As I understand it, the gunman was captured alive. It would be nice to think that the authorities could use him for research purposes and try to at least establish why he felt the need to behave the way he did, but I suspect that a primitive desire for revenge will dictate most of their actions.

And that makes you 'not a gun nut' ....how? If you're too chickenshit to accept that the only way to resolve a problem is to address the root cause, don't waste my time trying to make excuses.

And you've resorted to insults and namecalling in near record time. You're not worth the time nor effort to try and have a discussion with. Thanks anyway though. :)

What a horrible horrible incident. *smh*

I'm just going to say this one bit, and then I'm not going to go back and forth with this because I don't feel like causing forum drama... but who the hell cares that parents had young children there? The movies are supposed to be a fun & safe place to enjoy yourself - at ANY time of the night, for ANY age.

And I'm not just picking on you - I've been seeing this everywhere and it's BS.

Agreed.

speaking of guns and shootings, there's a stand off with SWAT in my hometown right now. (very VERY small town) some nutjob had his girlfriend at gunpoint and she got away and called 911. now he's refusing to come out

people be crazy!!

Happens a lot more than you think. Trust me. I spent Memorial Day a few years ago watching SWAT take cover behind my vehicle b/c my neighbor was holding his mother at knifepoint. And that was long before I was on the SWAT team myself.

no. he will be coddled until he dies of natural causes.

This.

Yanno...that's just one of those things where I think it was just her time to go. She escaped it the first time, somehow, but this time she didn't. Very sad.

We had a police officer killed in a motorcycle wreck last year. Less than 6 hours before his accident, a guy swung on him w/ a knife at a local restaurant. Had he been a few inches closer, he would've died. That he died in a motorcycle accident 6 hours later floored me...obviously it was his time.

It really makes you think...or it does for me anyway.

I think the whole situation is horrible. Even if someone else in the theatre had a gun, there is no guarantee that he/she could have made a difference.
With all the confusion & the darkness in the auditorium, there could have been even more people injured, instead of the murderer being taken out.

You are right, we will all be better served if he is put to death by lethal injection. Hell, why make it painless? We can just hang him in the town square or stone him like good Christians do. Better yet, if we draw and quarter him behind a few horses the sheer gore factor will keep others from doing it. Maybe we can make the whole thing pay-per-view so the tax payers can be paid back.

Coddled? Seriously? You think due process and humane treatment equals coddling?

If anyone can demonstrate a historical event a deranged individual can kill a dozen people and injure dozens more in a crowd without a firearm, I will happily accept that the universal availability of firearms was not a factor in this tragedy.

I agree, he should be saved from a horrible existence in prison. Give him one appeal and then execute him immediately. Works for me.

And yes, I'm serious...and no, I don't debate so I'm not going to debate the issue, LOL Just my opinion. I'm a firm supporter of the death penalty.

You're not interested in a discussion.Your cliches are boring.

Gotta agree here for the most part concerning retro.

Gee, that took all of 30 seconds... so, are you actually going to hold up your end of things?

A SUICIDE bomber retro? Really?

Yet, I actually tried to have a discussion and provided facts and figures... while you attacked, insulted, and resorted to tired hyperbole. Again, nice try.

Seriously dude - you ever look in the mirror before you post?

He wanted another case where a deranged individual killed over 14 people without a gun... I gave him exactly what he asked for.

Show me where I've attacked or insulted anyone in this thread rather than having a discussion. Oh wait, that's right... I haven't. Perhaps you should get past your bizarre obsession with me though.
