14 Killed, 50 Wounded During Batman Screening

http://www.cnn.com/2012/07/20/us/colorado-theater-shooting/index.html?hpt=hp_t1



At least 14 people were killed and 50 were wounded when a gunman opened fire during an early Friday morning screening of the new Batman movie at an Aurora, Colorado, theater, Police Chief Dan Oates told reporters.


The heavily armed suspect, who was wearing a bulletproof vest, was apprehended by police in a parking lot at the theater, Frank Fania, a police spokesman told CNN. The identity of the suspect has not immediately been released.

He said there was confusion in the theater when the shooting began because many believed the sound of gunfire was coming from the movie next door.

Oates said that the suspect used some sort of "smoke device" before opening fire in the theater.

Witnesses, however, told KUSA that the gunman kicked in an emergency exit door and threw a smoke bomb into the darkened theater before opening fire.

The victims were mostly black. Until someone proves otherwise, I think it's safe to assume Yucky was the shooter.

True, but it's really hard to get an adult committed for mental illness. It has as much to do with the law as it does the capacity of mental health facilities.

The law is the problem. Some people will need to be warehoused.

At least she won't be making any more inane Twitter updates anymore.

I'm sure her followers were excited to read that the movie wouldn't start for another 20 minutes. They were holding their breath for the announcement that the movie had started.

It was a white shooter and mostly black audience. I assume it will start with race.

FYI - I do think the guy is probably just a whack job and he chose that theater because it was the closest to his home, not necessarily because of race.

Oops, too late. Brian Ross and George Snuffalupagus already linked a "Jim" Holmes to the Aurora Tea Party. Let the onslaught begin. It will start with his alleged Tea Party affiliation to paint Tea Party as a buch of racists.

Terrible "journalism" again...



...Keep in mind there are about 30 "Jim Holmes" in the Denver area. This could be anyone. Mentioning a Tea Party connection might make sense if you could actually confirm that it's the same guy. But ABC didn't.

More than 4 in the Aurora area alone. And all are over 40 - typical age of a Tea Party participant.

So take 20 don't-care-if-they-die terrorists. Arm them to the teeth and give them body armor, too. Designate movie theaters here and there - heck, just designate "venues". Tell them "Start at N o'clock. Don't stop till you're out of ammo."

How many were killed on 9/11?

No planes, no trucks fill of explosives. Just willing(wanting)-to-die bad guys.

You can bet the bad guys have thought this, too.

Besides that movie theater being closed for quite some time, no doubt some people will want to stay away from the movies this weekend.

There is also the risk of copycat killers.

The same parents that let the kid cry during the movie until someone frustrated enough gets a manager. It happened when I saw 300, a couple on the first row let their child cry until the theater manager came in and kicked them out.

Suspected gunman's apartment is heavily booby-trapped, police chief says

"It's booby trapped with various incindiery and chemical devices and trip wires," Aurora police chief Dan Oates said, adding that it could take days to work through the apartment safely.

That's one of the reasons there were so many casualties and injuries; people were slow to react because the sound of gunfire was thought to come from the neighboring theater that was also showing Batman.

"where police found him in full riot gear and carrying three weapons, including a AR-15 assault rifle, which can hold upwards of 100 rounds,"

From Inside Radio

Lincoln Financial Media’s “104.3 The Fan” KKFN, Denver is remembering Jessica Ghawi Redfield, a former intern at the sports station. She was among the victims of the mass shooting at an Aurora, CO movie theater early Friday. Program director Nate Lundy calls her “a beautiful soul, a Fan intern, and an aspiring sportscaster.” Redfield was 22. She reportedly had narrowly missed a mass shooting a Toronto mall last month.

Jump to desired conclusions much?



UPDATE:

ABC issues statement and Brian Ross offers on-air apology:

Editor’s Note: An earlier ABC News broadcast report suggested that a Jim Holmes of a Colorado Tea Party organization might be the suspect, but that report was incorrect. ABC News and Brian Ross apologize for the mistake, and for disseminating that information before it was properly vetted.

Ross’ clarification:

ROSS: We don’t know much about him. An earlier report that I had was incorrect that he was connected with the Tea Party in fact that’s a different Jim Holmes. He was not connected to the tea party and what we do know about him is he is a 24-year-old white male who went to Colorado for a PhD.

Since the gunman is from San Diego I think he definitely knows about what happened at Mcdonalds along with the date of when it happened.

Yeah, the media wasn't looking to peg this on the right wing from the get go.....


ABC News and Brian Ross are apologizing for an "incorrect" report that James Holmes, the suspect in the Colorado theater shooting, may have had connections to the Tea Party.

"An earlier ABC News broadcast report suggested that a Jim Holmes of a Colorado Tea Party organization might be the suspect, but that report was incorrect," ABC News said in a statement. "ABC News and Brian Ross apologize for the mistake, and for disseminating that information before it was properly vetted."

In a similar statement released minutes earlier, ABC News said the report was "incorrect" but did not include the apology. "Several other local residents with similar names were also contacted via social media by members of the public who mistook them for the suspect," the initial statement read.

So Ross's proof that Holmea wasn't a member of the Tea Party is that he was working in a PhD?

More and more, this shooting is looking like a deliberate plot staged by the
government itself much like Operation Fast and Furious pulled off by the ATF
(http://www.naturalnews.com/032934_ATF_illegal_firearms.html) which helped
smuggle tens of thousands of guns into Mexico for the purpose of causing "gun
violence" in the USA, then blaming the Second Amendment for it.

All this looks like James Holmes completed a "mission" and then calmly ended that
mission by surrendering to police and admitting everything. The mission, as we
are now learning, was to cause as much terror and mayhem as possible, then to
have that multiplied by the national media at exactly the right time leading up
the UN vote next week on a global small arms treaty that could result in gun
confiscation across America.

