http://www.cnn.com/2012/07/24/justice/colorado-theater-shooting/index.htmlAurora, Colorado (CNN) -- The suspect in last week's deadly shooting rampage at a crowded Colorado movie theater boobytrapped his apartment with more than 30 homemade grenades and 10 gallons of gasoline, a law enforcement official who viewed video from inside the apartment told CNN Monday night.
The sophisticated set up at the sparsely furnished Aurora home of James E. Holmes was meant to harm, or possibly kill, anyone who entered -- and tested the skills of bomb squad members charged with clearing it.
"Imagine that fireball ... you would have an explosion that would knock down the wall of (nearby) apartments," the official said. "That flame would have consumed the entire third floor (of the apartment complex)."
"By the time a fire truck would have arrived, they would have arrived to a building that would have been completely consumed in flames."

I hope he rots in a box till he dies. They should gather family videos and photos of the victims that are played outside his cell every day nonstop to show what the consequences are to the lights he took out of the world so callously.

the graduate program.
Apparently if he couldn't live there, no one else was going to live there either.
What a twisted scumbag.
