As horrible as this tragedy is. Is anybody shocked, in a crowded place with no security where costumes including bullet proof vests, capes, and gas masks are allowed? I blame this squarely on the movie theater that let him in.

There are deranged individuals everywhere.

Nope, because they will, if they haven't started to already.

Interestingly enough, killing someone else without cause is already illegal.

I'm not so sure they could have stopped him Chris. He must've had this planned out as according to the article...

It was unclear how the man got into the theater, but witnesses told CNN affiliate KUSA that he came in through an emergency door.

What's strange to me is that I almost always see police outside of movie theatres, especially at late night showings.

The blame is on 1 person and 1 person only... the sick f*ck that walked in and started shooting people.

It is not the theater's fault, the gun's fault, Batman's fault, or anybody else's fault. It is his. Period.

Century Theaters are owned by Cinemark, who has a no firearms policy in their theaters as far as I know.

The theater I go to here doesn't have that restriction. While the theater may not be blamed, their no firearms policy ensured the attacker had little resistance while he executed his plan. If you want to do a massive attack, go where nobody will be firing back.

OMG! Not again! Maybe they can lock him and the Tuscaloosa shooter in a cell together for a death match.

More so what worries/bothers me, is allowing people into a crowded place in costume, without proper procedures in place to confirm there's no weapons under those costumes.

Obviously, what's needed in America is more guns.

Anyone else notice that the shooter shares the same real first and last name as one of our most popular forum members?

You want the theater to have a dress code? If a person wants to bring a firearm inside a theater, what they are wearing has little to do with it. Baggy jeans, a jacket, a big purse, etc... can conceal things just as easy.

You can make all the rules you want, but you'll never stop things like this from happening. It's just a sad fact of life.

Dress code no? But allow costumes including covering faces and wearing trench coats? Uhh, no thank you. When I see a trench coat in TX, I move the other way, he's up to no good.

This may not pertain specifically to loony tune actors like the Colorado theatre shooter, but a key factor left out of the debate over why terrorists in the U.S. are not hitting soft targets is the impact on fundraising and recruiting.

There is no softer, more panic-inducing target than to attack a few kindergarten classes like the Chechen rebels did several years ago.

However, I imagine it does not play as well with potential donors as would knocking down a tall building or blowing up an airplane.

Movie theaters and shopping malls are probably less off-putting than schools to potential donors, but they also would not likely arouse the passions of potential recruits.
