Outrage over Facebook tribute pages set up in praise of accused Colorado movie theater gunman James Holmes

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2178530/Colorado-movie-theater-shooting-Tribute-pages-accused-shooter-James-Holmes.html#ixzz21cnu3ppu

I'm assuming the Daily Mail has never been flagged as a right wingnut site. I can't believe some guys are crazy enough to worship this monster.

Edit: someone says it is a RW rag. So here's a backup:

And then on the other side of the gender aisle comes this brand of batshit crazy:

Disturbing: Women on Twitter Think James Holmes Is ‘Hot,’ ‘Sexy,’ ‘Cute’

http://jezebel.com/5927828/disturbing-james-holmes-twitter-groupies-think-hes-hot-sexy-cute

My diagnosis: We're being indoctrinated.

1. Well, the Daily Mail has always been a RW rag, for over a century.

As for the women thinking Mr Holmes is sexy, they thought Charlie Manson was sexy, too. All human behavior is subject to the tyranny of the bell-curve, and some times the edges can be pretty... interesting.

2. In decades passed, this sort of response has definitely not been unknown.

That's not to excuse the sick behavior, for it is clearly sick, but to highlight that this isn't really anything eschatologically "new".

3. I'm jaded, but I've never seen this behavior before.

Consider this one less thing I'm naive about...

4. we are being indoctrinated into thinking holmes is cute? by whom?

deranged teenaged girls?

[Zalatix]

12. Deranged people, period.

[arely staircase]

13. are indoctrinating us in to thinking holmes is cute?

[zappaman]

5. "We're being indoctrinated."?

I don't understand.
What are we being indoctrinated into?
Many murderers get groupies...been happening for decades.

[Zalatix]

6. But why? Is it some kind of flaw in our brain chemistry or something?

[malthaussen]

9. You seriously wonder why barbarians get groupies?

I'll give you a hint: it's about perceived power.

7. Probably certain online communities trying to elicit a response...

Wouldn't be the first time.

16. Let us pray.

The alternative scenarios kind of suck.

8. A few women being drawn to psychos is not new

Richard Ramirez, the Night Stalker, got more fan mail from women than anyone in the California prison system. He married one of them. This is a guy who broke into homes, and raped and shot couples as they slept.

[Zalatix]

17. It wasn't just women. There were those Facebook fan pages, too.

[Initech]

10. WTF is wrong with some people???

[Douglas Carpenter]

11. Apparently it has always been the case that famous mass murderers and even serial killers get fan

mail and even serious marriage proposals. I understand the concept of being attracted to the "bad boy," but sheeesh!!!

[CBGLuthier]

14. Cute as a Bundy he is

Ted Bundy was a handsome monster too.

15. To be honest, you don't know who is who on Twitter. Or even if they really are women.

The .Net encourages extreme expressions. Sometimes it becomes a competition to see who can be more outrageous.
