Well and the you know unfortunately I think the -- -- the following profile he is the guy that's.

Obviously extremely bright.

Honors in undergraduate school had gotten to a very difficult Ph.D.

program.

Was known sort of being quiet a bit of a loner.

And it appears we don't have the details yet that in the last -- least several months become more and more isolated quit school.

-- mind that -- gets this part probably become a more delusional.

And paranoid.

And what happens the combination of all of those things and I'm also going to guests.

There's going to be some sort of chemical imbalance issue with him I suspect.

That they withdraw.

And then -- believed that the rest of us are the enemy.

And that the only way that they can regain their -- power over the life has delivered as -- sounds.

Is to do a mass killings.

And there methodical they plan at long term this.

Changes have been plan -- at least for months sort of buying ammunition and weapons that we we know of back to may.

Did this -- intricate wiring of the department to -- further kill law enforcement as they would arrive at his house.

You know with the perception that he -- -- -- the scene with that but you know.

But fortunately that didn't work -- fortunately.

For some moderation he told them that -- -- the apartment.

There was some indication.

That he was -- May be delusional man up my pleasure and all of leveraged.

-- the bat man -- some -- master found an apartment.

Well not I think what happened is that he took on the -- -- apparently of the Joker.

And I believe he wanted to become part of the movie he wanted to be the Joker which is -- arch nemesis of -- man.

And -- in supposedly real evil character that this enjoys killing people.

And clearly based on witness's description.

Homes inside that -- he was being methodical he had a weapon -- dropped it.

He re loaded.

If he had more body armor on and I've ever seen in all the body armor -- -- thirty years in law enforcement I mean he clearly did not want to be killed at the scene.

It is analyst prepared that this stand his ground until there was nobody else -- No way -- tunnel project director.

Recent news consult -- lifted out of -- -- -- -- you can solution there are no wallet no way to -- -- -- remain.

Well -- period you're right here is the problem.

Would somebody sees signs of sort of odd behavior any answers yes I mean they get to the guy who rank and was running again range made a comment about what that.

What a bizarre.

Voicemail -- Adam's son -- is that against the law of course not.

Apparently his mother must have been seeing things because what was the first words out of her mouth when ABC colder.

On priority was you've got -- right guy would mom's gonna say that -- she's got some sort of history.

-- are sort of falling off the middle helped train.

Need the number of months.

All the wonderful school movement -- and -- -- it's tough decision.

You know I I doubt it because he was so quiet.

Scene.

Clearly that's not found a footprint like other people like him on the Internet -- -- for show at Virginia Tech he was another introverted.

Loner kind of kid.

But he did -- -- he also did have mental health documented mental health history.

But I'm not sure the -- that dissimilar in regard to their anger their rage and their belief that the only way they can regain.

Any control over their life.

It's basically to kill as many of this is we -- So enormously frustrated I'm sure you soon.

-- is for.

Or for -- and I'm confident others.

Because all we're generally -- speculate about all listeners not to -- Institutions as many things but I don't know if that tells -- durable than just -- -- fundamental indications might -- for cylinders -- -- stupid.

Well well that's -- I mean is the way the laws basically written.

Is that -- make explicit threats that you're going to do like something like this in advance.

There's this little law enforcement continue because obviously it's not against the law he bought all of the weapons but -- magazines all the body armor illegally either in person or over the Internet.

You know some -- we should do something about that there's pros and cons -- of that statement is.

But.

But yes -- -- and unfortunately I you're exactly right to deal with these threats all the time against.

High profile people.

People on Capitol Hill except her.

But they wouldn't go to the point where I'm -- -- -- virtue.

Stock Q.

And there's not less must not much you can do about it until the explicit threat is there and unfortunately guys like this with exception of the few.

Don't get that explicit.

Cardinal Brad DR -- -- -- -- -- knows consultant and a mr.

-- spent -- Thirty years.

In and around him FBI and so on you know off this very -- sausage.

Bigger issues and you've done Mormon AM on the fall Reynolds done.

I've done both I mean -- -- the phone -- that the person is on the other side the door.

May be a building a way.

The yet try not to be too lenient than in person -- that violence is just on the what you're going to do I've done a couple of them standing behind a shield the swat team and hallway.

And -- guy came -- they would take care of them but.

That there -- did you you know eyeball to eyeball.

What's interesting.

All you have fail and an -- non threatening Boris.

Which are almost -- players and to.

Gotta talk somebody and those -- upper whatever you wanna try to get a -- -- -- for example over the first initial ruled.

Trade center bombing suspect -- you -- a confession out of him.

Well he's -- -- because he wanted to talk about his.

That behavior because.

He won the world and it would he'd done because -- just proud of it.

This a number of terrorist -- guys that's philosophically driven their behavior.

You wanna sort of lived to tell about obviously some of them dying as martyrs suicide bombers eccentric but -- been my experience and a lot of grumbling woman -- About what they've done it would damage they've caused the west.

I think.

-- -- -- at least back then -- that profile.

So or -- but if he translated over to mr.

Holmes and you know he it appears we -- of The Beatles -- his arrest.

But it appears he didn't give the police any resistance.

Outside of that the back -- the theater.

As well I think it made a couple things to me down one is that.

I've never been mentioned earlier -- I've never seen anywhere that much body -- even -- and -- -- body armor.

Much like you could take a number of hits.

And keep going and so I -- I don't think he wanted to die I think he wanted to bask for whatever reason.

Into what he had done.

I think the apartment the wiring up the apartment he knew he was not going back there either he was gonna die at the scene.

Or get away.

And go someplace else to daddy's gonna kill more people kill people in the building and predictably kill the police unfortunately.

-- have to torture anybody to get on the compulsion.

I know and I don't believe it actually of viable no choice they get information fund.

Well I don't know about that -- -- your funds and -- -- some able to address send us to do is on the torturing her.

But I'm sure -- will be coming when he.

Text of these prison population and were punished and have level wonder if this one of this -- character and it -- Colorado and -- faced the death totally monitor -- census Corcoran who would have done -- -- -- is that any motivation.

They're holding now now it.

Usually what these tactics I mean if you're willing to go in and indeed -- a mass casualty situation.

You could care less because.

Most of these guys get wind up dine -- many of them did either kill themselves or.

The police have.
