Holmies - James Holmes Fandom

[Gears of Halo Duty V 394]

Right off the bat, I do not support this whatsoever. While I do recognize the irony of posting this, still...

 

Many of you are aware of the recent Colorado shooting during the midnight premier of The Dark Knight Rises. Apparently a fandom has grown around the shooter, James Holmes, online, with people calling themselves holmies in tribute to this.

Gut reactions tell me it's trolls. Surely they don't actually support this; no moral person would. Still, something feels off about this. Coming across this below didn't help one bit either.

 

 

 

Even if this is all a big joke, the biggest wtf troll hard thing this year, faith in humanity is quickly waning.

People only do this for shock value. At least most of the members of this fandom have to be doing it because "hurr durr its ironic and funny he should have an hero hurr durrrp"

 

Thought I wouldn't doubt there were some people who praise him. We call them sociopaths/psychopaths.
