Mass shooting kills 14, injures 50 at The Dark Knight Rises screening in Colorado

this is why i hate watching the news sometimes, it sucks cause we need to be informed but then u see stories like these that makes me sick specially when theres children involved. i was watching this show the other day about the study of the psychopaths brain and it was very interesting how their minds work how they can see through cat scan their lack of empathy. and scientists believe they have a way to cure these type of ppl and hopefully use that technology on prisoners. hopefully this becomes a reality someday.

Among the blamemongering media's claims are that this is the fault of:

  • Guns
  • Gun laws (too many)
  • Guns (not enough of them)
  • Librulz
  • Conservatives or the NRA
  • Movies
  • Video Games
  • Not being Christian Enough(TM)
  • Inadequate mental health care
  • All the other usual suspects.


It's absolutely disgusting. Nobody cares about the victims, just spinning and selling the story of a tragedy.
 
People themselves in comments section are no better. In fact, they're worse.

What someone in the comments section of a major newspaper posted... Hidden by spoiler tags because it's just too distasteful, but bears proof at how idiotic people are...
Spoiler:
All the Mental Health Pros he mixed with didn't detect his decline sufficiently to trip alarms. Do not resort to OBAMACARE REMEDIES they will be of no use whatsoever.

The man was being MENTALLY TORTURED BY OBAMA and the SICK SYSTEM that produces LEMMINGS to live in a Lemming World where there are NO JOBS but LOTS of people to hound you about the DEBTS you ran up at their urging, trying to become the BEST LEMMING you could be.
 
The latest load of bullshit from TMZ says just because he has red Hair he could have been trying to recreate the hospital scene from the Dark knight. First it was He is Crazy, then It turned into him saying He was the Joker, then it turned into him copying the Dark Knight returns and now it's him trying recreate a scene of a movie that had nothing to do with what he did.

I hate the new corps. They try and draw parallels in everything.
It's just stupid

And the people complaining that Kids where at the movie. Really regardless of why they where there, they where and It's sad that now they could possibly have ptsd or various other mental health problems just because they went and seen Batman.
 
Uh, actually, the one entity I haven't seen tossing around blame has been the Aurora PD. When you need a cop, you won't hate them so much, Ames. Shit.

I'm not hating on the cops at all. It's the news I have the problem with. Because they are jumping to conclusions and trying to make it seem like the movie gave him the Idea, when the only connection to batman it has is that it happened during the DKR and the scene from Dk they're saying he was trying to recreate had joker talking to Dent then blowing up the hospital. Where's the connection to what this guy did?

Sorry, I for whatever reason read 'cops' instead of 'corps'. Too little sleep. I got in from the movies at around 4:30. Statement retracted, and yeah, I agree with you 100% about the media.

I know that your trying to lighten the mood, but now's not the time for something like that.

Its really sad that something like this happened. It angers me that those people lose love ones just because of one man decided to shoot for no reason

Its odd as I see no motive in this whatsoever. At least the Tucson shooting could be thought as having a reason behind it, like political assassination.(even if inocent were killed as well)
And columbine, the shooters went to school with the people they killed, so some connection at least.


But here, its just random people in a movie.
Pardon the to soon batman joke, but I hope they dont pull a jonathan crane with this guy and let him off as insane.
I just see it as an evil person who knows what he's doing enough to plan this out so perfectly and wire the house with explosives.But whatever I could be wrong about him, as I just explained there seems to be no motive.
 
not even 7 hours later, and already spinning this on trying use it as proof in a gun law debate.

Wtf seriously? We've had this discussion, hundreds upon thousands of times in previous shootings. The debate is always the exact same.

I feel no sympathy coming from the press, it's just an angle for some of them. They are feeding off your upset emotions to try and brainwash you into their outlook.


How about you just report what's happening, and facts. I hate the Mainstream Media. The only reason I heard them is because they were on while I was working vending machines today.


Heart goes out to those in that incident.

these kind of events make you think about life and think "What if that happened to me? and I was there?"

To be fair though, it does make you wonder if people would've stood a better chance had a few people had executed their right to the 2nd Amendment.

It's always 10x harder when kids are involved.
 
What pisses me off most (besides some idiot being, well, an idiot) is that, now that he mentioned the Joker, it's gonna be all the Joker's fault for this happening.

Not saying that as a joke, being totally serious. The Joker's name was smeared, so it will automatically be his fault.

Uhhhhhhhhh...the movie was called THE DARK KNIGHT, not The Dark Knight Returns.....and I am pretty sure the red hair thing was just them connecting it to the movie because there was no other reason for him to have red hair and say he is the Joker when we all know the Joker has green hair.....I don't think they meant he was doing an exact scene from TDK because Joker doesn't go blowing people away in a movie theater.....they were just connecting the red hair and Joker ref to the movie.

Looks like The Joker and Marilyn Manson share more in common than just the make up now



Theres always gonna be people who try and ruin things, and people who blame things, this example is batman and its characters. But we should try and turn this on its head. The realitiy is, there are evil people out there, and these films have simply shown us the harsh reality(exaggerated yes, but heroic intention is also a part of them) I believe this could have happened at any movie, but with it being Batman releated I have more fuel in me to just say "back off" to the finger pointers. Just stop before you make youself look any stupider.
 
They never look at the SOURCE of the situation. The guy obviously has mental problems. It isn't the fault of the movie or the character but they NEVER say that because it is easier to say YES, IT IS THE FAULT OF THE JOKER FOR BEING SO EVIL.

Ames was actually refering to the Frank Miller graphic novel. Theres a part in there where a guy kills people in a theatre and now they are bringing it up
 
This is how stupid the media really is.

This is before the shooting, but just a nice example.

Ugh... Rush Limbaugh



I love the young turks 99% of the time.
