Bloody and horrific screening of "The Dark Knight Rises"!

Quote:
At least 12 people are dead and 38 were injured after a man opened fire on a crowd at a The Dark Knight Rises screening in Colorado early Friday morning, local police confirm.

According to various reports, at approximately 12:30 a.m. a man in a gas mask stood in front of a crowd during a screening of the film at a mall multiplex in Aurora and went on a shooting rampage. He set off a smoke bomb before opening fire.

Ten were reportedly killed at the scene, and the rest died at local hospitals, including a 6-year-old. Among the dead were members of the military, according to a Pentagon spokesman. The youngest victim was a 3-month-old, who was treated at a hospital and released.

The suspect, who police did not immediately identify but is believed to be in his early 20s, was reportedly wearing a bulletproof vest and carrying a rifle, handgun and knife. Another gun was purportedly recovered at the theater.

Authorities have now ID'd the suspect as 24-year-old James Holmes, a former medical student originally from San Diego.

Yes, I heard about this as I came home from watching the movie...
It'll probably really hurt both sales over the coming week, and the reboot will have this mark on it too.

Pretty fucked up though, makes you wonder about the mentality of the shooter - I wonder if he's pulling a "Mister Glass" and trying to find a real Batman?

^Agreed with Nathan Fillion.

Anyway...I'm pretty interested into why he did this and his personality, etc. I'm in a Neuropsych program which is an offshoot of Neuroscience so it's really weird to think that someone in a program like mine would do something so...sophisticated and horrific. According to authorities, he recently dyed his hair red and told the police that he was "the Joker". His apartment has also been booby-trapped so sophisticatedly that they're essentially going to blow up the apartment, from what they're saying on the news.

I feel so bad for those people, their families, and the family of the shooter. I also hate that because of this, AMC theaters are banning costumes so all of those people who worked hard on their's or who were excited to celebrate can no longer do that because someone had to ruin it for everyone.

I've heard that one woman couldn't find her friend and someone finally notified her that they saw her being dragged out by the smoke and taken to a hospital and that's the last time anyone has seen her. It's been hours and she has no idea what's happened to her- I feel awful for them.

Медвежуть, I know you've made it your thing to try and seem edgy and shocking with the things you say...but honestly?
Tone it down a bit.
You overplay it so much that it just seems more like you're the annoying little brother that doesn't know how to conduct himself in public and embarrasses their family.
There's the difference between a chuckle at an inappropriate time, and pissing on someones grave.

So yeah, if there's a real person in there somewhere maybe let them out to play every once in a while.
