27. While it may be tempting to out people named James Holmes in

Colorado, please keep in mind that both names are rather common. I see mistakes have already been posted in this thread. Fortunately, the links have been removed. It's very dangerous to do amateur investigations that aren't complete or accurate, and it can do real harm to innocent people.

No doubt we will find out who this murderous idiot is, but searching for "James Holmes" will take you down many false directions and posting links to people with those names could cause great harm.
