Shooting at TDKR Midnight Premiere in Aurora, CO. Multiple dead.
At least 10 moviegoers were killed and 39 injured at a cinema in the Colorado city of Aurora in the Denver suburbs. They were attending a midnight showing of the new Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises.
The theater was packed with a lot of people, many of them young fans, at the time the shooting started, 9news reports. The violence erupted some 15 minutes after the movie started, witnesses said. Some say that when they first heard the shooting, they thought it was some new type of special effect. Local media reports that two gunmen were involved in the rampage. An explosive device was set off during the shooting, injuring several people. Witnesses said the gunmen were probably wearing body armor and gas masks and used some kind of a tear gas bomb in the attack. Some reports say police have apprehended one of the assailants while the second one is still at large. Police have cleared people from the scene over fears that another explosive device might be on the premises. Aurora medical services were alerted to attend to the large number of injured http://www.rt.com/news/shooting-dark...er-aurora-654/ WOW |
About 20 nerds dressed up in full Batman gear had the opportunity of a lifetime and completely failed.

My brother lives in Denver. He's on the north side, 20+ miles from this with plenty of theaters nearer so I'm not to concerned with the possibility he was there. Pezman, a Bronco fan who used to post here a lot actually attended the movie last night but he selected a theater a couple miles from this one. I'm intrigued to discover motive here. Not that any reason is going to make sense but it is going to be interesting to find out more about the loon who did this.

In NC you cannot have a Concealed Carry at a place where admission is charged to get in, Don't know if it's similar there but 4 or 5 armed patrons could have possibly saved alot of lives and injuries...

However, I agree. A few CC holders could've put some resistance against these cowards. Hell, this old bastard shut down 2 cowards in seconds. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/07/18...-cafe-robbery/ |

Explosive device found in his apartment and is being evacuated. Don't know still about his car. He was dressed as a SWAT guy.

That's f'ing crazy. Psychos.

Hypotheticals aside, most of these cowardly pricks have a game plan and a vision in their head how they're going to rob or get famous. Some armed resistance throws a wrench in their plans and they flee.
Get on the floor and let the CCW'ers and bad guys shoot it out...or get on the floor and pray the cowards don't see you. It's your choice. (Assuming they were covering the exits) |
Has Dumervil's whereabouts been accounted for?
|
Does Colorado have the death penalty? If, so what kinds? Either way, psycho's gonna wish he'd saved a bullet for himself.
|
Colorado is the place for shootings.

Colorado's only executed one person since 1977. Can we get this case moved to Texas?

I read a few other BB's where the "give them a fair trial" crowd comes out of the woodwork. There should be no ifs/ands/or buts here. Fit them with a noose. |

I heard on the morning news that the shooter was dressed up as Batman.
|
Guess he was more of a Marvel guy, huh?
Seriously, though, what a tragic incidence. Despicable. Also, that article (the one in the click-through link, at least) is one of the most horrendously written things I've read in a long time. Is RT a news site for teenagers? "Packed with a lot of people"? "The Colorado city of Aurora in the Denver Suburbs"? |

The wife and I are going to visit Denver here soon. Is this type of shit commonplace there?
|
This will likely mark the end of dressing up for movie showings.
|
Don't go to the movies often but when we do it's late at night and I'm always carrying. Might not have done any good in this case but if I was there I'd rather have a gun, don't want to go down for lack of shooting back.

This ****ing pisses me off that this stuff happens here in USA. |
So sad and tragic.

I think I'll pass on the idea of a half dozen armed theatergoers firing wildly into the smokey darkness in the hopes of hitting the better prepared and better equipped crazy guy. The correct response when someone opens fire is to run like mad, which they did.
I feel terrible for the victims. |

In this case you’ve got a motivated killer so you have to quickly come up with a plan. You can’t just pull your gat and let the lead fly, that’ll get even more killed. I would think that if you’re in the line of fire just keep your head down and encourage everyone around you to do the same, but if you can approach from the killer’s blind side closing the distance quickly then put an end to it. |

My CCW weapon is a .45 acp. If it didn't go through the vest, it would still put a man on his ass out of air. Leaving time to escape or over power him. Regarding armed movie goers: Do you think these loons would've pulled this shit if they knew there was a chance 5 individuals were armed in the theater? Hell no! An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life. Robert A. Heinlein |
this one is interesting from a CCW perspective. I can see both sides of the argument.
but personally, I'd feel better if I were carrying. Would I die? possibly. would someone else get hit with a stray bullet? possibly. I'd rather have a chance, than no chance. I agree - if you have a chance, you GTFO of there. but if it came down to a scenario where I wasn't able to, I'd want the chance to possibly get out while armed. interesting though. It makes me so mad when I heard about these shootings. Cowards. prayers to the victims families, and healthy recovery for those who were injured. |

Would they get capped by someone who is armed? Possibly yeah. But I don't think it'd stop the attempt. They're crazy for a reason. |
So far I have heard or read the following this caused this;
- Violent video games - The violence in the Batman films - Columbine - And more calls for gun control Of course the thought that this was just a disturbed young man could not possibly be the cause... |
