Obama gave "joker" $26k

How nice, those guns that killed a dozen people were bought with government welfare.

Welfare??? Are you retarded. The GRANT was to study neuroscience! That is a worthy and great investment for this country. Others who get these grants will go on to do great things for America and mankind.

Welfare is giving money to lazy people who don't want to look for a job and many times are on drugs. That's a BAD investment.

Grants for science programs are a GREAT program and we should give more of them. Just too bad in this case it went to a nutjob!

Still, maybe if he had to rely on scholarships and student loans, he might not have taken to shooting people. When you're just given money, it fosters an attitude of entitlement. An attitude of entitlement is psychopathic.

A welfare queen with 9 kids who keeps her house clean isn't lazy.

Maybe he didn't want to look for a job, after all, he said he wanted one yet didn't have one.
 

So what are you saying, NIH grants cause homocidal rampages? :cuckoo:

Obviously he couldn't handle it, that's why he dropped out and went crazy. :tongue:

No, its just another example of why government shouldn't be in the education business.

Can't be the guns, so it's got to be the education. Gotcha!

Grants aren't welfare, they're payment for working in a research lab. :cuckoo:

Explains this thread.......
 
Another great investment by our government with our tax dollars.....


WNEW News reports that Holmes was awarded a prestigious grant from the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland. NIH is part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

It gave the graduate student a $26,000 stipend and paid his tuition for the highly competitive program in Neuroscience at the University of Colorado in Denver.

Obama did not give it to him. He applied as was chosen for a grant....that very few are given. That in and of itself is rather impressive of the whack job.

And if he had not gone nuts.... it would have been a good investment. He was very
intelligent.

Bundy was intelligent, Rollings & Wuornos, not very intelligent. More generalizations in the struggle to understand what we cannot fathom.
 
But how many borderline-whackos who could have gone psycho killer but instead became brilliant innovative scientists because of government education grants were there?

Far more success stories from education grants than this one mass murderer example.
 
When did he get the grant?

I doubt that Obama knew anything at all about it.

I think the guy who approved it was a republican, Tea Party member.

:D

The article does not even say when the guy got the money LOL
 

I suspect Obama had absolutely nothing to do with the decision. It really isn't helpful to pretend otherwise. It makes you look like a hack.

Of course he didn't personally make the decision. But whenever anything good comes from the government (like "saving" GM) Obama gets credit, so why not in this case?

Because we should not politicize it... its a tragedy that deserves some civility for a change.

It's about as crazy as saying the second amendment causes them.
 
Would he have gotten the money if someone had known he was going to use it to build an arsenal? Of course not. Just like no one knew he was crazy enough to shoot up a theater.

They can pay him an hourly wage to work in a research lab.

This grant is money to live on, while he gets a free doctorate.

There's no such thing as a "free doctorate". There's lots of work that goes into it and people have to eat.
They didn't earn those doctorates. Someone else did.
