Seems like bullshit to me, but that's the new word out of Colorado.
Sometimes I forget how easy it is for fucking crazy people to walk in a movie theater and kill a ton of people. It's scary man.

In the words of Bill:
"This guy is nuttier than candy bar shit."
Holy fucking shit. I live about half an hour away from there (in Arvada) and I was considering going to a movie last night. There's a movie theater right by my house, but still.
The Joker reports are all false. The media is jumping all over it because it relates to the movie, and they are pathetically desperate for new conspiracy theories to blab about.

Two .40 Glock pistols
Remington 870 shotgun
Smith and Wesson M&P-15 rifle (some saying it was a .22lr variant)

The OP said something about the guy shooting off a gas canister. Did he have some sort of projectile launcher?
Chief Dan Oates just said it was A glock, a remington shotgun and an AR-15. Another glock was found in his car.
All the people at this press conference are either stupid or trying to be funny. They're all asking if he was dressed as the Joker. One guy also asked why he chose this specific movie.
So is there any word yet as to why he did this?
[QUOTE=T-Sonar.0;36856671]The OP said something about the guy shooting off a gas canister. Did he have some sort of projectile launcher?[/QUOTE]
Nope. He threw what people are saying was a smoke bomb into the crowd before shooting.
If he had explosives at his house why wouldn't he just blow the theatre up?

They're all just trying to get some speculation on motive from him by asking that.
[QUOTE=gRuKz;36855565]Too bad no one in the theater was conceal carrying. It could have prevented this.[/QUOTE]
There are certain regulations of where you can conceal carry, i'm pretty sure there's one about not being able to carry in a place where there is a large amount (there's a certain number, i just don't remember what) of people allowed. A movie theater is most likely over that limit.

What other explanation could there be apart from he is downright psychotic?
Anyone know on how he got through the bacK?

"Breaking News: The Dark Knight Rises was a documentary, and the events happened in real time."
The fucker probably just wanted to be famous / more memorable by choosing this movie.
Also that whole "lots of people" thing.
[QUOTE=ZF911;36856699]One guy also asked why he chose this specific movie.[/QUOTE]
God, some people just don't like logic.
Seriously, think about it. It was a premier for an extremely hyped up movie, so the theater is guaranteed to be packed. If I was a phyco killer, that's where I'd go.

It could have been terrorism or 'jihad,' or something along those lines.
This is terrible, but I don't understand why nobody took him down. In a dark theater with tons of people panicking, you'd think it'd be relatively easy to take him off his feet - especially since he started on the stairs. Sure, it'd probably be a death sentence, but if you gave him even a few seconds' pause you'd be saving the lives of tons of people.

HE WAS SHOOTING A SHOTGUN
What I haven't seen so far is how all of this ended. DId someone take him down? S.W.A.T.? Swarm of officers? Pissed off marine or something, what?
I'm done going to the movies.

He did not point his gun at officers or himself. He apparently gave in without a fight. according to 9news

That's is entirely untrue in most states, who use the following rules:
Places off-limits when carrying:
1. Any place prohibited by federal law (e.g. federal offices or courthouse)
2. Any property of public school grades kindergarten through 12, unless the firearm remains inside a container in a locked vehicle
3. Any public building that prohibits ALL weapons which posts guards and permanent metal detectors at all entrances and requires all entrants to surrender handguns to security personnel before entry
4. Any private location with posted signs or when asked to leave.
It's really unfortunate that this happened. Not only were people killed, but chances are they'll be remembered as the basis for pointless legislation in both directions.
I can't wait until they release his reasoning.

It says hoax in the file name, so I'm just assuming that's probably a hoax. Even so, what dickhead saw this news and thought "Oh I'll make a hoax about what, that'll be cool", what a twat.
