The crazy train from End Timesville has pulled in, folks.
Before you click on these links... you have been warned.
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: http://www.nbcbayarea.com/blogs/press-here/Aurora-Shooter-Tribute-Pages-Show-Up-on-Facebook-163511396.html 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...

9. You seriously wonder why barbarians get groupies?
I'll give you a hint: it's about perceived power.

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.

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!!!

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.
