"Abbiamo così svalutato la vita umana nella nostra società che per molti è una cosa piccola di uccidere un'altra persona."

Police have labeled a mass murder plot in Maryland as a possible copycat attempt of the Dark Knight Rises massacre in Colorado.

Neil Prescott, 28, referred to himself as “a joker” like the theatre killer in Aurora, Colorado. Prescott called his employer and said he was coming in to “shoot the place up” after finding out that he was about to be fired, according to police sources.

Prescott, who a source called “emotionally disturbed”, reportedly had a large weapons cache in his home when taken into custody. Police reported more than 20 guns and over 400 rounds of ammunition.

Prince George’s County Police have Prescott at a medical center in Annapolis undergoing a psychological evaluation.
