this is what happens when people are allowed to buy guns

Agreed. It's retarded.

The cats kinda outta the bag on that one, millions of guns are already in the hands of people, good and bad. Outlaw gun sales will only provoke a black market of dealers and guns made offshore, maybe a metal detector at theaters? how sad our times, how sad...

Eat a dick, and take your bullshit to P&N.

He's right though. Something is wrong when any murderous dumbass can walk into a shop and buy shit that's only reason to exist is to kill other humans.

I think the guy shot up people outside standing in crowds.

From the news release, "The gunman "appeared at the front of the screen" in the theatre and started shooting, Fania said."

read the story...

They are looking for an Indian male suspect.

According to CNN the guy gave up. He didn't even put up a fight.

9news confirmed a 3 month old was injured.

This isn't some sort of trend, it's mental illness.

By the end of the day, main stream news will be linking this event to Romney. Just wait.

 

[SaltBoy]

Witnesses in the live news feed said *two* cannisters were thrown - one from the front, one from the back of the theater. Another suspect?

Although i do not think it is wise to give people the means to kill each other.
I think this has nothing to do with guns.
It is still the human that must pull the trigger.
No, i am more worried about the medicine culture in the USA and in Europe.
Antidepressants that have now been given out like candy for many years seem to have at least on some people the effect to create a lack of empathy when used for a longer time period. meaning that these people no longer or in a reduced way can sense or care what they do upon other people. Once in a while a person with a real mental problem will also get such a medicine that will reduce the already limited ability to empathize. Give such a person a gun and a bad day...
Medicines are like band aid , they can assist the healing. But the healing must be done actively by the body.

RIP

This is ridiculous.

It's the reason I disagree with gun ownership. Shit like this shouldn't happen as often as it seems to America.

Would you have felt better if he set up homemade bombs around the theater? Like they do in Iraq or what happened at Oklahoma City? I actually feel this is why more of the population should be armed, not guns taken away.

With all that said, if you want to turn this into a P&N style gun control issue, please do it in P&N. This is a sad situation, people do screwed up things. I feel terrible for the victims, I know it won't undo what has happened here or bring anyone back, but I do hope justice is served and this guy is put down. It's terrible that people that wanted a nice night of enjoying a movie had to have this happen to them. My condolences to all of the victims.

He showed up wearing a tear gas mask, threw a gas gredande, then started shooting. People thought it was part of a promotion for the movie first.


Really really sad and scary. I'm so sorry for the families of the victims. :'(

It's probably easily possible for one person to achieve that effect.

The police were saying on the radio that it was OC. Pepper spray.

 

[vi edit]

I just hope this doesn't spawn off a bunch of copycat murders

Terrible incident that will ruin many, many lives forever.

2 girls being interviewed on 9news who were in theater 9 just said one guy had 2 cannisters and threw them into the crowd.

Yea, it happened inside the theatre was my point..

Yeah, I just caught that as well. Seems more plausible...

 

[manimal]

this is just horrible. wonder if metal detectors in movie theaters will be thrown around again....


remember the shootings at the colors premiere?

 

[silverpig]

Read the headlines this morning. Man what terrible news. What's with all the mass shootings these days?

At least they seem to have caught the guy.

Obama has issued his statement:

Michelle and I are shocked and saddened by the horrific and tragic shooting in Colorado. Federal and local law enforcement are still responding, and my Administration will do everything that we can to support the people of Aurora in this extraordinarily difficult time. We are committed to bringing whoever was responsible to justice, ensuring the safety of our people, and caring for those who have been wounded. As we do when confronted by moments of darkness and challenge, we must now come together as one American family. All of us must have the people of Aurora in our thoughts and prayers as they confront the loss of family, friends, and neighbors, and we must stand together with them in the challenging hours and days to come.

That was fast!
