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. |

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. |

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.

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 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. |

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. |
