My wife left the TV on when she left for work this morning. She sent me a text saying "sorry I left the TV on... wanted to make sure you saw the news on how f*#ked up some people can be". There's no doubt in my mind that she sent that with tears in her eyes.

He didn't go in through the front. And even so, most theaters don't have armed guards.SlyTF1 wrote:It sounds some **** the Joker would pull too. Tear gas, shooting into the crowds, killing people.

He was getting a PhD in neuroscience, it's not like he was just some nobody. Also, completely ignoring incidents like this isn't going to make them go away. The best thing we can do is let him know what a goddamn monster he became.
Still, I'm very interested in learning why he did this. I don't think it was something as simple as a desire for fame or infamy, or just being a nutjob.

I heard that he was possibly a disgruntled ex employee of the theater. But I want to know exactly why he did it too.

Getting a PhD or even having a PhD doesn't make you anybody. You're just another forgettable guy with a larger debt than the average American.

I don't know what bothers me more - that you're so quick to call for the dismissal of due process, or that you specifically want a public hanging.
Perhaps it would help if I understood your position better; when you say there are "too much of these shootings happening", are you being quasi-ironic (i.e., you're just saying that one is too many), or are you concerned that this is a frequent occurrence?

And who knows... That may be next.. I will be with you dying because I refuse to be tagged like an animal.

I guess I should clarify. Yes, you could find the signs and hints towards certain things like this happening. BUT if the person was never actually labeled as having a mental illness, and wasnt observed, then it's hard to pick up on said hints and act on them. You would need to observe such a person, closely, if they dont outwardly show their psychotic side. Those who do show it are usually hospitalized and observed.
BeastProwl wrote:A person can be normal all their life, and one day snap, without even realising it. Without an in depth psychological study on that one person (Out of millions of people, might I add) then stuff like this will keep on happening, because its too outright un-predictable, unless you know what is going on with each and every person's brain, each and every hour of each and every day.
Seeing as how that would be impossible without, say, some sort of chip or card or daily scan or something of that nature, it would be impossible to moniter every one single human being on this planet. Their brains, at least.

He was wearing a gas mask and body armor, and people pointed out Bane also wears those things in the movie.
