Ten killed in Denver movie shooting The Dark Knight Rises.

[Ehwmatt]

Obviously there was little to nothing the crowd could have done, they were pretty much doomed unfortunately. A lot of unfortunates about it, but one for sure it's unfortunate that someone wasn't able to secure this fruitcakes liberty for good by shooting him dead.

But really people need to rethink what they consider as entertainment. If you think the footage of people leaving the theater after the shooting was disturbing, don't go watch the movie cause I'm sure what was depicted in parts of the movie were much more graffic and disturbing. Yeah, lets go out and watch a movie shoing people getting shot and killed. Entertaining? Same goes for all those shoot'em up games on Xbox. What's the purpose? What's the entertainment there?

As someone mentioned before somewhere in so many words: when entertainment is watching movies of people killing people, people will kill for entertainment.

The Batman that I used to watch on tv as a little kid, no one was dying in any of those 1966 episodes, not even the bad guys.

Quit playing the blame game. You're no better than liberals who want to blame EVERYONE but the individual when a crime is committed. You're just scapegoating different animals.

This guy is about my age (couple years younger) and undoubtedly grew up on the same tv, movies, video games, and music that I did. It has nothing to do with culture. The guy is a fucking evil son of a bitch.

And yes, REAL people leaving a movie theater at the scene of a REAL LIFE homicidal massacre soaked in blood, screaming, crying, and dazed in shock is more disturbing than a video game or a movie. If you need help understanding why, go back to 2nd grade... or check into the closest mental hospital.

[The Sushi Hunter]

Not blaming anything or anybody. Just saying, no problem watching it on the screen but when it really happens all of a sudden it's become disturbing to watch. As for the shooter, it's too bad that he wasn't shot dead because now he'll be part of the ongoing financial burden that America is experiencing now.

Yeah, but I still watch it on METV and it makes me laugh. The chick who played Catwoman (Julie Newmar) was a total hot babe! The Riddler seems like a real nutjob but all in all the show was funny and good entertainment.

I never heard any of that before, but I guess it could be possible, but only a few chicks on that show so that must have been far and few in between. Lucy Liu would make a smoking hot Catwoman. Too bad they only have friggin nutjobs as villans in the most recent Batman movies.

You obviously haven't seen the newest movie because Bane is no nutjob.

You know which other franchises are more violent than their predecessors?

James Bond.

Mission Impossible.

G.I. Joe.

I recall a lot of people being blown away in the very first Die Hard, too. They had no qualms about depicting casualties in that flick, nor any of its sequels.

Some feel-good news about some classy NFL players in an offseason filled with more scummy players/acts than I can remember:

http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/81895 ... s-hospital

[The Sushi Hunter]

In the news they are claiming that prosecutors may try and give him the death penalty. Seriously? That would be great, however, how many people do they not give the death penalty to when they have been deemed insane or mentally ill. The writing is on the wall, this guy's defense will be all about insanity and mental illness. But then again, if he in fact does get the death penalty, what is that? In prison for 20 years to life just waiting for a day that never comes? Look at how many are on death row now and how many years they've been there. They need to speed the process up like Texas has.

Not sure of the laws they can press under, but it would be impressive if they actually were successful in getting the prosecution and conviction - I think we as a society need to make a statement on people like this.

BTW I recently followed up on the Jared Loughner story from recent AZ shooting...ruled insane, but apparently they're trying to get him to stand trial by forced prescription of anti-psychotics. Wow.

(more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jared_Lee_Loughner)

[The Sushi Hunter]

What gets me is anyone who goes in and shoots up people for no reason, they already have mental illness of some type to do that in the first place. It should be irrelavent in this case. I say gas this turkey tomorrow and be done with it already.

What a tragedy!!

People Magazine must have gotten good revenue doing this as their cover story.

[Ehwmatt]

Well... this sure hits close to home.

Last night, some 37-year-old asshole walked into MY movie theater and bought a single ticket to Dark Knight Rises. He was wearing a satchel, and a suspicious manager alerted the off-duty police officer at the theater to follow up. Upon confronting and searching him shortly after he was seated IN THE MOVIE, they found that the satchel contained (a) a Glock, (b) 2 spare magazines, and (c) 3 knives.

http://www.cleveland.com/westlake/index ... er_default

This theater is literally the only theater I've gone to (except when I was seeing movies at college or away on vacation) since I was probably 8 or 9 years old (i.e., since it opened). And I was just there last week with my lady seeing The Dark Knight Rises.

