A gunman opened fire early today at a screening of the new Batman movie in an Aurora, Colorado, theater, police say, fatally injuring 14 people. At least 50 are injured. A suspect is in custody.

Very sad :(

Colorado is a conceal carry state. Hard to believe nobody had a gun to stop this guy. People are fucking crazy.

Yah, fucking horrible. You know it's getting bad when you can't even go see a movie without randomly being shot up.

Edit:

"A four-month-old baby was among 22 people treated for gunshot wounds at the University of Colorado hospital"

What is the ratio of non-randomly shot up movies vs randomly shot up movies?

While tragic, it is not statistically significant.

I'd say usually one is gang/mob related and there is more "purpose" if you will. Where as some guy randomly shooting people in the theater seems "less purposeful" and just plain fucking evil. (if that makes sense)

I wasn't trying to state statical facts.

I was just trying to point out that your danger of being randomly shot up while seeing a movie is no higher than before this incident. People tend to be a bit irrational over tragic media stories.

Happened at the movie theater just a mile or two from me :/
Good thing I was working last night or I might have been there. I want to see TDK
