James Holmes Survivor 'Batman' Shooter Deserves SLOW, PAINFUL DEATH


"Batman" shooter James Holmes doesn't just deserve the death penalty ... he deserves the worst, most painful death possible -- so says one of the survivors of the massacre.

22-year-old Carli Richards -- whom Holmes shot in the back with a shotgun -- tells TMZ, "I think death by firing squad would be totally justified ... Just injecting him is painless."

She says, "I had enough needles in me that night to know that a needle isn't that bad. I want him to see what it feels like ... I wish someone would shoot him and let him bleed out."

She adds, "He shot me with stuff they use to shoot birds and deer. I want him to feel what it's like to feel that helpless."

Thankfully, Carli and her boyfriend made it to safety before Holmes could kill them -- but Carli says she's still in a lot of pain, and can't go back to work yet with her current injuries.



Carli is the second person affected by the massacre to call for Holmes' death. TMZ broke the story yesterday, the husband of a woman killed in the shooting also demanded the death penalty.

It's worth nothing because prosecutors have said they will only consider pursuing the death penalty with support from the victims' families.

Holmes was charged Monday with 142 crimes stemming from the Colorado shooting -- including 24 1st degree murder counts, and 116 counts of attempted murder.

If he's found guilty of 1st degree murder, he faces the death penalty by lethal injection.

How did our society produce a James Holmes?


Not difficult really.

It is a known fact throughout the shocked world that America has long been a growing war freak from the time they’ve been fighting the native American Indians and seizing their ancestral lands.

Another factor is the Second Amendment in the United States Constitution. It is supposed to protect the right of the people to keep and bear arms. It was adopted on December 15, 1791, along with the rest of the Bill of Rights.

This amendment may have been valid in the early days of frontier life when lawlessness reigned and the country was with wild animals. But in today’s civilized society, the second amendment is not as relevant, and yet war freaks condoned by the National Rifle Association still persist. The NRA always wins every attempt to amend or remove this provision.

To make matters worse, America imports violent video games that endorse all kinds of mayhem and brutality. All this is supposed to provide “entertainment” to youngsters.


Along this line, Hollywood produces movies that glamorize guns and gangsters. In some of these movies, the police and agents of the law are portrayed as the bad guys while the gangsters are the heroes! These producers continue to romanticize violence as the be-all of machismo and heroism and how American soldiers are well trained to kill efficiently.

In the face of all this climate of violence we then find even in the higher echelons of society a seemingly immature model of a war freak: the president of the most powerful country in the world. He knows only to wage war because he does not know how to foster peace. He invades other countries that he wrongly accuses as terrorists with faulty evidences or even planted ones. To make his image look tough in the world he verbally abuses leaders and calls their countries members of the “axis of evil” out to destroy the U.S. He was successful in angering Islamic countries and we saw what happened on 9/11.

So, am I now surprised to read about the Aurora, Colorado shooting? Of course not. And if nothing is done by way of legislation and in formal education, this will surely happen again.

The NaFFAA affiliate in Southern Colorado announced a Filipino teenager is among the victims of the shooting rampage. He was identified as Ryan Lumba, 17, a graduate of Eaglecrest High School. Ryan is the son of Sam and Remy Lumba. He reportedly received shrapnel wounds in the stomach, and is said to be in stable condition. The Filipino American community requests prayers for Ryan and his family.
