Holmes on TV now with his red hair MSNBC / CNN

* Why didn't they shave his head?

[onehandle]

1. Legal gun owner.

[spanone]

63. legal gun owner / mass murderer

[Stinky The Clown]

2. He looks fucked up

Drugged. Or tired. Or dazed.

What he doesn't look, is normal.

But that's just how it reads to me. I have no idea what condition or frame/state of mind he is in.

[chelsea0011]

3. Thorazine nod, it looks like. He has the look of someone who knows his life is over.

[flamingdem]

17. Thanks. Yes, he must be on something to bob like that

They were kind to shoot him up, sounds like he might be a Vicodin addict so otherwise would be withdrawing, possibly

[Lex]

23. Either that, or the police have had him up asking him questions for many of the last

48 hours.

[chelsea0011]

29. No question that is also playing into it.

[HappyMe]

32. That could be.

He's not a stupid guy, could be intentional.

[chelsea0011]

44. The last thing the court needed was a scene. He is a danger to others and himself,

and was probably iinjected.

[lightworker at work]

60. Interesting...You sound like you have all the answers...

Sirhan Sirhan was also dazed and confused and it was reported in the MAINSTREAM media recently that he was brainwashed. This stinks to high heaven of another mindslave patsy

But there is such a thing as karma. Whoever does such dastardly things will have to answer for it eventually.

[eShirl]

62. great, now I'm hungry for pizza

[uppityperson]

64. Funny how easy you are to spot. There is such a thing as karma.

[eShirl]

6. ...

[chelsea0011]

7. Oh goodness. That didn't take long.

[PCIntern]

26. ! n/t

[flamingdem]

36. Same eyes

The mug shot appears

[lapislzi]

39. DO NOT DO THAT TO BEAKER

Beaker is kindly and confused. Me love Beaker! Bad eShirl!

[eShirl]

45. so sorry!

you're right
bad me!

[Arkansas Granny]

4. Am I missing something here? Why would they shave his head?

[flamingdem]

5. I thought they did that in jail due to lice

Also it's not going to help his case to look like a knock off of the Joker or Ronald McDonald

[snooper2]

9. It's not 1812 anymore

LOL


Yo Jackie, you shaved your head!!!

Well, not really, I just got a DUI this weekend so they did it at the pokey for free

[MADem]

12. He's not in a prison yet--he's in the county jail, in solitary, in "pre-trial confinement."

[kestrel91316]

13. It's not Buchenwald, it's jail while he awaits arraignment. They'd

BETTER NOT be shaving the heads of everybody on entry.

[obamanut2012]

21. +1

[PCIntern]

27. good one! meta-DUzy... n/t

[Renew Deal]

51. That's what I was thinking

[Blue_In_AK]

68. Are you serious?

I worked in a prison and we had inmates with no hair, hair of mid-length and hair down to the waist. Is Alaska that unusual?

[Blue_Tires]

14. His attorney would certainly tell him to request it ASAP

[jp11]

38. I'm sure if a prisoner can get a makeup artist to conceal tattoos the attorney can

request someone dye his hair back to normal and get him a nice haircut.

No real reason it needs to get shaved off unless they simply can't get it dyed back.

[HappyMe]

8. He looks kind of out of it.

But then again, I have no idea what he should look like.

Why would they shave his head?

[nadinbrzezinski]

10. Cause he did not have head lice

That's the reason they shaved Loughner.

[1-Old-Man]

11. Who is Holmes?

My god this is a cryptic posting.

[kestrel91316]

15. Have you been on vacation or a desert island since last Friday?

[Lex]

16. SERIOUSLY?

It is NOT a cryptic posting I can assure you.

[uppityperson]

18. The guy that shot and killed a whole lot of people at a movie on friday.

Or is it Sherlock Holmes?

[1-Old-Man]

37. Thank you. From the original post all I could come up with was a guy on a home improvement show

There was nothing at all in the original posting that pointed at it being about the shooting last week and as far as I know there is only one guy named Holmes that has a TV show, and the guy is bald or shaved-head, so I thought that might be what it was about - but of course even that left the original post as sort of nonsensical. Thanks again.

[uppityperson]

66. You are welcome and don't worry about asking things. Some believe everyone should know everything,

or at least everything they are interested in. I've been off tv/media and off computer and come to find something being talked about that I didn't know wtf they were talking about. And asked. And got my butt handed to me by those who do so. Which is offensive and rather amusing since it takes about as long to say "here is who he is" as "why don't you know you lazy person who's been on a desert island etc".

