12 shot dead at 'Dark Knight Rises' screening in Aurora, Colorado

Why was there a baby in a movie theater?

To make everyone's movie experience miserable. It's just like when people bring them on airplanes and all you hear from Chicago to Frankfurt is constant crying.

Lord, ain't that the truth !!! I really hate the flight back from Guangzhou to LAX, as the back half of my plane is filled with adopted babies and a parent or two - and they all cry. I hate it so much, I pay for being in the forward part of the plane.

Darnell, before you decided to make this personal, the point I was trying to make is that it is not always easy for university students to get mental health help.

alas - my point is, and always will be - is that it's exceptionally straightforward to get help. Yer missing that point, and it shows

I know it's more fun for you to try and make me look like a floor sweeper, but that's OK. It just shows how disjointed you are from the real issues.

- fun? No, I asked about yer position in that humongous mental health organization that you work for. I did NOT say you were a floor sweeper, and I never alluded to any position that might put you in that strata. You wrongly inferred that I'm making some attempt to make you appear to be less than you truly are. This wrong inference speaks volumes, when yer not speaking volumes, and it shows.

As to the 'real' issues - for this shooter, at the theatre in Aurora - here's the Real Issue: No one around him was carrying a pistol. He walked out alive instead of being shot after the first 4 seconds of shooting.

Another issue , which I've addressed obliquely with you (alas) is the concept of him being 'found' in some mental screening done at his local university. I've not mentioned this before - I've only mentioned 'walk in' on one's own volition. He didn't walk in anywhere, and he was notice-ably absent for any screening event ....

Look - If you truly feel that I'm attacking you, your background, your life experiences - I'm dreadfully sorry - I'm truly not attacking anything. I know it can read that way - but I've no interest in attacking you, yer background, or your son's experience at his university. . . You made that an issue, and I'm telling ya - yer posits and experiences are miniscule, compared to what actually goes on at universities.

I have to question your posit, in toto, because it goes totally against the real-world at all universities in the USA. I do mean 4 year-degree-granting universities, btw...

So - are we to spar more? I hope not - I've no interest to be disengenuous to your life experiences...

OK, so 200 people in 13 years... Oh the horror....

I'm sure you'd feel the same if it was Vanessa.

That's about 200 too many.

Honestly, I think you just practice for your radio time on us poor fools here at VJ. No one could possibly be as callous as you are unless it's for money.

It's an act. He likes pretending like he's a tough guy on the internet.

How do you know the guy didn't try to get mental health help? Do you know him? Do you know how the psych department at his school operates? Do you know if they do intake 24/7?

And as "fer" disingenous, I think you should look that word up. Because that's what you just were.

Stop with the personal attacks or administrative action will be taken.

1. No Published Documentation. All the Media bid for it, upwards of 2 mil USD. No Entity Had Any.

2. Nope.

3. Yup.

4. Yup.

Another problem, alas, is that he's an 'off-campus student' - many things available to the campus populace are lost, for him.

PHI levies are less than 2 mil. No One bit - as there's no information available. He's not had any intake.

Look - I suggested that we truly aren't sparring. You've picked it up, and are running with it.

Why?

[Darnell 8,478]

Meanwhile - back on topic. (Thanks, Ms. Jo, for the romp - I can't say it was fun. Thanks for bowing out though - I really appreciate the act of kindness that you've done.)

Look, the shooter fell through the cracks. His parents, his first uni, his second uni, his part time job stuff -

NO ONE caught the fact that he's a loon.

He just 'flipped off' and did the deed. With no one watching him prior - who was responsible for his actions?

Those of us who've been here for both incidents can tell the difference, and it's big.

Pray tell? What is the difference? 2 nuts walk into a high school and kill. One nut walks into a move theater and kills. BTW I worked in south Lakewood when Columbine went down.

I lived in Aurora when I first moved to Colorado. It reminded me of Detroit except the crack was more expensive.

[MyLittlePony 340]

I used to go to the movie theater not anymore ill wait for the DVD to come out they are getting faster anyways after release of movie.
