James Holmes.

Quite shocking that someone would go to all the trouble to shoot random people that are in a showing of one of the biggest films to be released so far this year.

It's the theater, I used to live about five minutes from their, every night of the week you will see kids (like 10-13 year olds) at the 10 pm showings of movies.

Terrible that this happened. Vibes to all of the victims and their families.

no shit they had the right to kill this guy...We pay for thousands of drug sentences that should just be a simple petty crime. I have no problem having my taxes go up .00005 cents to watch this guy rot in a cell the rest of his life

This/These shooter(s) were going for body count. He had a vest on, tons of ammo, tear gas, and an AK. So fucked, many of the people that are alive now are critically injured.

The only thing that makes sense to me is if they dressed up like characters from the movie. Just like halloween, everyone assumes its all fun and games and all it takes is one psycopath. Batman has a cape, iduno im just guessing but.

No, he kicked in the emergency door, threw tear gas in and opened fire. 50 people in the hospital from this. It's all over Denver news this morning.

good lord... it feels like I ask this way too much nowadays but what the hell is wrong with people?
At first when I saw the posts about it on twitter I thought that the swedish newspapers had been trolled super hard (it has happened before), it sounded too fucked up to be true.

Aw fuck I just posted in the other thread asking what happened and this is wha happened. I went to high school in aurora and used to go to this theater, oddly enough i have always had a fear of some one shooting up a movie theater. Seems simple exits are always unlocked and there are so few. This is so sad Fuck the guy who did this what a piece of shit.

"The Police Department can confirm that 12 persons are deceased, with the bodies of 10 victims still at the crime scene inside the theater. At least two more victims died at area hospitals" From the BBC news live article.


Such a tragedy.



++++++ vibes to all the families involved in this terrible incident.

My boss is from Denver, I just told him about this and he's freaking out. I wouldn't like to be the attorney representing this guy, guaranteed they play it off as insanity and send him to a comfy asylum. Fuck that, or prison, kill him.

Agreed. Prisons are too comfy these days anyway. Sane or not, you take this many lives I feel the justice system should take your life in return.

Fuck use the buzzword of the decade and call it terrorism and I bet people would be more likely to go for the death penalty. Does CO even do the death penalty??

In 2008 it cost an average of $28,759 a year to house someone in prison in CO. That is $115,036 for only 4 years. And that is taxpayers money right there, more than the average college student pays for in state tuition over 4 years....how sad is that? You said comfy. This is straight free housing... free dental, free meals, free health, free almost everything.

DO NOT BRING POLITICS INTO THIS.

Bad people do bad things everywhere. None of the probably 100 laws this guy broke last night did any good stopping him. So don't start with the gun thing.

This, no matter what, if people are crazy they'll find a way to do it. This man is clearly insane, and for taking 10+ lives he shouldn't deserve to live a happy life, even prison might be too cozy. Vibes to all the families :(.

It's going to be really interesting to see how this whole story unfolds. I wonder if his motives were connected to the film or if he was just fucking nuts. Also, given how easily this happened, its got me kind of nervous that there may be some copy cat killers in the next couple months.

I have a feeling we're going to see movie theaters respond to this by making shit more safe. Especially if, as said above, this ends up being labeled as terrorism.

Bad people do bad things but gun laws enable people to access deadly weapons. Sorry but US gun laws are fucking way too lax.

Start a new thread for it then. I think its disrespectful to use 12 people's deaths 10 hours ago as a tool for your political opinion.

if someone really wants to shoot 14 people in a theater, he will get his hands on guns no matter what the laws say

you dont like it? then leave. there is no law stating you have to be a us citizen.



the problem with metal detectors in movie theaters, is that this man went through an emergency exit.

why not make the bastard walk right into his apartment, let the explosives take care of him.
