

Fuck you NRA and ALL of your supporters.

[cali]

9. If this is correct, I think I was on the guy's facebook page

earlier.

[charlie]

12. Me too. I'm looking at a guy on Facebook who looks a lot like these pics

I won't link to it unless it's confirmed.

[charlie]

24. Aaaaand confirmed. I'm looking at the wrong guy

Wrong James Holmes Bombarded With Facebook Friend Requests After Aurora "Dark Knight Rises" Shooting

[Hutzpa]

31. According to that link

people are actually contacting the wrong James Holmes to befriend him, wow, why would
people want to become friends with a mass murderer? This is sickening.

[charlie]

33. Probably for the lulz

Makes a great memento, a screenshot of your face on a mass murderer's FB page. Of course, most of those thickwits likely forgot friend requests have to be accepted, which is hard to do when you're manacled in lockdown.

[Hutzpa]

37. for some unknown reason the thickwits are becoming more louder than the sane

crowds, it amazes me to find out that the first thought of some people is to befriend a mass murderer.

[surrealAmerican]

39. "Friending" someone on facebook doesn't mean you like them in real life.

It just means you want to see more of the information they've posted. These requests are from people who are curious: that's all we can know for certain about them.

[Robyn66]

11. Scary

Same look on his face as Jared Lee Loughner

[lunasun]

18. I think the illness is called God's Will Fever now days though I hate to joke so soon

sad if he was schizo and didn't receive help
really bad if acted on impulse and pure hate
either way another tragedy for all
we can not as a nation endure much more

[deutsey]

13. Apparently a PhD candidate in Neurosciences at CU

Pulled out of program before the shooting.

Just reported on local 9NEWS: http://www.9news.com/video/9newsonline.aspx

[hifiguy]

14. If that is in fact the right guy,

he looks more than a little nuts - the freaky eyes are a giveaway, just like the kook who shot Congresswoman Giffords.

[HooptieWagon]

17. Looks like a yearbook photo.

Be interesting to see current or booking photos.

[MADem]

20. See post nineteen, just below. nt

[MADem]

19. (Not Mugshot, School Pic-recent) Looks fifty shades of batshit, to put it bluntly.

http://www.tmz.com/2012/07/20/batman-massacre-james-holmes-photo/


His mother was not surprised. I guess his issues are not news.

[hifiguy]

22. Holy shit. If I saw that guy walking towards me

on the street, I would be completely freaked out. This guy looks crazier than a shithouse mouse.

[Robyn66]

23. Or he is very smart

Jared Lee Loughner was found unfit for trial I believe so he could be putting on the crazy trying to get off. It is ridiculous for me to make that kind of judgment with no facts, but it is a possibility that he is a very smart hater.

[hifiguy]

27. This isn't a mugshot. It was supplied by the U of C.

This is what he normally looks like. Those Manson/Bachmann eyes are enough to freeze the blood.

[muriel_volestrangler]

28. I worry about you guys

You see someone smiling for a photo, and you think that makes them obviously psycho. Does everyone in your life wear a permanent scowl? Or can't you manage to ignore that you already know he's a psycho, and just pretend to think as if someone had just shown you that picture with no context?

[hifiguy]

32. It isn't the smile. It's that psycho look in the eyes.

Like I said - Manson/Bachmann.

[MADem]

40. It's a two-fer. The smile is unconnected to the eyes, and the eyes are a million miles away.

There is a "look" and we do see it in killers of a certain type.

[hifiguy]

41. Yep. Look at the top and bottom halves of the face

independently. The bottom half, by itself, looks normal; the top half by itself looks absolutely bugfuck insane. That spaced-out, thousand-yard stare is a dead giveaway.

[LiberalLoner]

35. 2nd. Those "bright eyes" as I think of them are often a sign of someone being very intelligent.

Of course someone can be intelligent and bat-shit crazy both together, which apparently was the case here.

[amuse bouche]

29. Has Romney

taken a head count?

[warrior1]

30. updated op

[Duer 157099]

34. Disgusting how many people thnk they can diagnose mental illness with a photo

If that photo were of your best friend's son who just got married, you'd think he was a fine looking young man.

[MoonRiver]

36. Agree.

[Canuckistanian]

38. No kidding

He doesn't look much different than any young man I'd see on the street.

He kinda reminds me of Mark Zuckerberg, actually.
