More than two dozen Holmes-related Tumblr pages have sprouted up since the shooting. Referring to themselves as "Holmies," many supporters use the suspect's pictures in avatars. Most of the bloggers are teenagers, sharing and reblogging mugshots and signs that say "I Love The Holmies."
Tumblr users such as FreeHolmes urge fans to write to Holmes -- including in the page a link to the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office inmate mail procedures. The blog's subhead reads, "This is going to be 90% pictures and I must admit I'm on James side." On the page, there's a collection of James Holmes GIFs, caricatures and fan-made comics.
Tumblr user JamesHolmesLover86 explains participation in the trend: "As a James Holmes supporter, I do not support what he did. I support him in the sense that I feel bad for him and that his mental state was not in the right place. People are so quick to judge him when there’s probably a lot more going on then what we know about."

Takes all kinds? I imagine there were people who were sympathetic to Klebold & Harris.
Especially if they suspect something like brain cancer affected his judgement.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
Yeah, I saw about that a couple days ago. Couldn't bring myself to post it. He most likely is insane and I do feel bad about that but some of those pics and remarks were not about sympathy.
