You really don't know anything about the American Revolution do you?

If the Revolution hadn't happened you'd still be speaking English. It was a stupid thing to say. Get over it. Somebody somewhere probably still loves you.

I gotta give you credit-- you kept it together for almost a whole page. C+ for effort.

Maybe 100-round magazines aren't so bad:

The source said that Holmes allegedly had obtained a 100-round drum magazine that attached to the weapon but that such large magazines are notorious for jamming.

The law enforcement official said authorities think the gunman first used the shotgun — some victims have buckshot wounds — and then began using the assault rifle, which jammed.

I haven't followed this as much as a lot of people but how did he walk into the theater wearing full body armor, including a helmet and carrying 4-5 guns? They used to not let you in if you had a drink from the outside.

He secreted his arsenal in an average sized US cinema soda cup.

This is a tangent and as an aside to the parenting comments, but one of the victims was a six year old girl. What kind of white people take their six year old daughter out to a midnight movie?

Six years old.

Midnight showing of a movie action-packed with violence

Lie Nap. One genius reporter must have confronted the dead child's father with that question as his 3 times shot pregnant wife lay in the hospital dying. His answer was that baby sitter's get $15-$16 an hour and they couldn't afford it.

My parents took me to see The Empire Strikes Back in the theater late at night when I was little, and everybody had a blast. Parents can do as they see fit in terms of stuff like that and shouldn't be made to feel guilty about it. It's not like they were screening The Rules Of Attraction or something. And besides, if a parent does their job in teaching the child that movies are makebelieve, violence like you see in Batman shouldn't matter. My G.I. Joes used to kick the shit out of each other on the living room floor when I was a kid, just like in movies, but I never shot anybody, because I learned right from wrong and what's reality and fiction from loving, fair, responsible parents.

Apparently he walked out through the fire door, propped it open, suited up and came back in. What I don't understand is why there wasn't an alarm on that door.

Because those doors don't have alarms. They're normal exit doors. It's not unusual to see someone leave through them. The reason most people don't is because once you go out through there you're behind the theater with no way back in. People would rather leave through the lobby, especially since most people park in front of the movies, not behind.

I guess I should go to the movies more often. I assumed they would be like emergency exit doors everywhere else.

The theaters that I go to have people exit through those doors - they don't empty into a parking lot though but back into the building.

My kids know I have guns; they are even allowed to 'play' guns/shooting within certain parameters, ect. They wrestle/rough house, ect. I don't believe I put them in a bubble by not letting a 6 and 3 year old watch violent films. Shit, my son has a Batman cup and Batman PJ's, too. While I do agree with your last sentence, I see no need for a 6 year old to be exposed to it just so the parents can get some entertainment. The other issue is, a 6 year old might get a quick nap during the day--might. Then, that kid goes to a midnight movie which likely puts her in bed at 3AM, maybe later? For a wedding or something, I can understand it. For an opening night of a fucking movie? No way....JMO. If they couldn't afford a baby sitter then they probably should not have shelled out for the midnight showing, either. Rent the DVD next month for three bucks.

With all that out of the way, I truly feel for those people...including the parents of that little girl, of course.

Furthering this, which I entirely agree with, is that it was a premier - you have no idea what is in the movie beyond the trailer. I don't take my son to any kids that have adults as their target audience without chatting with a few parents before heading out the door.

This is good, conscientious parenting.

Fuck people bringing infants to movies. If you can't afford or are to lazy to get a babysitter, then keep your ass at home and rent a DVD.

An aside, at the trilogy showing, one got a lanyard with a ticket on it that allowed coming and going as one pleased, with a half hour between each movie. When I saw the post above, this was my first thought as to how/when he did the change, but the exit door (a long-abused method of sneaking friends into movies by some) makes much more sense.

Apparently this guy thinks he is actually the Joker...

just put the kid down for a nap

viewtopic.php?f=1&t=221834

and check out the latest flick at the multiplex

Bet there weren't any nigger babies there. They ain't got no money and besides Batman and Robin are white.

on shut up you condescending self-righteous assholes

as if what some random parent does with one random 6 yaer old has anything to do with anything

they didn't take the kid to a raping

you might not like their choice but why is their choice such a focus by so many?

oh thats right, we all love to be indignant and judge others, especially when it comes to parenting

You're wrong Proto. A midnight showing of a filthy comic book movie is not the place for a 6 year old.

That's why I have my young son at the local state college wholesome football camp where he is safe.

Not true. Theaters come in all shapes and sizes, locations in every population density, in every rural and urban setting, and parking is just as likely to be in front as behind, as in a lot across the street, etc.

Most adults leave through the lobby so they can use the restroom before leaving.

You're not really familiar with the concept of freedom are you?

With rights come responsibilities. People were all for spitballing to get some ideas so what about giving everyone permission to carry arms but making 20% of all licensed holders of firearms practice and carry those firearms every year? What would be so bad? You want to carry? You fucking carry to stop other people availing of the same right spraying a cinema with gunfire. Think about it, Pinky, you fucker.

If there weren't such strict gun control laws in the US, everybody could have had automatic weapons and returned fire.

Yes, the outcome would surely have been much better if everyone in the cinema started shooting automatic weapons. A lot less people would have been shot
