DENVER, Colo. — State troopers in Maine pulled over Timothy Courtois for reportedly driving 104 miles per hour. Inside his car, authorities found an assault rifle, four handguns, several boxes of ammunition and news clippings about the theater shooting in Aurora.
Courtois told authorities he had just watched “The Dark Knight Rises” with a loaded handgun in his backpack and that he was on his way to shoot his former boss.
In Denver, police confirm Jordan Morado posted messages on Facebook saying “Mad props to James Holmes. Thank you for making this world a whole lot better.”
Sources tell FOX31 that a friend of Morado’s reported these posts. Saturday night, police surrounded his Capitol Hill apartment.
Morado eventually came out and no threats were found inside his apartment.
He’s not facing any charges but sources tell us he was placed on a mental health hold.
You know, when the news said that the next biggest threat was copy cat shooters I was all like "Pfffft. LIke anyone's going to look at what this idiot did and think 'Oh, that's totally awesome! I should do that. Only better!'"
Excuse me, I have some humble pie to eat.... WTMF?

I heard about an assbag on the news this morning. He was at a Batman showing last night and the movie started late for technical difficulties. The news said that he stood up and said "You better start this movie or I might have to go off like that guy in Colorado did." He was arrested.

What a douchehat. This is the kind of guy who won't move over to a vacant seat so that a couple can sit together. I hate him.
Maybe it's because I just can't imagine being in that situation to begin with, but I am amazed when people just come out and admit to the police that they were about to do something. Maybe I've just watched too much Law & Order (or they haven't watched enough) to assume that my first words would be "I want to talk to an attorney."
