Not that simple, Im afraid. 'Shorting out' is a moments loss of control- lashing out and punching someone in the face. Not what we have here. Even if you go with the MSM version, it took months of cold, calculated planning to pick the target, plan the attack, aquire the weapons, booby trap the flat etc etc.
Its not like he had the weapons lying around, suddenly flipped out and marched down to the cinema for a killing spree. Any version of events, from the full MKUltra-esq conspiracy to lone gunman, requires months of planning- and that is one of the (many) reasons the whole thing stinks.
But really- just start with this one question- If he acted alone how did Holmes get into the cinema? In full assault gear and tooled up the eyeballs with guns, grenades and a gas mask? Think about it........
The 24-year-old bought a ticket to the midnight screening but allegedly left after half an hour to put on the body armor stored in his care before returning to the theater and opening fire.

Most logical explaination ....
The fella has severe mental health problems that were undiagnosed and unattented to prior to the murder. He was in desperate need of medication when the committed the murders. Now that he's under state care .. he's getting that medication. The medication is working and he know understands what he did while he was going diagnosed and untreated. It's a heavy burden I'm sure.

I'll pick my way through it, thanks.
I must admit I did see it at the time but was quickly put off when the apparently unsubstantiated claims started to fly.
Worth another look perhaps!

If you do not think the Government capable of this check out starting about 0.43 here.

This guy was in a coveted program, accepted where very few ever get to go at a young age. he is the kind of man the Government would want working for them. maybe he said no.
Also supposedly Holmes father was set to testify in just a few weeks at a Us senate panel on the largest bank fraud scandal in world history. That threatens to destroy the western banking system...about 1.18 markedit on 15-11-2012 by Char-Lee because: (no reason given)

The guy was in a competitive graduate program, but most other people in the program would be the same age. He flunked his qualifying exam; most likely because his mental illness was imparing him for months.
Sometimes conspiracy theorists need to understand how real life works. Firstly, nowdays, getting a job is difficult. People who need jobs go apply to people who have jobs, not usually the other way around. And if the government were to be "informed" of a very promising younger candidate, it would be from a professor with government contacts at the end of a PhD program or postdoc. If somebody says "no" then hiring managers just look for somebody else. There are plenty of people available. No need to "chip implant" and drive some young man nuts---and if they did (which I do not think is possible), what is the purpose of having this poor sap go out and murder more people? Even if you think the government is intrinsically evil (I do not), what is in it for them?
His father was not going to testify about anything and doesn't have any knowledge of LIBOR scandal.

He bought a ticket, left out the side door, blocked or rigged it not to close properly, got into his "Joker costume" and returned via the side door.

When someone has a psychotic break it is not something that happens in an instant, it takes place over time, so he plotted and planned, look at serial killers, they are capable of intricate planning over long periods of time.

With all the planning and rigging explosives, why leave buying the ticket to the last moment when they actually should have been sold out?

I don't think he was set up at all, personally. I think it's exactly what it looks like and a very very intelligent person blew a fuse or shorted a wire somewhere and turned that intelligence ...or what was left... into a very dark purpose.
* There IS another factor though. His Psych was known, as many are these days, to treat student issues and had a number of other patients besides him. What drugs was he on from that? Things like ADHD drugs can have wildly different effects in aggression, judgement and ability to think clearly. I've watched it with my son and a couple friends. Could drugs SO many others take daily have contributed to what made him what he is now?
Take a look at the videos of him before this happened. he seemed like a fine calm reasonable person. I don't believe he was seeing a psychologist except as part of teaching and training. I don't think there is a shred of truth to any of the story!
12:39 a.m. -- Aurora police say dozens, perhaps hundreds, of calls start flooding 911. The dispatcher calls to units: "They're saying someone is shooting in the auditorium."
Moments later she adds: "There is at least one person shot, but they're saying there's hundreds of people just running around."
Inside the theater, witnesses say the gunman is calmly firing into the crowd. Some of the shots penetrate into a neighboring theater, where witnesses suggest others may have been hit. Witnesses say they see victims slumped on the floor as they flee while others are running out wounded.
12:40 a.m. -- Officers arrive on scene in little more than a minute after the 911 call and request massive backup. "I've got people running out of the theater who were shot," says an officer on a call.
all im saying is, people flip out for all sorts of reasons

I still fail to see how someone can do this extreme level of preperation that has been portrayed in this case..
Then just end up a lobotomised zombie in court. Like seriously?
Calculated planning and execution of said planning is not flipping out. It requires cognitive skills to be functioning.
Not what we saw in Court....