Even Forbes wrote about this quite extensively, warning readers about the coming
gun confiscation effort related to the UN treaty. The story says the UN treaty
could "override our national sovereignty, and in the process, provide license
for the federal government to assert preemptive powers over state regulatory
powers guaranteed by the Tenth Amendment in addition to our Second Amendment
rights."

In other words, this has all the signs of Fast & Furious, Episode II. I wouldn't
be surprised to discover someone in Washington was behind it all. After all,
there's no quicker way to disarm a nation and take total control over the
population than to stage violence, blame it on firearms, then call for leaders to
"do something!" Such calls inevitably end up resulting in gun confiscation, and
it's never too long after that before government genocide really kicks in like
we saw with Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao and other tyrants

Where's a gun when you need it? Maybe 2concerned and "another leftwing plot" can have a contest to see who is more paranoid - loser gets shot with his own gun. I can't believe our country has allowed itself to be held hostage by you rightwing gun-toting nutjobs.

I love the Fast & Furious paranoia. It really plays into the conspiracy theory believers' wheelhouse. A normal person would just see a plan to try to find and catch the thugs who are buying guns to ship to Mexico that was fucked up by incompetence and circumstance. The conspiracy theory types believe that the fuck up was the original plan...

There are 90 guns for every 100 people in the U.S.... It would take over 100 years to "disarm" the U.S.

I side with the gun nuts because it is because we are so well armed that the government can never pull a Syria on us. On the other hand, I understand that a large percentage of gun deaths are accidental or come from crimes of passion. If you get in a fight with your old lady and all you have are your fists, she ends up in the hospital. If you have a gun, she ends up in the morgue.

Lottery tickets are a tax on the stupid. Having a lot of guns in the house just increases the chance that someone in your family will die from a gun. Both should be legal and easy to do. Have fun!

It's not all white people. Just those extremist 'quiet loners.' You can't profile all white folks just to get a few them even if you know that they're fucking nuts and they're buying 10,000 rounds of ammo, multiple weapons, and assault gear. Wouldn't want to hurt anyone's feelings ya know. That would be insensitive.

To which ethnic group would you guess Jamie belongs?


"Some rows back, Jamie Rohrs heard the shots stop for a few seconds and wondered, could he run, could he escape? But first, could he find his 4-month-old son, Ethan? “My son’s on the floor,” he said in an interview with CNN. “As I turned to, like, find Ethan in the dark of the theater, with the gas, like, I’m so disoriented and I lose him, I just lose him. Then he opens fire again. So I jump, and I run.”

He searched for his girlfriend, Patricia Legarreta, his son, and her 4-year-old daughter. But he couldn’t see anything. “I don’t want to live if they all die. I’m praying, and I’m just praying. Just please let them get out alive.” "

His behavior doesn't add up.

Thousand of dollars worth of ammo. Thousands of dollars worth of miltary gear (body armor). Expensive, expertly skilled booby traps built on his aprtment. No background, no record of viloence, no records whatsoever except college-owned transcripts that are protected by current law and will never be realeased. He gave himself up with NO STRUGGLE. Staged just in time for the UN vote to takeover gun rights in this country. Fast and furioris was #1, this was #2. Obama and liberals have staged these events from top to bottom.

The question is, what ethnic group do YOU think Jamie belongs? I have no clue.

Until you are in a situation like this, don't pass judgments on the actions of people who were in this movie theater. Gunfire, tear gas, dark theater, people are dying, screaming, blood, panic...

Not to minimize the tragedy of what has happened, but he could have easily used explosives in the theater. We as a nation are fortunate that our psychos limit themselves to shootings; we can get on buses or trains or go shopping without worrying about being blown to bits.


Or look at China, where there were several mass attacks on schoolchildren with nothing more than knives.



People always will find a way to terrorize and kill, the weapon used is irrelevant.

obama is weak in the election. they have tried over and over to prompt gun control, killing their own citizens (brian terry). the un gun control election is our final stance for standing up to defend gun rights. and now all of a sudden we have an untraceable (protected by his university) accomplice playing right into the hands of local police. no source of income, hidden college background, minority area, just look at the facts and careful execution of a plan for nov. 2012 election.

that's the other thing the doesn't fit into the medias portrayal. a young toddler? these people were hired by anti gun forces within the US government to be there and make a sympathic ploy to the media , in a brazen attempt to support the reelection of Barack Hussein Obama and passage of a UN treaty that will destroy the second amendment. there's no way he could afford all those hi tech armor and maintained anonymity. open your eyes people. they're trying to take our way of life away.

Wow... two crazy posters at the same time and both on different tacks.

First the less crazy bigot:

> If I was in that situation, I would given my life to protect my child. Would not have ever run off.

Dude, this was chaos! Its a dark theater with tear gas, an asshole is spraying the audience with gunfire. There are screaming people running for the exits. Its hard enough to see the person sitting next to you in a theater in normal circumstances.

I agree taking a 4-month-old kid to a midnight movie is an asshole move, but I've seen assholes of every ethnic group do this. People drag their infants to every movie at all hours of the day for some reason, which is why I don't usually go to the theater.

---

Now for the wacko who thinks this event was staged by the Obama government:

Dude, you need to get some help. No one wants to take away your guns so badly that they would deliberately stage an event like this to manipulate the media.

You need to turn off Fox News and stop reading the conspiracy web sites for a while and realize that there is a real world out there.

@Ralph

The kid was apparently a brilliant student before going off the deep end like this. The parents seem to have money and gladly supported him while he was about to pursue his doctorate degree.

He probably had a living allowance for food and other stuff from his parents and decided to use his money to buy all this stuff. A few thousand dollars over a few months wouldn't be too hard to spend.
