ZattMurdock Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Oh would you stop. You have downgraded from a troll to a opportunist. Get off your false high horse and stop posting.Dude. I didn't sleep over this and my whole family is watching the news here in the living room. We are late to work and I'm schocked how people can think this way about ANYONE feeling bad over this. We have a fucking FELLOW USER here on the boards that lives in Denver. If this doesn't make you feel nothing, if it doesn't get you worried, if it doesn't MOVE you that fellow Batman fans are dead for trying to watch the film, I don't know what to say to you.Flame wars are PETTY AND OUT OF PLACE right now. And it should be forever this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatebox Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Could be like the singer Selena being killed by the leader of a fan club. Man, for a second I thought you just spoiled a big moment in TDKR. Phew! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidBrennan Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 America is VERY safe.Safest it's been ever. We just watch more TV and fixate on these statistical aberrations more than ever.http://reason.com/archives/2009/10/19/were-all-felons-nowAmerica's violent crime rate has PLUMMETED in the past 20 years. PLUMMETED.If you're worried about your life, let it be over your health and that fat you've got dangling over your waste, not these aberrational - though tragic (and interesting) news events. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidBrennan Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Ahhh, Chris Rock, that psychology trained sensible man.Yeh we should turn to him for hope. Yes, Chris Rock's observation was very logical. If you want to defer to Dr. Drew or whatever resident TV psychologists, that's your business. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ariadne Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 This thread is a train wreck, I feel sorry for the mods this weekend. Can we all try to tone it down guys and stay civil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Ledger contributed to the box office because a) his performance was praised without end and because he had a tragic death.The idea that people were shot while they watched a Batman movie will hardly have the same positive effect.And Ledger didn't die on OW.

Sims Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 And Ledger didn't die on OW.If he did though it would have only pushed the numbers even higher. I agree that it's completely different from this scenario though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockNrollaDIM Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I just saw the Gangster Squad trailer again. There is no way the theater scene is in the final cut of the movie now.Yeah that's what I thought of last night.. chilling. I thought about how creepy it was when I saw it int he theater, before the shooting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozymandias Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Ahhh, Chris Rock, that psychology trained sensible man.Yeh we should turn to him for hope. Chris Rock is a fucking idiot. This is a guy that thinks the 4th of July is a white racist's holiday. That comment he made is hysterically dumb as well. Thanks Captain Obvious.

Sims Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 This thread has turned into a moronic political clusterfuck and you should all be ashamed of yourselves. I'm going to sleep for an hour now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZattMurdock Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 One more, a bunch of sports personalities are posting about one of the casualties “@MichelleDBeadle: One of those murdered in the theater was @JessicaRedfield. A funny Texas girl who was making her way in sports. A damn waste.†https://twitter.com/JessicaRedfield Girl looks like an angel. JessicaRedfield Of course we're seeing Dark Knight. Redheaded Texan spitfire, people should never argue with me.Maybe I should get in on those NHL talks... @JessicaRedfield @jessespector MOVIE DOESN'T START FOR 20 MINUTES :( This is fucked up.

druv10 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 You are just a sad hypocrite! Do you know how many people die every day! DO YOU!How many get gun down in a US theater? This hits home here because a lot of us were at midnight screening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Nevada Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I hope people dont start defending the killer, like "he had a bad childhood", "he was a victim of his enviroment" etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hasanahmad Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Most likely this will be something similar to Columbine, a nutcase opportunist(s) who saw an occasion with maximum number of people gathered together in a confined place and used it for his/her perverted plan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTX Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 America is VERY safe.Safest it's been ever. We just watch more TV and fixate on these statistical aberrations more than ever.Doesn't change the fact that if guns were prohibited for purchase by ordinary people, this massacre would never happen. The "experts" try to blame violence in movies and video games, when really gun ownership is the real problem. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbyk1133 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Any person with a brain will instatntly realise that a country with so many guns in circulatgion can't be safe. If this incident doesn't lead to a revision of gun laws, I don't know what can. Massacres like this occur in the US on a regular basis.There are more guns in the US than people. How scary is that.

DavidBrennan Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 If this guy loved Batman so much wouldn't he have wanted to have seen the movie before he shot up the place?Maybe. Like I said, Fox jusy reported it was a working police theory, and it does seem to jive with the fact that he thought he was going to get away, scot free, and he chose this particular movie event (rather than any random Friday night). Normally, we'd all expect this to be a murder-suicide, or at least a would-be suicide by cop. But it clearly was not. This bolsters the police theory.
