pinocchio Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 You have crazy Santa impersonators shooting up shopping malls every goddamn year and yet people are perfectly content finishing their Christmas shopping time and time again. Why is the result going to be any different here?Because this massacre makes worldwide headlines? And some some amok Santa Claus in a US shopping mall doesn't?

Heretic Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Millions of Americans will now be waking up to hear this tragic news.I still can't believe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidBrennan Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Fox News is just calling it "Movie Massacre". So they're sticking with pure alliterism. (As they cut away to a pet food commercial. They're sure serious about this!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidBrennan Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 CNN downgraded deaths to 12.(Fox News had reported 15 - firmly - earlier.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctis Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I think the most disturbing thing about this entire thing was reading about the pregnant woman being shot and the little girl walking with holes in her back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Number of killings has been down-graged to 12. Obviously, still a horrific number, but good news at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTX Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 At times like this, who the hell cares what TDKR does at BO. That shouldn't even really matter, fellow Batman fans were killed and BO should be the last thing on our mind.It's a personal tragedy for the victims and their families , but the show must go on. We have been looking forward to this weekend for months/years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sims Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Because this massacre makes worldwide headlines? And some some amok Santa Claus in a US shopping mall doesn't?I don't really see how this story is going to get wall-to-wall coverage for days on end. Every other post-Columbine shooting stays in the headlines for a day or so and then goes away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jb007 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Some of you guys must be joking. CNN stating that it is Batman Movie Massacre is not sensationalism. It is a fact.Get off your phony high horses. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissykins Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Top story on Google news on all platforms:"Massacre Shooting at Batman Movie"2,700+ articles.I wonder if it'll have an effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatebox Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I don't really see how this story is going to get wall-to-wall coverage for days on end.

baumer Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Guys I'm going to re-open this in about 5 minutes. But this political arguing has to stop. No offense to anyone who feels otherwise, but if you want to talk about Israel, white supremacy and so on and so on, perhaps take it to another thread.This is still about box office and not a political forum.I'm sure most of the posters here want to talk about the tragedy and that's cool, but leave the insults out of it. This does nothing to help the cause and it just makes this place unhospitable. I'm not sure making commentary about America, Norway, KKK, White Supremecists and so on is what this thread should be about.I know there are a lot of people hot under the collar for some remarks that some posters have made and as I said earlier, all of the reports will be reviewed, but for now, we've got to keep our cool.I'll reopen it now. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockNrollaDIM Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Baumer, agreed, but this thread is and is going to continue to be such a clusterfuck, there's no controlling it that I can see.I haven't even read the details yet which I'm sure have poured in was asleep, at this point I don't even want to.. I really would like to know that cochofles is alright though, it is concerning because even if she put "Denver" as her location that doesn't necessarily mean she lives right in Denver but could be in a surrounding town.
