Show some love for the "Holmies"

[Ronin13]

Sorry to post in the typical Ronin fashion, but my co-worker just told me about this story and oh my god, no more hope for the human race!

More than two dozen Holmes-related Tumblr pages have sprouted up since the shooting. Referring to themselves as "Holmies," many supporters use the suspect's pictures in avatars. Most of the bloggers are teenagers, sharing and reblogging mugshots and signs that say "I Love The Holmies."

Tumblr users such as FreeHolmes urge fans to write to Holmes -- including in the page a link to the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office inmate mail procedures. The blog's subhead reads, "This is going to be 90% pictures and I must admit I'm on James side." On the page, there's a collection of James Holmes GIFs, caricatures and fan-made comics.

Tumblr user JamesHolmesLover86 explains participation in the trend: "As a James Holmes supporter, I do not support what he did. I support him in the sense that I feel bad for him and that his mental state was not in the right place. People are so quick to judge him when there’s probably a lot more going on then what we know about."

Reminds me of that video of those mindless hippies crying and wailing around a fallen tree in the forest.

Nah, that's worse. The Holmies are teenagers and have no freaking clue. The hippies were grownups and should know better.

Once upon a time if you were too weird, perverted or otherwise mentally fubar you were alone. Then the net came along and they found people just like them.

I also suspect this Holmsie stuff has a major troll factor. Don't feed them.

I'm sure women will start writing him love letters soon. Happens with every serial killer/ murderer.

And none of those idiots have a single item in their homes made with any wood in it, right? Or any paper, which comes from, uh, wood?

"Why do they have to kill the trees? Why can't they just use the wood that's made at the store?"

Stupid hippies.

And anybody that would support Holmes needs to be thrown in there with him. He needs them you know, he's lonely.

Drunk people have bad judgement and don't know what they do, and they have to answer for their actions. Screw James Holmes. Turn him into 1mm think slices with a deli slicer while alive.

Lenny just wanted to pet the rabbits, and he answered for his actions.
