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 |

I keep a loaded gun in every room of my house at all times. You can't be too careful these days.

Love of guns seems to be something you pick up when you're younger, kind of like love of cars.
It's something that was never around me growing up, or any of my friends. I don't know if thats why I never acquired a fondness of guns, but I think it's part of it. I have nothing against guns or gun owners, it's your right to protect yourself and your family in the way feel works best, I just know I would feel uneasy with a gun in the house. |

Since the 1994 Assult ban (that has since expired) the country hasnt has a serious political converation about guns. The NRA is not going to allow that to take place. But again as many have said, guns are not responsible for this tragedy. He would have found other ways to kill people. This was a mental break with reality problem, not a gun problem.

So, just to make sure...you guys do know what DC is, right? And this thread? I feel like I'm speaking in some foreign tongue.
http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=261606 I'm tempted to give up on my self-imposed mod break and start banning people from the thread left and right. |

I have a mildly serious question for any of the wannabe lawyers out there:
In a case like this, why does the legal process take so long? I mean, I'm completely on board with the idea that everyone should get a fair trial, but what is there really to discuss? There isn't anyone on the planet who thinks the guy is innocent, so why does it take years for the court system to run its course? Is it just to figure out the severity of the punishment or something? |
