(2,457 posts)Why didn't she try to get the young man some help? If the mother stated "You've got the right guy" after being informed of his arrest following the shooting, what did she observe in her son's behavior that would automatically have her blurt out such a statement. Did she actually see something so disturbing in her son's behavior but not seek out any kind of aid or advice?
I have said this in another post:
-Holmes had no previous record, not even misdemeanors
-He had no history of violence or mental illness
-He may have been private, shy, socially "off", even not overtly polite to others but those personality traits are a far cry from being a mass murderer capable of great violence.
-Academically he was described as "very smart" or "brilliant"
-No history with terrorists, radical groups, or criminal organizations.
Right now all we have are questions, but no answers since the guy isn't talking.
