I have a 9 year old, and the story indicated one of the victims was that age. My first thought is unfortunately of a slow grueling death for the man they apprehended. I want to physically and emotionally tear him apart.
This. This. A hundred times this.
For those questioning the presence of small kids, I get it but, bottom line, poor parenting choices shouldn't subject your kids to this.

pfft, who's got time for that? Read a headline and jump to conclusions!
Now we got 'funny'.

Not funny.
I didn't mean it to be funny. That's why I used the word "ironic" not long after I used the word "tragic."

One of the reports I read said he came in through the emergency exit, which isn't uncommon (back in high school me and friends used to do the same thing to avoid buying a ticket). Why would he walk in through the front entrance with 3 guns? He planned for the element of suprise. Walking in through the front is not an element of suprise. Anybody notice he waited until a shootout in the movie before he started firing? It was cold, brutal, and pre-meditated. He'll most likely die by lethal injection in a few years.

I work with a guy who's daughter if not for sleeping in and missing class would have been in or around the same building at the time the VT massacre happened. She now lives in Colorado and about 20 minutes away from the movie theater, in which she has gone many times. She and her roommate had been talking about going to the priemer but had decided not too because they didnt want to stay up that late before going to work in the morning. Crazy.
Very sad stuff. Thoughts and prayers to all those involved.

That is so very messed up. I cannot imagine being filled with so much hate that you would do such things.

I just don't know how a person could do something like this to innocent people. Hell I didn't even know there was a Batman movie coming out and surprised at how many people actual go to see Batman movies.

Some onsite footage in the theater.

I think this scene comes to mind in regards to how this tragedy should have ended with James Holmes.
