    Very sad and even worse how the media/ politics will spin it. Dems will say gun controll while the GOP will say something like movie violence and Hollywood. Heck ABC news has already brought up the tea party. Can't we just admit it was a bat shit crazy 24 year old and deal with it.

    http://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2012/07/aurora-abc-draws-possible-tea-party-connection-129568.html

    ABC's Brian Ross reported this morning that there is "a Jim Holmes of Aurora, Colorado, page on the Colorado Tea party site... talking about him joining the Tea Party last year."

    "Now, we don't know if this is the same Jim Holmes," Ross cautioned "but it's Jim Holmes of Aurora, Colorado."

    Already determined it is not the same guy. World class reporting once again.

    14 dead.

    1 kid that i know of, died in surgery.

    i hope the media doesn't make this creep into another legend, making all the crap he did this for known, which is why it continues to happen.

    the only way this person should be known is for the public torture that happens to him, like watching him be slowly pulled apart by some cranes or something.

    make it painful, make it public, and throw away all their writings and ideology, make them silent, and they'd find another way

    Well said. Sickens me that someone could just walk into a theater and start firing in cold blood.

    Damn, this sounds like something that would happen in the Dark Knight. Poor people

    I highly suspect that this is no coincidence. Guy was probably a loner and used this as a way to get recognition. Probably developed a fascination with Heath Ledger's portrayal of the Joker and so on. Just me playing armchair psychologist, could be off base.

  • The suspect booby-trapped his Aurora apartment with sophisticated explosives, Oates told reporters.

    "We are trying to determine how to disarm the flammable or explosive material. We could be here for hours or days," Oates said. "The pictures are fairly disturbing. It looks very sophisticated, how it's booby-trapped. It could be a very long wait."

    Police lifted to his third-floor window by a crane searched the suspect's apartment building with a remote camera.

    Was the Batman movie shooting imitated from scene in 1986 comic? | Oklahoman.com

    The horrific shooting at the screening of The Dark Knight Rises in Colorado late last night bears eerie similarities to a scene in the 1986 comic Batman: The Dark Knight Returns. In the comic, a crazed, gun-toting loner walks into a movie theater and begins shooting it up, killing three in the process. The passage concludes with the media blaming Batman for inspiring the shooting, though he is not involved in the incident at all.

    We cannot get ahold of her to see if her son was a victim

    have they released the minor victims' names anywhere?

    I'm a bit old school but I can never pass a ladder without climbing it or jump over a barrel that has been thrown at me by a gorilla.

    Books, Movies, Songs, Video games, news on television all have pushed people over the edge...not sure why you would want to use this thread to try to be cute in though.

    I wasn't trying to be cute. Some people just crazy. No book, movie, song, or video game will make a normal person do things like this. Saying otherwise isn't being smart.
