I had no intention of steering this away from the horrific nature of the crime. This guy is a menace and should be locked away from the public

People should be able to bring their infants, toddlers, and young children to movie showings at any hour and not fear gunplay or death.

My apologies for derailing. Won't happen again.

You're on topic, Jim. This kind of tragedy takes a toll on all of us and we think "what if xxx would have been different". What if the kids had been home in bed? What if this guy had been in treatment instead of out in the public? Normal and shows that you give a shit.

This was terrible and senseless. I can't imagine what the families of the victims are going through tonight and will be for the rest of their lives. My heart goes out to them, too.

I'll take a five year old out at midnight on a school night to catch the first run of a Harry Potter movie. But he's a wizard, so you have to. He would know if you didn't.

Where did my post go to Cracker on this subject? I had a pic of the little star wars guy controlling the car and it went poof? WTF?

I don't see it, User and all the posts are in the proper order for this thread so nothing has been deleted.

I just went through your posting log for yesterday, you have two posts in this thread, this one that I'm responding to & #31.

Maybe she only thought she posted. That's happened to me once or twice when I preview something and then get distracted.

Measures to minimize future theater crimes are being implemented:

-Police say they want to discourage the potential for copycat incidents
-Some are beefing up security at theaters, particularly those with "The Dark Knight Rises"
-AMC Theaters says it will not allow face-covering masks or fake weapons

Authorities plan to enter the booby- trapped apartment of the suspect in the deadly shooting spree at an Aurora, Colo., movie theater Saturday.

The suspect, James Holmes is accused of going on a shooting rampage at the movie theater during Friday’s midnight showing of “The Dark Knight Rises.” He was packing as many as 6,000 rounds of ammunition with the ability to shoot up to 50 a minute, police said.

Holmes’ apartment is believed to be loaded with explosives. Attempts to enter the apartment Friday were unsuccessful and police postponed efforts until Saturday. The FBI, ATF and local authorities are working together to enter the apartment.

Sgt. Cassidy Carlson of the Aurora Police Dept. said that authorities have broken the mission down into three phases and plan to carry them out throughout Saturday.

"There are still unknowns, we're not exactly sure of everything that's in there," Sgt. Carlson said. The unknown includes jars that are believed to contain accelerates.

The first phase will be to render the area safe and address the immediate threat of the wire trip booby trap, which may include a controlled detonation. The public has been warned that parts of these phases may cause loud booms and have planned for reverse 911 calls for the area so that the public may remain informed.

Authorities say they will send a robot into the apartment.

The second phase will be to dispose of the aerial shells which will include placing the devices into sand trucks and taken to a disposal site for a controlled detonation. Authorities believe there may be up to as many as 30 shells.

The third phase will be the investigation of the apartment itself.

I've lost my mind. I must have typed it, previewed it but missed the post reply part.

a few of the murdered. :(



The last act of Matt Quinn, pictured second from left, was to save his lover's life by using his body to shield her as James Holmes opened fire in the late-night showing of The Dark Knight Rises in Aurora Colorado killing him and eleven others. His is just one of the tragic stories to emerge from the massacre, which began when the 24-year-old PhD student tossed a gas canister into the theatre and began firing . Also confirmed dead are: (left to right) Rebecca Wingo, Micayla Medek, Jon Blunk, AJ Boik, Alex Sullivan, John Thomas Larimer and Jessica Ghavi

There's a picture out now that MIGHT be of him from some adult friend finder/sex site. Can't find it on my phone.

If it's not him, this other guy is going to be pissed!!

here it is User-->

The photo above sure looks like Holmes.

LE is saying that they now have evidence, via deliveries to Holmes' work and home, that he had been been deliberating and calculating the attack and booby trapping of his residence for over 4 months.

Surely gonna be a boatload of charges against this one.

The victims' photos make me tear up; same anytime something like this happens here or abroad. They just went to see a movie, FFS.

Why??? What on earth made him do this??

I just heard that the mom of the 6 year old that was killed was wounded herself and they haven't told her yet that her daughter died.

they did tell her and she's in shock. in ICU.

The hospitalized mother of a 6-year-old girl gunned down in the Colorado movie theater massacre finally learned this morning that her daughter was killed, a relative told the Herald, news that left the aspiring nurse “absolutely devastated” as she recovers from her own injuries.

“She took it very badly,” Jean Moser said of her granddaughter, Ashley, who she said remains at Aurora Medical Center with a bullet in her neck and at least one bullet wound in her abdomen. “I know she was shocked.”

Ashley Moser, 25, and her 6-year-old daughter, Veronica, were at Aurora’s Century Theatre multiplex Friday for the midnight showing of “The Dark Knight Rises” when, police said, 24-year-old James Eagan Holmes opened fire on the crowd, killing 12 and injuring 58 more.

Jean Moser confirmed her great-granddaughter, Veronica, was among the victims, saying the little girl had finished kindergarten and was excited to start taking swimming lessons this summer.

“She was very delightful, lively little girl,” Jean Moser told the Herald by telephone from her home in Denver. “She was very engaging. It’s a terrible, terrible tragedy.”

Jean Moser said her granddaughter Ashley had been upgraded from critical condition, and has started communicating with family. Ashley was unaware her baby girl had been killed until family members at the hospital told her this morning, Jean Moser said.

I'm on my phone so this will be quick, just wanted to share:

The man accused in the Colorado movie theater massacre was still behaving erratically on the day after his rampage at a midnight screening of “The Dark Night Rises” — the last film in the Batman trilogy.“Let’s just say he hasn’t shown any remorse,” a jail employee told the Daily News. “He thinks he’s acting in a movie.”A released inmate said Holmes’ behavior behind bars was increasingly irrational.“He was spitting at the door and spitting at the guards,” the inmate told The News. “He's spitting at everything. Dude was acting crazy."

My .02 This guy is having multiple orgasms from staying alive through this. I think he's getting off on being the biggest star for the next fifteen minutes.

I'll tell you: ESAD has taught me how these fuckers think.

6000 rounds of ammo? WTF. How was he able to buy all this through the mail, and get it delivered to a private address with no red flags, bells or whistles going off?
Maybe I am wrong, but wasn't the Brady Bill supposed to increase background checks for firearms? Don't they check for a Mental illness background? His Dad even said he was nuts.
