Colorado Movie Shooting

In Aurora, Colorado; there's an attack that happened when a person started open firing at a movie theatre, during a midnight showing of The Dark Knight Rises.

Like Harry Potter showings, people were dressed up in costume for the event. Guess that's how the shooter planned it. About a dozen so far have been taken to nearby hospitals.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
