The Denver Post (paper edition) claimed this morning that James Holmes was awarded $171,024 from the National Instittues of Health for his first year of graduate school at The University of Colorado. Of that, $26,000 was alloted for "personal expenses." However, in their on-line edition, it says, "Holmes' studies were funded in part by a
grant to the university from the Eunice Kennedy Schriver National
Institute of Child Health and Human Development. That $176,000 grant
supports six Ph.D. students for one year. Pre-doctoral students
supported by the training grant receive a $21,600 stipend per year in 12
monthly installments to help defray living expenses." Which is it, Denver Post? Can you please get the story right?
The Dean of the Medical School is quoted by the Post as saying,
"You have to understand that the program
directors are with these students daily. This is not something where
they're saying, 'Oh, maybe I'll see the student in six months,' " he
said. "This is a family. It's a team-building environment. They're very
much in contact with the students in the program.
"Especially with any student that might have any kind of academic or
other difficulty — those are the ones that program leadership would
focus their interest on, more than anyone, the students who are in need
of help."
Good job, Medical School faculty.

Actually, lets take him at his word. So, according to that article, the school was in close touch with the shooter and apparently saw no problems. The plot was ongoing for at least 4 months. Therefore, he's NOT crazy.
Fry the bastard.
Hey! C'mon, this is the Denver Post you're talking about. Getting it right isn't in their job description. In an article the morning after the shooting they told us that 12 people had died, 10 at the scene and four more later in hospitals.
