[QUOTE=Rusty100;36867658][B]Stop threadshitting. This isn't about who has it worse. This is a thread for those wounded and killed in this incident.[/B][/QUOTE] [QUOTE=GodKing;36867704]Fine.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=GodKing;36867762]You just have to accept that it's a possibility and keep going on with the assumption that it won't happen. You can't be paranoid. You could also be struck by a bolt of lightning or a meteorite during a walk to the store.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=GodKing;36868100]Would that not have potentially affected the possibility of this crime happening in the first place?[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=GodKing;36868100]Would that not have potentially affected the possibility of this crime happening in the first place?[/QUOTE] Nope, people will always be able to get a hold of a gun if they want to.

[QUOTE=Purple Robot;36868172]Please stop, even a mod told you to. Also, I woke up to this and now I can really say, I deeply mourn the losses for the people who were caught up in this all, and i wish the best for the wounded[/QUOTE] What? That's not threadshitting, it's a legitimate question pertaining to the topic of the thread. [editline]21st July 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Pierrewithahat;36868218]Nope, people will always be able to get a hold of a gun if they want to.[/QUOTE] Well why are the fire-arm related death statistics so much lower in nations that have gun control?
Let peace reign over this thread now.
[QUOTE=Craptasket;36868929]Let peace reign over this thread now.[/QUOTE] Thank you. Have the police detonated the explosives yet?
No, they will attempt another entry today and see if they can defuse it. Some specialists from FBI are suppose to arrive today.
What exactly is going on with the bombs? It seems like I missed a lot while I was sleeping, are they timed?
[QUOTE=carcarcargo;36869612]What exactly is going on with the bombs? It seems like I missed a lot while I was sleeping, are they timed?[/QUOTE] They sent in a robot to take pictures. The apartment is full of wiring, bottles of gasoline and unknown fluid, mortar shells, and trip wires. The guy had his stereo set to play very loud music at night, so that his neighbors would call 911 and report a disturbance. Either way, the police or neighbors would have tried to enter the apartment and it would have set of the bombs.
What a horrible place to commit such a crime.. however, luckily for the innocents involved there was plenty of cover and darkness then avoid being killed. 12 people is a lot dead, but think of the hundreds of people in there. I've read a lot of interviews about this, and it seems like most people took cover under the seats and crawled away. But.. just imagine crawling on those sticky floors with screaming and bodies falling around you. ugh... Thoughts go out to the victims, their families, and anyone who had to experience that.

[QUOTE=Falubii;36869820]The sticky floors. Oh the horror.[/QUOTE] What I'm getting at is that you would normally never think you'd be lying down on those floors unless something like this was happening

[QUOTE=Sardonus;36865462]I don't know what to do with myself. This whole thing has just sent me sprialing into depression I can't stop reading about it I'm just so fucking mad and sad and depressed with the world I don't even live in the states. For the victims, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry your lives ended this way. You all deserved better, I'm sure. I hope you all got to make it to whatever afterlife you believed in. Friends and families of the victims, I wish you all the best. I wish you the strength to get through this. I'm sorry. I feel the need to vent my thoughts out somewhere :/ I don't even live in the states and this is pissing me off so much[/QUOTE] You have to realize that nearly no one around you is like this. Any regular person you see would never do something like that. I know it makes you upset but you have to go out and see the world isn't all you see on the news.
[QUOTE=zzzZZZZ;36864068]Prison rape is a serious issue, and a big problem of the American correctional system. But my only, only point, was that that punishment would more befit the crime than a death sentence. For the precise reason that being confined to that is being confined to one of the worst punishments this country has to offer, be it a sponsored part of the justice system or otherwise. In other news, my friend who was missing came up on the list. 18 years old. R.I.P. man.[/QUOTE] When I read things like this, my heart just drops. I'm sorry about your friend, man. I hope he rests in peace. No one there deserved to die except the shooter. It's hard to believe that shit like this can happen in such a happy place, a movie theater, where you go to enjoy popcorn, and candy and hanging out with your friends. It just goes to show that this is a crazy world and that there are some really fucked up people out there. My condolences.
[QUOTE=Lucorio;36870152]What a bat man, robin their souls.[/QUOTE] get out
[QUOTE=Zakkin;36867730]This kinda makes me realise that life could just end for you any day. At any second a madman could burst through the door and shoot you. Shit's depressing.[/QUOTE] Very true. Especially considering that girl who was killed had just narrowly avoided being caught in the crossfire at the Eaton Centre Shootings last month.
[QUOTE=Lucorio;36870152]What a bat man, robin their souls.[/QUOTE] That is soo witty did you take that from Facebook?
On Fox News they're showing the guys on the ladder truck stringing around what looks like DetChord and they're saying theyre going to blow up the IEDs. Live, presumably.

Has there been any word on motive or is that still under wraps for now? I guess this guy was just nuts so there's probably no real justification for what he did other than wanting to shoot up the cinema because his life was pathetic.
[QUOTE=Jim_Riley;36872285]Has there been any word on motive or is that still under wraps for now? I guess this guy was just nuts so there's probably no real justification for what he did other than wanting to shoot up the cinema because his life was pathetic.[/QUOTE] Arguably he had a pretty good life, was well educated, etc. No word on what his motives are, and I think it's unfair to make up our own.
Dunno if this was posted before, but one of the victims, "Alex Sullivan" also had a post just moments before the shooting. It was supposedly his birthday and he went to go see it. He said "this is going to be the best birthday ever" How heartbreaking. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/lfrLr.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/OayTz.jpg[/IMG] It's a weird feeling seeing that and knowing an hour later he would be dead. like when Ryan Dunn died and he tweeted a pic of him drinking like 30 mins before it happened.
[QUOTE=galenmarek;36862593]100% impossible and especially with the millions of Americans that use guns to get their food everyday. Not everyone lives next to a supermarket in America and some people don't live near anything. These people hunt for their food. Plus that is FOX, who actually takes something from FOX and believes it 100%.[/QUOTE] Just watch, our government absolutely despises the prospect of self defense in crisis. They'll try to use this as an excuse to rally support for anti-firearm activists.

[QUOTE=Doctor Zedacon;36873208]Quit making shit up for fucks sake.[/QUOTE] Stop making shit up too. And I'd rather hear news from the shithead liers at Fox than the shithead liers from CNN anyday. [QUOTE=OvB;36862271]Because the shooter was that man. Shooter buys ticket, enters theater as a civilian. Shooter pretends to take a call, leaves out the back door, wedging it open on his way out. Shooter goes to his car which was parked right next to the back exist, dresses up in his gear and retrieves his weapons. Shooter then enters again and starts shooting.[/QUOTE]Witnesses say he signalled someone outside before exiting and retrieving his gear to begin. Something feels off about this whole ordeal.
