Police have identified the shooter in the Aurora “Batman massacre”: 21-year-old James Holmes. Needless to say, thousands of amateur sleuths are scouring the web for info on the killer (he was a neuroscience Ph.D candidate at UC-Denver). NBC reports that Holmes used a Remington 870 shotgun, Smith & Wesson AR15, Glock .40 cal and a second Glock (unknown caliber) to claim 12 innocent lives. Thank God the major networks are on the job, adding their expertise to the hunt. Excepting ABC, who decided to run with a story describing Holmes as a Tea Party activist. Uh, no. “The Colorado Tea Party Patriots and the Tea Party Patriots are saddened to hear of the death and wounding of theater goers in Aurora, Colorado. The member of the Colorado Tea Party Patriots, Jim Holmes, age 52 is not the same person who has been identified as the shooter. The attempts of some media organizations to characterize the shooter as a Tea Party member without having made any effort to contact our organization are shameless and reprehensible.”
