    The guy came in there looking to kill and maim. He was prepared to do damage. No one knew what he was going to do. It's difficult to prepare for such things and anyone who says otherwise is full of it.

    You moron. It's summer. The kid is out with her parent enjoying a much-hyped movie on its opening night. Nothing's wrong with that except for the asshole who had a malfunctioning brain who decided to spray the place.
    Man of all the posts I have ever read here at SportsJournalists.com, including mine, yours is the most spiteful and asinine.

    I'd say the moron is the guy who took the statement hideously out of its context.

    I once mention to a friend I couldn't understand parents shopping with their young kids at a Winco (a 24-hour grocery store out in these parts) after 9 p.m. - she said maybe the parents work late and couldn't afford a baby sitter. I conceded her point. But given the price of movie tickets these days, I don't know if the same argument applies here. Go to a county or state fair midway over the next month - it's like a convention of bad judgement.
