Re: 20 Shot in Colorado at midnight showing of Dark Knight

Even if it was true, it's a complete asshole move...

The guy is a murdered and a psychopath and a lunatic. I don't care to know anything about who he supports politically...

 

Re: 20 Shot in Colorado at midnight showing of Dark Knight

I thought the same thing... It may be awhile before I go to the movies again...

No chance. Has nothing to do with midnight. This movie is the event of the summer. Dude knew it would be the place to go to pull off something like this. Didn't matter if it were high noon or 12 midnight.

Sorry for the huge link...

He made it out to the parking lot?

He was studying neuroscience at CU, although he was in the process of withdrawing.

Midnight movies aren't going away. Movie attendance won't take much of a hit. People still went to restaurants after the McDonald's shooting and the Luby's shooting.

We had a neighbor do a white-trash low-class move when she dressed up as a shot Luby's worker for Halloween two weeks after that happened in 1991.

 

Re: 20 Shot in Colorado at midnight showing of Dark Knight

I think it will definitely impact moviegoing... I know that's not rational at all, but I think it will...

There will be a copycat crime somewhere.

From a medical career to mass murderer.

His parents' hearts have to be beneath the gutter. You have dreams for your kids and his just went from sky to hell.

This gets me to wondering....if adversity drove him to this, are we really teaching our kids how to deal with adversity?

 

Re: 20 Shot in Colorado at midnight showing of Dark Knight

I will bet eight billion imaginary internet dollars that mental illness drove him to do this, nothing more or less.

 

Re: 20 Shot in Colorado at midnight showing of Dark Knight

Death penalty.

And I don't really give a flying fuck if he was "mentally ill."

If you are so deranged you cannot control your impulses to randomly kill, you need to be put down like a rabid animal.

For the good of society, snuff him.
