I am a Joker fan… Probably, I’m am one of the most fervent (and craziest) Joker fan in the world since I have created this site dedicated just to him, uand what happened in Aurora Colorado during the midnight view of the Dark Knight Rises has me outraged and I could not keep shut.
How in the world, James Holmes dares call himself “the Joker” and do this abominable act of violence? I find out that impossible to comprehend and I don’t have a bit of respect for this nut case. There is no excuse to hurt people. My dislike for him, has escalated to undescribable levels and his actions leaves me with a heavy weight on my soul.
WE, Joker fans are spread through out the world. We encompass every race, every creed, sexual orientation, every walk of life. We work with our communities, we might be the nurse or doctor who cares for you in the hospital, or the teacher who teaches in you school, maybe the father (or mother) that cares of her loving family, even your best friend, but you will NEVER SEE ANY OF US shooting innocent people or blowing up places, because we know what is rigth and what is wrong and above the difference between reality and fantasy.
And I want the world to understand…just because we like a character like the Joker does not make us psychos.
We understand this is a fictional character, nothing more and also understand many of the things he does are not right, but we are not any different from those fans of Voldemort or Snape from Harry Potter, Darth Vader from Star Wars, Hannibal Lecter, even Twighlight’s Edward or Hello Kitty. There are just some things about him that appeal to some of us but that does not make us bad people. And just so you know…
James Holmes IS NOT A JOKER FAN.
He is a very disturbed individual, a sociopath with no sense of apathy for his fellow men. I feel somewhat sorry for his family, for they will carry the stigma of what he did, but also ask myself…didn’t anybody saw signs of what this man was capable of doing? These guys have a great deal of difficulty dealing with the world around them. They are very angry and I can infer in Mr. Holmes’ case, he’s also hurting….from reasons I might never know and decided that others needed to hurt as much he is. And he didn’t care who it was hurting as long as they hurt too. They wanted the others to see his pain and he chose a very violent way of doing it.This does not excuse his actions, which should be punished according to law, but there should be also a lesson that this man might have been asking to be heard, long before he went as far as killing fellow people.
He is not the rule of the fandom, he is an exception.
And Finally,
The JOKER’S LAIR wants to emphasize that this place exists only the purpose of entertain, the Joker being the focus of our fandom, but in a non violent atmosphere. We do not condone violence in any way or directed to any life forms and we condemn any act of violence, especially this one that should have been avoided. The LAIR is saddened by the loss of 12 innocent lives. I, Jokerlady , moderator of this site want to say that my heart goes to the victims (fellow Batfans and maybe Jokerfans too) and their families and I really lament that a night of fun and adventure, turn into a nightmare for the acts of a disturbed individual like James Holmes. I understand your peain, and I offer you my heart in this sad moment to try and ease your pain.
To those gone, you will not be forgotten and to those that survived but were touched closely by this tragedy, receive my love and my extended hand in friendship. My thoughts are with you all in this sad moment.
