What is your opinion on 'Holmies'?

[triggerperson]

They are the followers/fans of James Holmes (that Batman-premier-shooter). They mainly seem to hang out on Tumblr. They actually have some funny posts(examples below). I actually don't think they're highly disturbed psychopaths that should be killed. I assume they just find his case fascinating. And you gotta admit, his facial expressions are funny.:D

All the same, some things ought to be left alone. When people are still mourning and the graves have barely gone cold, I don't think it's something to joke about.
Seriously. There is such a thing as respect for the dead.

Seth MacFarlane said in an interview they don't chose comedy material until a certain amount of time has passed. Like when 9/11 happened, they wouldn't even touc what happened. Now, there's an episode of where they make a joke about it, like those terrorists or that episode of where Peter said "So this is where aids happened" then Brian says "No Peter, this is the site of the 9/11 attack".

It's kinda funny sometimes. But I don't really care about the case anyway soo...

the second one was hilarious. I don't think people should be fans of the dude though

[OregonStateDude]

So James Holmes has groupies now? That's like 100 kinds of disturbing.

Shaky really, It's freedom of speech. And, the second one was hilarious. But, It's still pretty disrespectful.

Most Holmies are 14 or 15 year old edgy kids who act like they have a sick sense of humor. Really, none of it phases me. I've heard jokes about the incident and got a chuckle out of them, but the people who like the facebook pages and whatnot are trying too hard to be edgy.

There's no such thing as something you shouldn't joke about. That's the point of comedy.

He was playing the jokers role right? currect me if i'm wrong

[FreeFall]

It makes me feel sick and I want him dead.
His followers are sick minded little kids that want to be hardcore. Don't make jokes until the pain is gone and the cops are no longer standing in the movie theaters here to ensure our protection. It's rude and lacking in compassion and humanity.

Eh. They can say whatever they please, they have their rights to do so.
Honestly, I didn't mean to make it sound like I was telling people what to do when I said don't make jokes, I guess it'd just be nice if there were more compassion I suppose.

[PinkFloyd]

ha wow... thers a name for his supporters now?

anyway, I think that these people need to get a new hobby other than respecting the mastermind behind such a tragedy... :/

I think they're jumping on the bandwagon. At least Columbiners have reason to be interested in Eric and Dyaln--they were interesting. James just went on a killing spree as has happened many times in the past. He has nothing interesting about him yet. Other than his hair.

Yay hybristophilia.
