Another nut in a country with a population of... how many million people, 330 - 360?
It's a wonder how these kinds of incidents don't occur with regularity.
I wonder what type(s) of antidepressant meds this guy was on, you know, that's the side of the story they never tell us about, the pattern of shoot 'em up guys and their prozac Rx. Hush - hush now, :nono: for 1) Phizer happens to be big advertisers on the big media scene (good job security for media types), 2) my phizer stock is doing great and 3) prozac makes me feel kool... or so I think.
Hush - hush! The guns are the problem, yes, yes.
RIP to those who had there lives cut short because of this one single mentally deranged individual.

Hello Sexy girl how your Toes doing?
Why does this kind of things only happens in the US ?
Oh yeah, I know : 2nd amendment
Like one poster already pointed out about the mass shootings in other countries, where supposedly guns are banned. :eek: yet, if there not using guns there using bombs, IED's, lethal chemicals, and other devices that actually kill way more people than a gun would. apples and oranges. :2 cents:
An entire theater full of people, and no one else was armed...
Exactly normally if I am going to the movie theater in my hood, I figure I am safe and I don't need to carry a gun, I would carry if I was going into an area I wasn't familiar with, but thats a different story, now just like going to your local McDonalds some fucking :douchebag: could walk in and start blasting. :dunno:
I know you and I usually are on the same side and the same ballpark with most subjects, but no bullshit, I am like the guy in the "Bourne Ultimatum" I look @ all the exits, survey the surroundings and surmise who looks like a trouble maker etc.. thats just my MO cuz I don't trust people to begin with, and yeah I sit facing the entrance so I can see who's coming and going etc.. (I am by NO means Mr. gungho hero man, I am just
of EVERYBODY when I am in public, and as a matter of fact I do sit in the back (top row) of the movie theater when I go to the show, and believe you me, if I did have my gun with me, I only have it for one reason and thats to protect myself, and if I were sitting in that theater I would have died trying to kill that GUNMAN or I would have been a hero, not cuz I am trying to be a hero, just because, I wanna live, and if I see some A$$ Stain get up and start shooting, I might hit the floor @ 1st, but I would try to disarm the guy. thats just me. I am not a hero, or a wanna be hero, I am just a guy trying to live and protect myself, and if I see a guy shooting innocent people for no reason, you better believe I'm gonna shoot that MF'er if I can!!! you can believe me or not, but thats why I and allot of other people carry there guns/sidearms. :yesyes::2 cents:

Bravery would be to actually remain standing and take this thing to trial, m i rite
Seriously, the act of taking your own life takes tremendous guts, there's nothing cowardly about that at all, nothing!

Is somewhere outhere.
The question for me is,will he get the death penalty or a room in the nuthouse :dunno:
a tragedy indeed, now the phonies on capitol hill will rush in to blame the 2nd amendment just a few weeks shy of trying to get the US to sign on to the U.N. Gun Treaty Ban, but lets not talk about the illegal gun running operation of Fast and Furious which has been responsible for a number of deaths as well SMH this nut was the one who killed not the firearms by themselves and why is it that all of these massacres keeping happening in Colorado (Columbine anyone)
funny how cnn most of the time are the first ones with there nose in it.
here the local news latest 71 injured 12 dead http://www.9news.com/

Recluse: Holmes went to high school in San Diego where his parents still live
Weapons of choice: He had a Colt AR-15 Tactical Carbine and .40 caliber glock handgun (file pictures)
He also had a Remington 870 Marine Magnum (pictured) with him, and another glock in his car
There are eerie similarities between the massacre at the Aurora multiplex during a showing of The Dark Knight Rises and a sequence in a seminal 1986 comic book
In the second issue of Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns a crazed gunman stands up in the middle of a Batman-inspired porn movie and opens fire inside the crowded theater
this stinks of something rotten for sure, apparently this twig was able to kick in those heavy metal doors which only open one way outward SMH

My thoughts and prayers are with the familys that lost a love one and I hope the guy that did it gets waht coming to him

Exactly! One more point that if someone was armed there there is no guarantee of a clear shot. That's why fuckhead Laughner is still alive. The one guy couldn't get a clear shot. I wish I could have been there in that theatre but glad I wasn't. I would have changed his mind with at least one 185 grain FTX bullet! I always carry everywhere I go except for in Gov't bldgs where it's a federal crime to.Like one poster already pointed out about the mass shootings in other countries, where supposedly guns are banned. :eek: yet, if there not using guns there using bombs, IED's, lethal chemicals, and other devices that actually kill way more people than a gun would. apples and oranges. :2 cents:

yes indeed if every law abiding citizen attending that showing would have been carrying and concealed I predict the outcome of this tragedy would have been very different, banning all firearms will not stop the criminals from obtaining illegal firearms and committing violent crimes, just look at Chicago and New York for evidence of this because the fact is that hardcore criminals will always get illegal handguns regardless of a total firearm ban, the answer is more guns in the hands of law abiding citizens, not less

total gun bans don't stop violence, they just allow more thugs to take advantage of the good decent individuals SMH

Why do people assume that nobody else in the theater was armed? It's Colorado, I'm pretty damn sure that guy didn't have the only weapon in the building. I'm in favor of legal firearm ownership, but having a gun in that situation honestly would not have done much defensive good for anybody.
A dark room, at full capacity, apparently full of some sort of gas, and hundreds of people. The only person who had a clear shot was the fucking nut who didn't care who he was shooting at. I am surprised that 100 round ammo drums are still legally available, though, which they shouldn't be.
I believe this lunatic should be allowed due process of the law, and then executed. Not much else to say on the subject, beyond sympathies for anyone affected by this.

This is the stupidest thing anyone can say. You have a dark theater packed with people and your saying that if a few people had guns on them everything would have been different? yeah you're right because instead of 13 dead we'd have 50 dead and instead of 59 wounded we'd be talking about at least 100. It sounds good in theory to say that if a few people were packing everything would be different but in reality that's not what would happen. You already have a lunatic shooting a semi-automatic rifle and to add another group of shooters is just asking for trouble. The shooter was wearing body armor so you would have had a hard time trying to take him out with your handgun.
Well, at least one guy was fully armed...An entire theater full of people, and no one else was armed...
Yeah, shootings happens in countries with very strict gun-control laws. The thing is what extremely rarely happens in these countries happens quite often in the US...
Last time I heard about a mass shooting in the US was about 3 monthes agos (Oikos shooting).
Tell me about one gun-control country in wich 2 mass shootings can happen within les than 6 monthes (don't tell me about Merah : 2 shootings but twice the same guy. Counts for one) and I may agree guns aren't the problem.
Don't forget they were tear gassed.
Here is a timeline of some of the worst shooting incidents carried out by one or two gunmen around the world in the last 25 years:
