Screw that guy, screw Brian Ross and George Stephanopoulos, and anyone else whose desire is to take this and immediately attempt to find other places other than the shooter to place the blame on to pursue a political agenda. It's sickening and makes me question humanity almost as much as this shooter.
 



Yeah, I know. But give me a few days to be pissed off, okay? I'll be back to normal here soon.
 

It also makes sense for the Joker to appeal to a person who is about to go on a senseless violent rampage full of wonton destruction.

That doesn't mean the movie/comic book is to blame for this looney's actions. But it does make sense for someone like that to be drawn to character of the joker.
 

"most" is a stretch. "some" would be more accurate.
 

He deserves a fair trial to plead his case. The problem is he will get a boatload of appeals and retrials and waste money that way.
 

I'm waiting for Limbaugh to come along and claim this "liberal killer" came dressed as Bane to give Bain Capitol a bad name and sabotage Romney.

Some people have no scruples whatsoever.

Will this tragedy cause anyone to rethink seeing this movie?

I'm heading out to see it within the hour, just curious if anyone has any predictions on how ticket sales might be effected?

Batman is about fighting crime, and bringing justice to a society.

I hope to see it very soon.

I hope not. It was an excellent movie with perhaps the best ending to a Trilogy I've ever seen.As a stand alone movie, I liked The Dark Knight better....but Rise's, when viewed in the scope of all three films, is fan-freaking-tastic.

It really could be his reasoning for his choice to attack the Batman premier. He's clearly nuts, and it makes a sort of insane sense.

I'm going to be curious if the nutjob was shooting through the movie screen like in the Gangster Squad Trailer?

I guess you have little sense of irony.

Kinda lile Brian Ross reporting that a Tea Party member, Michael Holmes is the suspect.
 

I read he was withrdrawing from the Med school he was attending, I can only wonder what the circumstances of that withdrawl. Was the school or his family aware of any eratic behavior? If so did they report it?

Let's see if ABC reports that the suspect is a registered Democrat.

Not that I think his being a Democrat has a damn thing to do with it, except that the liberal media, such as ABC displayed, deserves a seat at a midnight movie on occasion.

And yes, as some have noted, he had his hair dyed red, and was being the Joker in real life.

The only thing I am speculating on is many weeks the anti-2nd amendment tards will be calling for more infringements on the 2nd amendment.
 
...guns are attacking people now?

Batman didn't show up to subdue the gunman or rescue anyone from the theater.
 
From the OP (PeteEU) on, I have little but contempt to those looking for political traction while the corpses are still warm. Even if he was Tea Party, OWS or a dingbat socialist like those who populate this site, I could not bring myself to condemn those of his affiliation. Now if he were al-Queda, that would be different.

and the equally silly argument will be made that, if only more of the theater goers had been armed, perhaps they could have taken him down.

and his political party, religion, tastes in movies, sexual orientation, and a whole lot of other irrelevant issues will be brought up as well.
 

Silly ? This video was from an incident exactly one week ago today. North of me. Only takes one minute to watch, and it is non-stop action
