17 hrs later, the media has Twisted this story into political fodder. iMO, it's about mental illness/depravity. Too bad it's an election yr. Too bad the poor families have to endure this circus, once again.....

See, I feel if this person wanted to kill this many people he would have found a way, Guns, crossbows, explosives, poisonous gases, etc.. I am not sure Guns were the probelm although perhaps an easy means to a end. Look at what the terrorists of 9/11 accomplished with a few knives and palnes filled with fuel.

To make "gun control" an argument over citizens' rights is a smoke screen.

Gun control should be focused on regulating the munitions industry.

Also, there were gun-totin' citizens at the Gabrielle Giffords shooting and nobody pulled their guns out. It's easy for people to imagine a rootin'-tootin' wild west shoot-out where'n the bad guys get shot by well-armed citizenry but it just doesn't happen. Even though this country's built on such myths.

The film will not release box office numbers this weekend 'out of respect for the victims'. They will be released on Monday instead.


Warner Bros. will not report 'The Dark Knight Rises' box office results this weekend 'out of respect for the victims'

Oh don't worry about Palin, Lou Dobbs and O'Reilly have already blamed the victims - (O'Reilly) for taking their kids to the theatre because they couldn't afford 15.00/hr for babysitting (kinda presumptous?) - and (Dobbs) - the audience shoulda been armed. Yeah, that woulda helped.....

But it shows you what a true believer Dobbs is in the mythology. I wonder if he carries a gun and if so, I'd be surprised if it weren't like Nancy Reagan's pearl handled revolver.

the imagery of Nancy Reagan actually getting off a shot is hysterical!

People have been killing other people for millennia and almost certainly always will. It's simply a matter of methodology and degree w a certain emotionally salacious interest in the aftermath.
If it wasn't guns, then explosives, or poisoning wells or anthrax in the mails. Civilizations veneer is pretty thin. And yet, the world goes round. Well, at least until it doesn't.

Bitter and cynical much? U betcha!

Even chimps in the wild kill each other (and some even cannibalize).

Just for you, tiny. In 1981, new wave band The Boom, put out a single called "Nancy Packs a Piece." And I bought it.

WB will not release box office results out of respect for the families...

I completely understand why they are doing this and I commend them for it...

However, as beautywicked pointed out, they WILL release them on Monday. Out of respect for people who are supporting the film out of respect for those who didn't get to see how it ends.

On another note, the NYTimes reports that the guy's apartment is so booby trapped they can't figure out a way to get in. And they reported this unnerving piece of the puzzle:



As for the apartment itself, The Denver Post had more details from neighbors, who reported that they heard loud techno music begin blaring from the apartment around midnight, shortly before the shootings occurred. The neighbors said that the music seemed to be on some sort of a timer since it stopped around 1 a.m. Kaitlyn Fonzi, a 20-year-old biology student at University of Colorado Denver, lives in an apartment below Holmes.

Around midnight, Fonzi said she heard techno music blasting from Holmes apartment. She went upstairs and knocked on the door. When no one answered, she put her hand on the door knob and realized the door was unlocked.

Fonzi decided not to go inside the apartment.

The music turned off at almost exactly 1 a.m., Fonzi said.

It's a really good thing she made that decision not to open the door.

Really, Namo. Is it on YT? Hilarious.

@Lasagna - oh come on, let's be real, nothing personal, but I'm sure not 1 family member of the stricken cares about WB's, or anyone's PR spin.

A friend just emailed me this - omg, TMZ - such a rag, but this is just waaaay to weird to be true..

Namo, that's absolutely chilling.

I have to say that the photo of the gunman is so creepy. Those eyes are evil. I have to turn the page or the channel when it is shown.

My heart is just aching from watching the coverage tonight.

I only watched CNN tonight, and I must say I was sobbing after the interview with the young couple -- little girl, 4, and the 4 month old baby. They all incredibly escaped. He proposed marriage to her in the hospital... Harrowing interview. Piers Morgan (OK, I generally hate him, but great interview)

"Even chimps in the wild kill each other (and some even cannibalize)."

That's a brilliant argument against gun control. Why even have laws against murder? Even Chimps do it so why bother trying to discourage it?
The "everything would be better if everyone was armed" argument drives me crazy. I wonder if Lou Dobbs would have gotten a shot off in a dark theater filled with tear gas at a man covered in body armour with an automatic rifle.
Holmes LEGALLY bought enough guns and ammo in a few weeks to take on a small army. Because there's absolutely no kind of gun regulation in this country that didn't even raise a red flag.
And thank god WB is releasing the box office receipts Monday. Nothing must interfere with consumption! It's the American way!

These were the weaponse he purchased "legally." Banning the sale of these weapons--not ALL weapons--should be perfectly fine in any normal-person's definition of the Second Amendment:



The AR-15 is a semi-automatic weapon similar to the M-16. It is capable of firing off hundreds of rounds per minute.

It's a wonder he didn't kill everyone in the movie theater.

Don't forget the tear gas bombs. He bought those legally too. And the 6,000 rounds of ammo.
There have been over 20 mass shootings in the United States since Columbine. I think we should try to prevent another. Even though chimps kill each other in the wild.
Colorado gun laws remain lax

Namo, you posted this a page back....:

If it hasn't happened yet, I'm surprised no one has yet suggested we "support" The Dark Knight Rises by buying tickets to the film the victims were so excited to see.
