'Dark Knight' massacre suspect 'obsessed' with US' most notorious killer 'Unabomber' | | James Holmes, who is alleged to have opened fire during a packed midnight
screening of Batman film 'The Dark Knight Rises,' in the US, was obsessed with one of
America's most notorious killers, it has emerged. According to the gunman's near neighbour
and occasional drinking partner Pete King, Holmes "idolised" Ted Kaczynsky, 'Unabomber',
the self-styled "Neo-Luddite survivalist" who terrorised America with a mail bomb campaign.
"He spoke about the Unabomber a few times as if he were some kind of local hero," The
Daily Express quoted King, as saying. "I knew James as a shy,
inward guy but his eyes would light up when he talked about 'Ted', who he referred
to as a 'misunderstood genius," he said. "How could anyone have guessed that such
a loner would turn into an even bigger monster than his hero?" he added. Holmes,
24, allegedly set off a smoke bomb and killed nearly 12 people during the screening
of the new Batman movie at movie hall in Denver.