[flamingdem]

19. Desert Island Much?

[MADem]

31. No, it isn't. Google is your friend. nt

[1-Old-Man]

43. Google may be many things, but it is certainly not a friend, not by any stretch of the immagination

Do you honestly think that the only person named Holmes on TV in the last week was the guy who did the shooting in Colorado? And by the way, I have not watched a single news cast about the shooting. Anything I know of it was stuff that I simply could not avoid seeing on the Internet, like this posting turned out to be.

[bahrbearian]

54. I was going to ask the same question.

[MADem]

57. Now you're telling me your personal problems.

If you googled Holmes and MSNBC, you'd not have wound up looking at Sherlock.

You didn't HAVE to join in on this thread--so far down in the hierarchy of posts, too, which would have given you an opportunity to learn what the post was all about if you'd ONLY bothered to read the thread....but no....transmission trumps reception, I see!

Google IS your friend, even if you don't realize it. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Holmes%2C+MSNBC&l=1

[uppityperson]

65. Why such a nasty and chastising post? Seriously. why not just answer without the snark?

[MADem]

69. The poster was not unaware of the story. And he wasn't the first person to respond to the OP.

I'm not being "nasty and chastising" at all. I'm just observant. There was enough info between post one and post ten to get a sense of what was going on, there.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002981654#post1

He's a fast learner.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=1006436

And that kind of approach isn't a one-off:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=958057

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=912202

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002884850#post5 (WTF?)

He's not a delicate flower who needs to be coddled, not by a long shot.

[uppityperson]

70. Ah. A request for info= "coddling". Gotcha. I understand you well. eom

[MADem]

71. I understand the fine art of subthread derailment. nt

[uppityperson]

72. I bow to the Master.

[MADem]

73. Whatever. I'm sure we'll revisit this topic one day. nt

[Renew Deal]

52. HGTV Star

[flamingdem]

53. He should be benefitting from google searches

right about now.

[bahrbearian]

56. He sorta has a shaved head.

[obamanut2012]

20. They don't shave prisoners' heads

[nc4bo]

22. Hmm.....he doesn't seem real.

It's almost like he's faking or playing a role.

He looks bored.

Would he have been medicated by a doctor?

[obamanut2012]

24. He looks bloaed to me

A lot more than in the shots they showed on TV.

[nc4bo]

28. I honestly want to say he's full of shit but...

since I don't know what's going on behind the scenes......

But mentally ill or not, I've not much patience for Mr. Holmes.

[flamingdem]

33. I guess that means he would have seen a psychiatrist

and they just said he hasn't had that exam yet.

Maybe he is in withdrawal from Vicodan

[nc4bo]

35. Could very well be flamingdem.

I guess as time goes on we'll find out more information.

[HangOnKids]

59. Did He Have A Vicodan Addiction?

Never saw that info. Is there a link to a story about this? Thanks.

[B2G]

25. If they're going for an insanity plea

His lawyers probably want him to look as batshit crazy as possible.

Mission accomplished.

[flamingdem]

30. Commentator said his appearance would favor the prosecution

because he's able to sit there and isn't acting wild-hostile

But he is looking batshit crazy with those eyes.

Can those crazy eyes be faked? I don't think so..

[B2G]

34. Hard to say...it was a short hearing

A more lengthy proceeding? That would be tougher.

[Zorra]

40. That look means: "OMG, what did I do? Now there is no hope left. My life is over." nt

[RavensChick]

67. Exactly.

n/t

[mainstreetonce]

41. May go for

not competent to stand trial and he won't even need the insanity defense.

[MadHound]

42. I actually wondered if he was going to cry.

To me he looked like a man who just realized the whole world was coming down on him, and he wasn't sure why.

Is he insane, well, I think that anybody who kills lots of people for no good reason to be insane, but I also recognize that definition doesn't meet legal criteria.

[steve2470]

47. he did look close to tears at times, to me nt

[KansDem]

46. When did he have the time, or materials, to die his hair?

[B2G]

48. He dyed it prior to the shootings n/t

[backscatter712]

49. Presumably before he went on his shooting rampage...

[HooptieWagon]

50. A few weeks before the shooting.

[KansDem]

55. Thanks, B2G, backscatter712, and HooptieWagon

This was the only photo I saw of him--

[MADem]

58. I think that's a school ID pic. There's also a pic of him on "Adult Friend Finder" which I am told

is a "hookup/dating" type site. His hair is that orange in that pic. His tag line was something like "Will you visit me in jail?"

[KansDem]

61. Thanks for the info...

I've been following the developments on DU, but have not kept up with all the threads.

His hair is that orange in that pic. His tag line was something like "Will you visit me in jail?"

It would be gross understatement to call this "bizarre."
