iluvtofly 0 #1 July 20, 2012 http://gma.yahoo.com/mass-shooting-colo-movie-theater-14-people-dead-085940786--abc-news-topstories.html Even the movie theaters aren't safe anymore. By tomorrow they will be blaming a video game, or some music for what happened. Never mind that it was probably another case of parents not paying attention or being willing to admit that their son needed psychiatric help. They will probably interview his old teachers who will say they knew something was wrong but didn't want to hurt his feelings. Everyone is too damn politically correct these days, and too afraid to hurt someones feelings. Not to mention the parents out there that when you try to tell them something is legit wrong with their kid they freak out and sue for defamation of character or some crazy shit like that. Hate to break it to you Mom and Dad, not all kids are perfect. Do you want to be responsible for your child doing something like this because you were too worried about appearances when someone told you that you might want to get your child checked out? I don't think so. Be more involved in your child's life. Pay attention to the little things they're saying and doing. If a teacher mentions something might be wrong, don't just brush it off. Too many crazies are slipping through the cracks because people are too afraid to say anything. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davelepka 4 #4 July 20, 2012 QuoteReserving judgement about the root cause until we actually know something I can't help but think that this is some sort of 'fantasy' realized. I haven't seen the movie yet, but with a villian named 'Bane', and the Joker from the last movie promoting 'general chaos' for the sake of 'chaos', this really smacks of some guy who wanted to play out a scene from the movie. Tear gas, guns, explosives, it certainly wouldn't be out of place in a super hero movie screen-play. Of coruse, this is just speculation. Watch it turn out to be some girl he liked was seeing the movie without him. I wouldn't be surprised if Facebook has something to do with this, either the guy read something on there that set him off, or he wronte something on there that should have tipped others off, I'll bet the 'F' word comes up sooner or later.

Bertt 0 #6 July 20, 2012 You're reserving judgement. The talking heads on the news networks know no such restraint. Yes, they've already decided he played lots of video games. I agree with Spence; just move this to SC. Condolences to all those affected.You don't have to outrun the bear. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
