[QUOTE=ZF911;36858586]With no disrespect to any of the victims or their families, I hope this doesn't cause movie theaters to have high security checkpoints like airports have.

AMC just announced they will no longer allow costumes into the theater. I understand doing something like this for now. But they just permanently put an end to one of the most fun parts of midnight releases.[/QUOTE]

Am I the only one who's getting sick of hearing this "Hero"'s story every 10 minutes?[/QUOTE]
Hero? She's a survivor.

I hope they change their minds soon, but there are bigger concerns at the moment of course.
There was just a woman on the news criticizing the theater for not having guards standing outside of the exit doors 24/7. I mean really?
Media loves to throw around the Hero word
Oh boy here it comes. "Is the violence in these movies actually related to the shootings?"

Related. Yes, this guy was a "dark trekkie" apparently.
[QUOTE=DamagePoint;36857758]His last Facebook post was "Standing in line waiting for the dark knight rises to open!" He hasn't been online since and nobody's heard from him since then. Even his mom has been posting on his Facebook asking if he's okay.
This is not good.[/QUOTE]
what was his facebook ?
According to Sky news the gunman also planted various traps in and around the cinema.
Fucking horrible thing, All those people that went out that night to have a nice time. Kids enjoying the summer, Now traumatized by the event.
Condolences to those effected by the shooting, and those that tragically died.

Doesn't really say he was a Dark Trekkie. It's more about the analyst making a really out there assumption that basically generalizes that all Trekkies are Batman-Fan Slaughtering Sociopaths.
Rate late if necessary, can't remember if I saw it, but here are some photos:

Some biographical info spliced from a couple articles.
[QUOTE]Holmes grew up in an upper-middle-class neighborhood in Torrey Highlands, where his parents still lived Friday, and graduated from Westview High School in 2006, neighbors said. They said he ran cross country and played soccer in high school.
Holmes graduated with honors from UC Riverside in 2010 with a bachelor's degree in neuroscience, officials at the school said Friday.
In a statement, Chancellor Timothy White says, "On behalf of the entire UCR community, I extend our deepest sympathy to the victims, their families and all of those impacted by this tragedy. "
Last year, Holmes enrolled in a Ph.D. program in neuroscience at the University of Colorado-Denver, but he was in the process of withdrawing when the shooting happened, said Jacque Montgomery, a spokeswoman for the university. On May 8, he was scheduled to present a paper on MicroRNA biomarkers for a class on psychiatric and neurological disorders.
Neighbor Tom Mai, 61, said he had lived next door to the Holmes family for years and was friendly with them. He said James Holmes' mother, Arlene Holmes, told him that James had been unable to find a job, so she sent him to a school in Colorado to pursue a Ph.D.
Mai said James Holmes was a "typical American kid," who "kept to himself," and "didn't seem to have many friends."
Tom Mai's son, Anthony Mai, 16, described James Holmes as "happy," "nice," and "always smiling."
The Denver Post, citing "information provided" to the newspaper, reports that the suspect described himself last year in an apartment rental application as a student who was "quiet and easygoing."
Holmes recently moved into an apartment about 4 miles from the theater where the shootings took place. It is in view of Children's Hospital, where some victims were taken.
The Denver Post quotes a pharmacy student living in the apartment building as saying Holmes kept to himself and would not even respond to anyone who tried to say "hello."
ABC News reports that it spoke to a woman in San Diego who identified herself as Holmes' mother. The woman immediately expressed concern that her son might be involved in the shootings in Colorado.
"You have the right person," she told ABC News. "I need to call the police. I need to fly out to Colorado."
KPBS reports that San Diego police have begun providing security for the woman, identified as Arlene Holmes, who lives in Rancho Penasquitos.
[/QUOTE]
Crazy.
Edit (another one):
A former schoolmate of Holmes at Westview high school in San Diego tells E! News exclusively that Holmes was a "really smart" student who kept to himself. "He was really smart, kinda nerdy and not too talkative with people he wasn't friends with." The source adds that Holmes, who reportedly went by the nickname Jimmy and wasn't involved in extracurricular sports or clubs, "didn't really have any long-term girlfriends, but I do remember him having dates to dances."

I'm not surprised that someone who had popcorn was panicing so hard they just ran away and later realized that they had popcorn with them and dropped it.

Wow, when I went to bed, the news out here had simply said there was an incident at a theater in Colorado, and I just assumed it was somebody doing stupid shit at a Batman premiere.
Then I wake up and 12 people are dead.

From reddit, so take with a bit of salt perhaps, but they think they found another photo of him, uploaded to a website 3 days ago, titled "Will you visit me in prison?"

[QUOTE=zzzZZZZ;36857340]On the upside, should he be tried effectively, he will hopefully be raped viciously for the next 65 years of his life.
Even prisoners aren't kind to child murderers.[/QUOTE]
Stop. You and everyone who posts this kind of shit just stop.
Stop trying to project your sick revenge fantasies over this and any other fucking tragedy. Nobody cares how much you want him to be raped in prison.

What he said. But like the reporters said his hair was red.
I bet that guy pulled off a joker moment when he started shooting.
Wait just reading this thread now he had bombs in his apartment christ you can claim this guy is the IRL joker.
