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.

(39,333 posts)They were kind to shoot him up, sounds like he might be a Vicodin addict so otherwise would be withdrawing, possibly

(15 posts)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.

(2,104 posts)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
(20,277 posts)But then again, I have no idea what he should look like.
Why would they shave his head?

(34,108 posts)It is NOT a cryptic posting I can assure you.

(115,681 posts)Or is it Sherlock Holmes?
1-Old-Man
(2,667 posts)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
(115,681 posts)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".

(2,667 posts)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.

(135,425 posts)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!

(135,425 posts)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.

He's a fast learner.

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

(17,651 posts)It's almost like he's faking or playing a role.
He looks bored.
Would he have been medicated by a doctor?
obamanut2012
(26,165 posts)A lot more than in the shots they showed on TV.

(17,651 posts)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
(39,333 posts)and they just said he hasn't had that exam yet.
Maybe he is in withdrawal from Vicodan

(17,651 posts)I guess as time goes on we'll find out more information.

(4,291 posts)Never saw that info. Is there a link to a story about this? Thanks.

(9,766 posts)His lawyers probably want him to look as batshit crazy as possible.
Mission accomplished.
flamingdem
(39,333 posts)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..

(4,178 posts)not competent to stand trial and he won't even need the insanity defense.
MadHound
(34,179 posts)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.

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