There's something insidiously stupid about a kid who spends fifteen hours a day shackled to his computer offering any commentary regarding slavery.

And seriously, the media didn't have to use this event. The shooting itself spurs debate on gun control, because it violates common sense that this kid should have been capable of amassing such an arsenal without at least raising some red flags. At least it violates the common sense of anyone who isn't a sheep in the NRA's flock. You know, the NRA? The most powerful lobby in Washington? The PR wing of an industry analogous to tobacco in that their product causes death when used as recommended. Just sayin', they don't care about you or your freedom any more than they can profit from your fear. | |||

Lucky you paranoid fuck. No one is coming to take your "property, life, or liberty". No one cares about your meager shit.
Stop sounding like chicken little. | ||

It's a dangerous world, I think it would be insane not to be armed. As empire America collapses, crime rates are through the roof with life and property at greater threat every day. Slavery is extremely common throught human history, seen in some fashion in nearly every society, even today, and Mao was correct when he said "political power grows out of the barrel of a gun". There's the famous proverb about when trade liberty for security, you are really getting tyranny. Don't know why people are so willing to sign up to be slaves, but history does repeat when the lessons aren't taken into consideration.

Gun control just leaves people defenseless, since the 'criminal element' is still going to have access to guns. No gun control means that anyone can just snap and start shooting since they already have the tools available to do so. Sure, people could fight back.. but come on.. if the whole 9/11 thing went down the way it's been explained then a handful of people took control of multiple planes with box cutters. you're talking an inch and a half long razor blade. one hundred + people vs. a handful of assholes with what basically equates to one of those piddly Swiss army knife key-chains. Masses are paralyzed by the threat to their livelihood, they won't react because there is the chance that their life may end, regardless of what they may be able to prevent. It's like people refuse to do what they can to save their fellows because their own life is more important than everybody else. Yea, this whole fiasco has left me more enlightened than I was before, but this 'new knowledge' doesn't make me feel more intelligent, only more worried about the 'state of human affairs'... it's hard to explain.

I live an hour away from Aurora - it's a pretty rough area. Lots of gang violence, but this is out of the ordinary. It's common for people to get guns pulled on them, even in movie theaters, but this isn't some mugging or gang-related shooting.
I went and saw the movie on Sunday, and it was pretty obvious the police in Colorado are behaving differently due to the shooting. An officer patrolled the theater at the 9:50am showing multiple times before the movie started, checked the door to make sure it was closed, looked for suspicious items near the screen and all along the front of the theater on the ground. I can't understand how the victims and their families feel - I hope they get whatever will help them through this tragedy, whether that be justice, closure, or compassion. I also hope our state and country have the fortitude to stand our ground and not use this as an excuse to enact laws - at some point, you can't station a U.S. marshal in every location a terrorist has attacked without becoming a police state.
