There's something about this guy that doesn't fit. He damned well made sure he looked crazy as a loon the night of the shooting and for his first court appearance, which was televised, of course. Orange hair, wide eyes. Couldn't possibly have looked nuttier. But the entire time prior to that he had looked perfectly normal. Had acted normal enough to get by. Funny, too, that he managed to see a psychiatrist a couple of times just prior to the shootings and made sure she documented that he had homicidal thoughts.

Yet, he took care of himself on a daily basis. Went to class. Paid his bills. Ordered his bomb-making materials online. Put together a complex booby-trap system that would have blown up had police entered unawares. Bought guns and lots of ammunition. Cased out the theater. There will be hundreds of examples of all the normal things he did. The abnormal things will only relate to his crime, or establishing his "insanity" just prior to it. Odd, isn't it that his insanity didn't interfere with his plans or his self care. It just made him do this bad thing.

IMO everything he did is an insult to people with real issues. He's a psychopath who knows right from wrong and just does not give a flying fuck.
