Holmes Psychiatrist Warned of Threat Before Colorado Theater Attack
A psychiatrist who treated James Holmes told campus police a month before the Colorado theater attack that Holmes had homicidal thoughts and was a danger to the public, according to documents released Thursday.
Dr. Lynne Fenton, a psychiatrist at the University of Colorado, Denver, told police in June that the shooting suspect also threatened and intimidated her. It was more than a month before the July 20 attack at a movie theater that killed 12 and injured 70.
In the days after the attack, campus police said they had never had contact with Holmes, who was a graduate student at the university.
But campus police Officer Lynn Whitten told investigators after the shooting that Fenton had contacted her. Whitten said Fenton was following her legal requirement to report threats to authorities, according to a search-warrant affidavit.
Legitimately crazy dude that no one who could have done something did anything about.
But it is the gun’s fault.
Phil, this is a VERY slippery slope you stand on.
Forget at your peril the fact that we gunnies have already been falsely accused of “homicidal tendencies” just for owning certain firearms.
If you are a returning Veteran with “stage-two PTSD”, whatever THAT is, you are on the list to have your 2A rights removed without due process of law, i.e., a Court hearing.
The NRA gave away that farm after Virginia Tech.
We can’t afford to give any more ground.
What slope is that exactly, RD? The “making of violent threats” slope? I think they’ve leveled that slope into a law already.
If you’re worried about someone not getting due process because of their mental state, then get the rule changed. Don’t sit around saying that people who can’t hold their shit together should be allowed to wander around threatening people. That is how events happen that give the media something to go into months of PSH and governments write bad law.
If you’re more worried about people being able to go around threatening others than getting bad rules changed, I’m sorry, I can’t walk with you in that direction.
