On Aurora theater shooting's 10th anniversary, Colorado remembers lives lost on July 20, 2012

Family identifies 27-year-old victim of Aurora theater shooting – The Denver Post

On July 20, 2012, a mass shooting occurs at a movie theater in Aurora, a Denver suburb, killing 12 people—the youngest a 6-year-old girl—and injuring at least 70 others.

The Aurora shooting took place shortly after the start of a crowded midnight showing of The Dark Knight Rises, which opened across the United States that day. It was the deadliest mass shooting in Colorado since the 1999 Columbine shooting, in which 12 high school students and a teacher were murdered.

The massacre in Aurora began when 24-year-old James Holmes entered theater 9 at the Century 16 multiplex through a parking lot exit door and threw gas canisters into the theater. He was dressed in a gas mask and black combat gear, leading some audience members to initially think he was performing a stunt for the film, a Batman sequel eagerly anticipated by fans.

Instead, Holmes opened fire at the audience, shooting people at random. Police quickly arrived on the scene, and Holmes was apprehended behind the movie theater; he put up no resistance.

Not long after, law enforcement agents evacuated buildings near Holmes’ Aurora apartment after he told them he had booby-trapped his home with explosive devices. When Holmes made his first appearance in court, on July 23, his hair was dyed neon orange and he seemed dazed and devoid of emotion.

Investigators learned that in the months leading up to the Aurora movie theater shooting, Holmes had acquired weapons from Colorado gun shops and ordered thousands of rounds of ammunition online. A native of San Diego, he had enrolled in a Ph.D. neuroscience program at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora in 2011 but dropped out in June 2012 after failing an important exam.

Court documents later revealed that a month before the Aurora shooting, a University of Colorado psychiatrist who had treated Holmes reported to campus police that he could be a danger to the public and had threatened her.

Holmes, who has offered no motive for the shooting spree, eventually was charged with 166 counts of murder, attempted murder and weapons charges. In May 2013, he pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. In a 2015 trial, Holmes was sentenced to 12 consecutive life sentences without parole.

I would bet my eye teeth he was meeting with his see-eye-eh handler in the weeks prior to the shooting. Not that the see-eye-eh has ever done anything like this before, just a wild guess is all.

You know why they say Aurora?
Because if they said Denver you would realize how many “mass shootings” were staged there.
And then you might start investigating how much military activity is in the Denver area.

Worse, you might start back checking “victim names” and discovering a bunch of agency created ghosts and spooks.

Q: Why was the monster permitted to leave the scene of the massacre alive?

A: Because the USSA is a captured government and any murderous psyop is a good thing to keep the Lumpen enthralled. (Uvalde immediately jumps to mind among a whole host of others including Jaysin Alldeen concert at the Mandalay, folks.)

I think this was widely determined to be a FF. Like 9/11 and Sandy hook, these events will go down in history as TPTB want it , not with a shred of truth.

How do the spooks get the shooter to commit these crimes? I believe they do but do not know how.. Maybe they are just patsies and not shooters.

If they called all the shootings in Denver suburbs asin in Denver proper, people would suddenly notice how many mass shootings have occurred…in Denver, near all the military intelligence trainig bases, where you could expect them to run such ops.
