Colorado Movie Shooting
 

I heard about it on the radio. At least 14 confirmed dead and 50 injured. What the hell is wrong with people these days?

F*cking terrible. I was on such a high, and this mess ruined it. Horrible.

They've been talking about it on The Today Show. Just horrible and sad. What would possess someone to do something like this? At least the guy's been caught, and I really hope he gets the death penalty for this. My thoughts and condolences go out to the victims of this horrible act.

absolutely tragic :(

I just read that one of the victims was 6 years old. :(

What the hell....

And a 3 month old infant was shot too in that theater...this is all just messed up.

Whoever did this should be electrocuted; I don't care what his excuse is or what defense lawyer comes up with, just strap him to a chair and shoot a million volts in him.

Not even, just shoot the f*cking guy.

I'm 100% in favor of the death penalty in theory, but the way it's done is all wrong. Liberals are always telling me it costs more to execute a criminal than it does to keep him alive in jail for the rest of his life. Which I don't get at all; bullets are cheap as f*ck. I know we don't shoot people on Death Row but we should.

Here's how to save some taxpayer dollars: Set a date. Pick like 15-20 death row inmates, have 'em kneel down in a yard, walk down the line, and put one bullet in the back of each one's head execution-style. Simple, easy, effective, and cheap. Do it once a month and watch our overcrowded prison system solve itself.

Seriously, the fact that it costs more to keep worthless pieces of sh*t alive than it does to execute them isn't a reason not to kill them, it's a sign that our method of execution must be needlessly complicated and expensive.

Personally, I think it's a total lie made up by some criminal-coddling activist. There is no way ANY execution method - electrocution, firing squad, gas chamber - how can ANY of them cost more than provided someone 20-50 years worth of food, clothing, medical care, and cable TV? Impossible. People will just say anything to avoid the unpleasant reality that some people just don't deserve to live, period. We've become afraid of punishment, and bad people know this and exploit it. Why let them?

Oh my God. :( That is so shocking, it's awful how many horrible things humans do to each other. My thoughts go out to anyone who was hurt that night and their loved ones, wishing them a fast recovery.

Same here. I'm glad I got to see the movie, I've heard theaters are cancelling showings because of this. One nut has ruined it for everyone.

Thats so sad, I don't know why people do these things....:(

I keep getting conflicting reports about the month-year old baby that was caught in the crossfire. I hope it's alright.

PS, just TRY listening to the Batman Forever soundtrack after this. Creepy.

thats the question i've been trying to figure out for years.

Agree completely

Why did someone bring a 6 year old and a 3 month infant to a midnight showing?

Horrible thing with lots of back lash to come, say goodbye to most midnight viewings :(

Not making light by any means but who the hell has a baby at a midnight showing of the film anyways.....I see teens and preteens to a degree but Jesus leave the baby's at home so others don't have to listen to them.

ppl these days can be really creepy sometimes.

S*it.

I come back from seeing the movie and first thing I hear is this....

My thoughts are with the family and friends of those who suffered at the hands of this a**hole and if any of you have seen his picture, you'd have a hard time differentiating him from the Joker since he's actually smiling, almost as if he's proud of what he's done.

Screw you, man.

i was wondering the same thing

death to creapy ppl!

This is such sad news, my heart goes out to those who were injured, their families and loved ones.

~S~

I was getting all ready for the movie for tonight as some people on here know I cosplay as Joker; now they are banning any costumed looks because of that jerk. My thoughts and prayers are with the families of this tragic and I hope that jacka** gets what he deserves.

Here costumes are ok as long as they don't have masks or weopons. Only thing I noticed security wise was a couple guards hanging out at the bus depot. Otherwise nothing different. My theatre is always extra secure cuz it's across the street from City Hall/Court House.... Plus everyone around here is on extra guard anyways cuz there's an air show this weekend.

Milehighcomics,the largest comic shop retailer in the nation is located just 25 miles away from the shooting. Chuck, the founder and president is offering a 60 percent off code on more than 8 million back issues over the next 7 days and will donate about 20% of it to the victims families. If you have an issue to fill in the next week order from them to help contribute to funds. The codeword is helpheal.

True. Batman sat next to me during the second half of Batman:The Dark Knight before disappearing. Other than a 20ish guy in a halloween costume based off the film series I did not see anyone else in anything aside from Batman related shirts,myself included.

This is such a terrible tragedy!:tsad: I can't believe that some psycho would do this! Those people affected by this are in my prayers!

This situation makes me afraid to go to the movies.

I was so sad to hear about this yesterday. Such a sad thing to hear.:tcry:

Such a horrible tragedy. My prayers will go out to the victims. :cry:

This is just awful. Unfortunately instead of taking the problem at its root (stricter gun control) this will only lead to short sighted solutions by the film industry like the costume ban and security checks in cinemas or completely non-sensical bullsh*t like WB pulling ads for the Dark Knight Rises.

Yeah, seriously. They need to have stricter laws on who can own a gun. The only crime this guy was charged for before this was a lousy speeding ticket. I've heard so many stories about the survivors and victims. There were two people who actually took bullets for their girlfriends. Such brave individuals.

You seriously believe gun control laws prevent things like this from happening? You really need to do more research than watching Jon Stewart.

Once again you have enlightened me, thank you so much.

The guy dyed his hair red and claimed he was The Joker when in reality The Joker's hair is green, not red. I guess the guy didn't do his proper research.

Actually, I've heard that after they got into his apartment (after clearing the booby traps) they found a bunch of Batman merch in his room.

....Yeah.

Surprisingly, I agree with this comment. I don't own a gun myself, but the only reason this dude pulled off what he did was because he had zero opposition from the people he was firing on (i.e. no one, to my knowledge, had a concealed weapon to fire back). These people were essentially fish in a bowl, and faced with a small a$$hole behind big guns.

I went to see the movie yesterday. I was expecting a packed house, but judging by the lack of attendance it's clear this idiot has scared folks from going to the theater. Sure what he did scares me, but I'm not going to let it stop me from living my life, and either should you.

There are a number of websites and forums where gun control is discussed, if you want to know more.

Gun control in America is a topic I actually teach about in school so advice from the likes of you doesn't mean that much to me.

hang this ****er by his balls!
