Mass Shooting in Aurora, CO

[Raavak]

I am actually somewhat fearful of a copycat coming into my Batphone movie.

You know, I've been angry, I've been depressed, I've felt despair, but I've never wanted to go out and injure people. What the hell possesses these people to do these things? This dude's aparment has buckets of ammo and sophisticated booby traps that may keep nearby people evacuated for days while they try to disarm them.

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.

Agreed.

Don't get me wrong it doesn't affect my decision to go see a movie, just like 9/11 didn't affect my decision to fly.

Random murder spree's are just gut dropping..

The gunman looks like a prozac'd out assburger.

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

My thoughts exactly. Sad part is they use crap like this to enact more gun control when a bystander could have just killed his ass as soon as he pulled it out, you know before he killed 12 people and injured another 50 (source: Fox News confirmed legit)

Or an armed bystander could have accidentally shot some other, innocent bystander in the dark, crowded theater as it filled with tear gas. The assumption that an impromptu gunfight would have caused fewer casualties is naive at best. The idea that we'd all be safer if more people brought their guns to the movies is ludicrous. I mean, assured mutual destruction has no place in movie theater security.

Not advocating more gun control, just sayin': fire isn't always what you fight fire with. Sometimes you use water, or dirt or various foams and stuff.

I like those odds a lot better than sitting there like a defenseless slave waiting in line to be killed anyways

Is that really how you feel in social situations? Like someone might leap out and shoot you at any moment? That must be a pretty tortured existence, feeling so insecure all the time. I hope you get better, friend.

No, but this tragedy happened right? It could happen anytime, anywhere... so scout's motto. This is why we need more guns on the street. There's places in the south where people just don't rob the local liquor store cuz they're packin heat and so is every bystander. And if guns kill people, then pencils make spelling mistakes.

I'm afraid of copycats, too. I don't even get why someone would do something like this to complete strangers? Why? What does it do?
