Its very sad what happen to all those Innocent people losing their lives to some asshole dude. My biggest question is, why in the world would you bring your 3 month old to a rated R midnight showing??!! SMDH..:ohdamn:
 
It's very sad. I'm only 10 minutes from that theatre. Everyone around here is talking about it. That guy was sick. Came in with an ar15, sawed off shotgun and two 40 cal glocks. I'm so happy I didn't go to see batman that night
 
That's nuts.. dude was ready to kill anyone and everyone... I'm surprised the cops didn't kill the guy.. I hope dude gets raped in prison everyday.
 
Yup and what's more crazy is he had trip wires with explosives all in his apartment
 
It wasn't confirmed they were explosives. Officers just stated it's something they haven't seen before unless they released new info.

He was a smart kid and will possibly state this as a "study" as his degree was in psychology I believe.

I agree though, what were kids doing there?
 
I saw multiple times on the news the chief of police said there was trip wires everywhere for explosives and they couldn't get in. Obviously they were just assuming there was explosives to be safe. Ill bet there was/is though. That kid was a psycho. They said they were bringing in the bomb squad and a robot to check it out. Don't know if they did or not.
 
yeah his apartment was rigged with home brewed incendiary devices. he was a neuroscience student. craziest info ive read is his mom said she wasnt surprised and sounds like him, and his old professor knew it was him before hearing his name when they said he was a CU neuroscience student. guy purchased 4 weapons and 6000 rounds of ammunition in the last month. his adult friend finder (LOL) profile title was "will you visit me in prison?"

he is in solitary confinement as other prisoners expressed their collective desires to kill him.
 
they should just let the guy out in the open so everyone can whoop his ass
 
You know, coming from someone who owns the exact same types of equipment as this person, it's concerning to me what the political fallout will be.

It's sad for me to see these kinds of things happening at home. Sure, I'm realistic in knowing that it's GOING to happen, but it doesn't make it any easier to stomach. My thoughts are with the families of those who were murdered.
 
Why in the hell did it take his gun jamming for him to be stopped?

I mean according to the stories I have read, this guy had time to throw two canisters, and cycle through 3 different weapons.

agreed. criminals dont follow laws and will get a weapon regardless like they do already and NO amount of gun control or different policies would have prevented this specific situation of a squeaky clean american citizen acquiring weapons legally.

Because he was standing in front of the screen shooting everyone who stood up and tried to escape. Everyone thought it was an act until he threw the canister and started shooting. I don't know about you but if I saw people being dropped when they stood up, I'd be under some chairs hiding like the survivors did. Nobody is gonna play the hero when he has 4 weapons and standing near the exit.

It was just a gruesome event... I couldn't imagine being there during that. Luckily he surrendered to the police and didn't take out more people then he did.

Exactly. I'm a law abiding citizen, served my country in AFG and all that. I own body armor, a multitude of firearms and a decent pile of ammunition for all of them.

I'm not out to commit crimes or harm innocent people, but I'm often demonized by others as being in the same league as these mentally unstable people. I get that stereotyping is an unalterable part of human nature but, shit, it's just insulting to be lumped in the same group as mass murderers because I own and train with the same equipment.

Anyways. End rant. Just had to get that off of my chest after reading so many of the ignorant comments that people are making about the whole situation all over the internet.
 
I get you man. I don't own any guns yet but I understand where you're coming from.
 
All the families that lost there loved ones, should go to that guy and stone his ass, while he's tied down and hopeless like the people we're in the theatre.
 
My heart goes out to those affected by this. Iv had several people tell me how of they had a handgun or a ccw they could have stopped this. This guy had a tactical vest and ballistic helmet while using CS GAS. He was studying for his PH.D in neuroscience. He was complelety logical.

I am a expert.shot with a pistol and have been introduced to CS gas. Iv seen grown men cry in that gas chamber. I would rather be a shield than be responsible for an accident. Its terrible. Ilnow they are proposing a ban on assault weapons.

I hope this guy gets what's coming to him. In this life or the next. Maybe like hitlers fate on little nickey.

As a ex combat medic. I was glad to see how when a girl was shot. Her 13 year old friend applied pressure to her throat until the paramedics arrived. She is a real hero.
 
I do feel sad to see this but to me its like, man alot of people die around the world everyday because of hunger or diseases, etc... and nobody cares/helps. Yet stuff like this happens yea its all over the news for about a month or so then every body just forgets (except for the families lost of course) what happend and waits for something else like this to happen to give the nation something to talk about. Just my opinion on how I see things.
 
This is exactly why I have my concealed carry permit and I carry often, believe me he would of had few in his chest. Or I would have at least attempted. . Sad story no one deserves what happened.
 
I too am sick of reading the ignorant comments from gun control freaks. Nothing they say is backed by facts.

For instance, England, which has strict gun control laws, has a higher violent crime rate than the US.

As far as a C&CW person being able to end this. It's a yes and no thing. A strategic shooter could have gotten himself into place to make a shot with little risk to others, but just standing and drawing would have done little good. And his armor isn't this invincibility cloak. A .45 or a .50 (Desert Eagle) from that range would have laid him out, armor and all. The chances of a C&CW owner who also happens to be a strategic thinker, who can stay calm under those stresses, while carrying a high caliber pistol is unlikely. However, it doesn't mean it couldn't happen.

It's a tragedy. The internet conspiracy theorists have already found a way to twist this into blaming Obama, calling this guy a patsy and that he was brainwashed to commit this act by the Obama administration because it will help get him re-elected. Don't ask me to explain that statement, I am a logical person and don't get it either, but way to trivialize the suffering of many, America.

I am very profficient with a handgun 29-30 everytime. And in a dark room with cs gas? You would have done nothing more than added fuel to the fire. I would rather be a human shield than accidently double tap a innocent victim.

We all have rambo stories......

Sorry, I forget you know what training I have had and how I would act/react. I carry a Springfield XDM .45 with night sights. Just saying there may have been a chance a person could of done some good if they knew what they were doing.
