Mass Shooting at DK premiere in CO!

Disgusting.

Moot point ... but what was a 6yr old child doing watching such a film and at such and hour?

As details came in and in and one attempts to process all this, I admit I had the same thought. What a horrendous tragedy.

Once again insanity shows its ugly face. The guy is indeed an asshole of humongous proportion, but I always kind of feel ashamed just to be human, every time such a thing happens. What the fuck is wrong with us, for our behaviour to have such tendencies to derail like that? I can’t get it…

Eh, shit happens. With the state of the world and the dispositions of the majority of the people in it, I'm only shocked this type of thing doesn't occur more.

This goes beyond just shit… But you’re right, shaustin, and being surprised it doesn’t implies that it could happen more often. That’s pretty much my point, you know; I think in a way we agree...
Just so disheartening…

yes. you'd hope someone so hopelessly troubled would just lock themselves in their apartment and blow their brains out. how could anyone want to kill total strangers who never did anything to them ?

Great. Another thread about the shooting, overshadowed by more bitching about the guy who took his baby to the theater. Why are you guys judging this parent and not the gunman? Hmm?

Complain all you like about the possible lack of judgment of someone to take a baby or a child to a late-nite movie (keeping in mind that in the latter case that the child is on school vaction), but nobody ever says, 'hey, maybe I shouldn't bring them because they might get shot.'

a child to a late-nite movie

Late night violent movie. Who lets a 6 yr old watch that?

Looks like this is only the beggining of things like these to start happen in America. An awakening call to start preparing for these things. Sad News.

An enlightened one. The movie in question is PG-13. My son's nine. We're going to see it tomorrow in IMAX and we're going to have a blast! Who doesn't know how to explain to a child the difference between real and make believe? Who doesn't want to proactively address the moral implications of the subject matter with their families? Lazy parents, that's who. It's really easy to ban a child from something, and quite different to take the time to walk them through it.

And I mean, we're taking about Batman here, not Saw. I saw the first Burton movie when I was 10.

Prepare? You mean attempt to prevent? Like this?



Yeah, I'll pass.
