Just reading about this...there was a moment in time where people thought the sound of gunshots were actually in the movie....scary chit

Death toll at 12 I think. 24 year old in custody.

What a tragedy, even kids.

I couldn't have said it any better. This world is getting crazier every day.

when I read the first-hand witness accounts this morning my stomach was in knots. Kids being carried out...WTF is wrong with people.

I was just in Aurora, CO... I can't understand what it is about Colorado and massacres. So sad...

something in the water? Doubtful?
Because after Columbine School shootings
there were more plots to do essentially
the same thing elsewhere.

So you then have to question....
What was the common denominator
and i "think" you already know.

[Rockport24]

What a terrible terrible thing, thoughts and prayers to all the families...

I thought a lot of people concealed carry in CO, too bad nobody was able to put this psycho down before the damage was done, although the guy was heavily armored I guess.. what a effin nightmare.

Along with FB, x3.

[Saltheart]

To just go in and start blasting unknown people at random is hard to fathom. Wanted a moment of fame? What can you do to a guy like this that is horrible enough punishment to prevent the next nut case from doing it?

[PaulS]

Just read that one of the victims survived a mass shooting in Toronto this past June.

[The Dad Fisherman]

Yeah I read that too.....she tried to talk a few friends into going with her to the movies this time but they didn't go.

Ya know, call me a radical freak, but I think we need to bring back public torture and execution. Strap this bastard down and disembowel him for all to see and listen to his screams as he watches his intestines get ripped out, then slowly bleed to death. Somehow I think no one would dare pull the #^&#^&#^&#^& he pulled if they knew that this could happen to them.

I'm always undecided on what is worse, execution or making them live 24 hours a day w/o any interaction, etc. No arguement from me either way. Unfit to ever interact with humans.

Hey, I've been in support of the death penalty since I knew what it was.

[Nebe]

What really pisses me off is the attention the media gives this crap..

You guys want to hear something crazy? My son's moms's nephew won a few tickets to see this very Movie in CO.. They all decided at the last minute to pass and went to sleep instead.
Thank god they made that choice.

[Swimmer]

What pisses me off, at least after the fact, is the politicians who angle face time in front of the cameras and use the tragedy to thier advantage.

Other than that, remember the jungle movies when we were kids. The white bwana would get captured and they would tie his four extremities to four different bent over trees. Then the natives would cut the ties to the trees and the arms and legs would be ripped off. The perp deserves this and more.