Right now, the facts are definitely thin and the story is still developing. So, I'm really hoping that as the story develops, we'll find this was some mistake or at worst, some guy overly afraid of harm at the movie theater. If he ONLY had a gun on him, I'd lean that way. But given that he was seeing the movie alone, brought all that shit in a separate bag, and had not just a gun, but also spare ammo and knives, leads me to believe he had bad intentions. The spare ammo part is the nail in the coffin for me.

Anyway, it's high time we no longer allow public places to opt out of otherwise lawful concealed carry laws. I'd feel reasonably safe if I could carry my own gun in a theater, mall, etc. But now? No way. This guy just desecrated my movie theater.

[Gideon]

Yikes, that's a close call Matt. Glad you made it out all right. Got any buddies in the DA's office to make this guy's life a nightmare?

More facts have emerged. They searched his home and found what they describe as "survivalist gear," including bulletproof vests, 8 rifles, and gas masks. And to make things weirder, this dude is apparently married and has a little girl. Sounds like the theater that is basically in my backyard (I can easily walk there from my place) dodged a tragic situation last night.

I'd say this movie brought out the crazies...but then we just had an unrelated crazy fuck shoot up a Shikh temple in Wisconsin on SUnday...but let's not talk about Gun Control...ok

Guns aren't the problem. Blaming it on the gun is like blaming spoons for making Rosie O'Donnell fat.

And how many were killed by means other than a gun by people such as Jeffrey Dahmer, Leonard Lake, Charles Ng, over how much time? People are going to kill other people if that's what they want to do, regardless of the type of weapon is readily available to them. If you take away firearms, they will just come up with another type of weapon to use. And yeah, they won't be able to kill ten people in one swift pop, but they will change up the game and do it in a more silent approach, over time way, just like how the people mentioned above did it.

I dunno man. I'm willing to talk about gun control and ramping it up at only one point: the transaction point. Anecdotal evidence suggests it's far too easy to acquire guns. I'd be open to discussing more transactional safeguards on purchasing and selling guns. It definitely wouldn't stop all the idiots from getting guns, but hey, maybe it would stop just 1 James Holmes. But any such restrictions shouldn't unduly burden my right to own a gun, either (e.g., if they want to impose say a psychological exam or some other advanced background check, it shouldn't take me more than a month to acquire a gun for home defense or whatever other legal purpose I need/want it for).

But that's not what the typical gun control advocates have tried to do. Instead, they have tried to outright trample Second Amendment rights (e.g., by imposing draconian gun registration requirements that also completely prohibit handguns from being registered and thus effectively banning most practical gun ownership in Chicago; by requiring all guns IN THE HOME to be stored disassembled, unloaded, and under "trigger lock" in DC, etc.). First, those kinds of restrictions are overly broad vis-a-vis the Second Amendment. Second, what good would those kinds of regulations have done in these recent cases? That's right, none. Best case scenario, they hamper innocent victims' ability to defend themselves in their homes, cars etc from criminals. Best case. And that's obviously bad.

The only meaningful gun control worth hoping for is stopping the guns from getting into bad hands in the first place. And that's never going to be completely accomplished.

Hence why I think it's silly for a state like Ohio (and most other concealed carry states I know of) to allow public places to "opt out" of an otherwise firmly established statutory right to carry a concealed weapon by posting signs. All that does is prevent me from having my gun handy when a nut like James Holmes walks into the movie theater or mall I'm at with my family.

Unless you want to get to the point where you're passing through metal detectors to not only do things like fly on an airplane or go to a movie theater, but to also simply buy a bushel of bananas or a pack of cough drops at the grocery store (and undoubtedly, some liberals would love that), gun control should not and CANNOT mean trammeling innocent citizens' right to protect themselves. Because sometimes, the "benevolent" police or government don't always get there on time.

Its more than just opinion. It's basic common sense and fact. Do a search of all of Dahmer's victims, not one was shot. 17 murdered by way of drugged and strangled/slashed with knifes behind closed doors is how it was done. How many victims of Leonard Lake and Charles Ng where killed by means other than with a firearm? And yes, blaming guns is like blaming spoons for making Rosie O'Donnell fat. That's not opinion speaking, that's fact.

I was sort of shocked to see this guy in the news again. And how long ago did this happen? It's like the chick he shot will die of old age before this guy even goes to trail for sending a bullet through her noggin. That's friggin rediculous, especially a case like this where there's absolutely no question as to who the shooter is/was.

Nope, they decided to house and feed him for the rest of his life...isn't that nice. I bet the Colorado scumbag will get the same deal
