Trying my best not to rush to judgement here--the facts aren't all in of course--but WTF people?

One of the injured was just 3 months old, according to hospital workers.

Trying not to rush to judgement about what? People killing 3-month-olds? People taking 3-month-olds to the movies?

That.  It was a midnight showing.  Hey--we've had babysitters bail on us, but this wasn't like a court appearance or something.  Pretty sure the movie'll be running for a while.

Everyone's out on their high horse. This sucks. Be glad you're alive.

Not saying they desrved it obvviously, just... you know...what's the upside to brtnging a 3-month old to a midnight showing of a blockbuster film?  Even if nothing happened that's annoying on a few levels.

No, I wouldn't bring my 2 year old to a midnight movie. To any movie. I keep him chained to the radiator and feed him twice a day. NO TALKING.

Pretty sure we waited until my daughter was 3 and it was "Horton Hears a Who"...nonetheless this is some awful shit.  Firing on a captive audience immediately reminds of me of Cole Hall.

Well, Aurora, Colorado is pretty ghetto.

Is it?  I honestly don't know.  If so, then the comments I've seen saying "If the theatergoers were armed, this would never have happened"  is even more idiotic.

3 month olds with guns? what a world.

Not sure if you're FB friends with Scott from softball, but he had a friend who said so.  In fairnes, it wasn't helped with Scott himself coming out in favor of politicizing it (from the left), but still.  Dumb argument.

A great deal of it is, anyways. Though Aurora's out in the seemingly never-ending sprawl east of Denver and is pretty fucking big. So I'm sure there are nice parts, too.

But by and large its reputation, deserved or not, is "ghetto". (For Colorado.)

Nothing says safety like multiple gunmen opening fire at each other in a movie theater.

I suspect part of the idea is that this potentially mentally ill man would have reconsidered this clearly insane and likely suicidal act upon a rational consideration of the threat posed to him by a legally armed citizenry.

Or maybe seeing the threat presented by an armed citizenry, he decides to build a bomb instead.

Pfft.  Concealed carry tactical nukes is the ultimate safety net.  Local MAD is a winner.

The suspect.


Edit: Am I wrong for having a knee jerk reaction and not allowing my kids to go see this movie? At least for awhile?

The suspect.

Using a camera with a zoom lens, Lujan's roommate said he could see into the suspect's kitchen, where a poster of Will Farrell in the movie "Anchorman" was hanging on the kitchen wall.

When I got up this morning and saw this page full of posts, I assumed they were spoilers of some kind.

Guess I called that putt a little early.

Has this already been politicized?

Gil, I would like to welcome you to the United States of America. Not a bad place, but if someone picks his nose in public, it immediately is used by Ann Coulter to explain that under Obama nose pickers went up 75% and by Paul Krugman to explain that Bush blocked anti-nose picking legislation four times and by Tom Friedman to explain the Chinese not only are more efficient at picking their nose, but because of the so-awesome government there, they have made boogers a delicacy and created thousands of new industries around nose picking, SO WE ARE SO SCREWED AS A NATION.

Twelve people were killed and 50 were wounded in an event that should be nightmare fuel for anyone. Why would the Brady people or the NRA wait for the next of kin to be notified?
