    Where are the armed citizens? Sad stuff. If just one or 2 people in there concealed carry, things would have gone differently.

    And why was there a 3 month old baby there?! Wtf?

    I hear you, but don't let this nutjob change your life. Tell him "F you" by letting her go enjoy.

    Who in their right mind takes a 6 year old to a midnight showing of batman?!

    That being said... tragic. thought and prayers go out to those affected.
    Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
    Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
    Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.

    Tragic thing to hear about first thing in the morning, Heard there was a 3 month old baby that was injured and released from the hospital.


    RIP those who lost there lives and hoping for a recovery those in critical condition, nobody should have to fear for their life when doing something as innocent as watching a movie.

    Wow.. That's absolutely horrible. My condolences to the friends and families of those killed. I hope it's no one I know. Ive always reffered to that theater as the ghetto theater. I quit going to it years ago. Was always a bunch of gang bangers and people causing shit there.

    Very sad.

    Re: Mass Shooting in Aurora, CO

    My gf was working last night at the Aurora Center ICU and guess a bunch of the severly injured were brought into her unit. As far as I know they are bringing in all medical staff and she may be working over 24 hours now to care for them.

    So tragic...

    Likewise and why I don't go to the movies without my .40, a spare mag, and a flashlight

    Geez....
    keep in mind that statistically, shootings of this nature are actually down. Society and our fascination with the news spoon feeds us this information from around the world as soon as it happens so it would feel more dangerous now than it was 30 years ago.

    This is unbelievably sad. I want to understand more about the perpetrator and WTF was going on in his twisted mind. And then have him feel a painful death.

    While I agree that this particular theater is "ghetto", and personally speaking, I won't go there, it makes this no less tragic.

    That brings up the question, did the BG think a rival gang was in the theater?

    I've had 9news streaming this morning. From what their reporting it was a 24-year old acting alone. Witness accounts were of one person, dressed in tactical gear... not some gang banger dressed like 50 cent.

    Someone who got pushed over the edge and snapped at society, or someone with some serious psychological issues, either way he does not deserve to have his life for taking others.

    We live in Aurora, all safe here. Our normal hangout is the Movie Tavern, but that place is only 20 min north of us.

    Absolutely. Not trying to take away from that at all.

    Was not suggesting it was a gang banger, but rather that the theater has always had problems with people starting shit there.
