Movie Theatre shooting

[Steve]

why would we fight them if we can instead get them on our side and harness their political clout to drive real change without the need for the violence and suffering?

Wishful thinking and nothing more.

Obama was suppose to be that 'change' and give back people the power - meanwhile he has robbed us of more than Bush has.

There is a reason the period after the American civil war was called the Reconstruction Era. That's when all the great reforms took place, not while people were killing each other. What impresses me is that we (humanity, I mean) have already begun exploring ways to bring about reform without violence. ?

but would these reforms have taken place w.o the Civial War having happened? I'm a believer in non-violence, but it's not black and white, sometimes violence becomes necessary.

well said sir. Syria is a good example right now, although it is disgustingly one-sided at the moment. But look at the country we're in now (Canadians). We would be Americans if it weren't for the War of 1812. Despite being ridiculously out-numbered, we were able to kick some Yankee ass and keep York (Toronto). That was such a pivotal moment in what would become the dominion of Canada 55 years later.

Wow, this man is just a disgusting human being. I hope the worst for him.

Did you see the movie recently or something? Like I saw it back when it first came out. Would of never picked up on it.

I would say 6 months to year at least

 

[iSeize]

i would say this thread is a great candidate for the Serious Fuckin Business forum

 

[Steve]

I really would like to find out if the shooter had seen the movie

Something about his portrait ... that incredibly smug grin of his

I am sure I am way out in left field and I hope I am but I would not doubt it at all if it had played a roll I always thought that when I saw this the wrong dude would see this and try it out .

Pretty sure he got the idea from watching The Dark Knight and revering a comic book character, fucking lunatic.

So something I heard on the radio is that he was able to conceal and get some many weapons/armor into the theater because of all the cosplay'ers and on top of that before he threw the gas cans and opened fire, he stood in the front of the screen for a minute and then said "I am the joker"

fuckin looney

well hopefully he isnt very smart. or else a police station is about to blow.

 

[iSeize]

there are many different testimonies. on a different account i heard he snuck in through an emergency exit and said nothing whilst walking up the steps blowing people away through cover of smoke, only putting one round into the air before the firing commenced.

well hopefully he isnt very smart. or else a police station is about to blow.

dude rigged the fuck out of his apartment very joker-esque though. yeap, fuckin looney

I am starting to doubt the 'I am the joker' thing, how would he say that with his gas mask on?

CNN says , he got a ticket to the movie went out the back door propped it open got ready came back in .

He has a active bomb in his apartment at the moment , he set up his music to play at a certain time full blast in hopes someone would either call the cops or they would break in and trigger it .

He has trip wires , CNN is saying they may have to send a robot in " there so much circuitry and collapsing circuits " " the police are facing very difficult work "

 

[Steve]

well hopefully he isnt very smart.

The things people do in the world these days are fucking sick. I don't physically understand how people can have the kind of mentality to do things like this.
What part of you would wake up thinking 'I know, today I'm going to kill some people in a Movie Theatre.'
Disgusting.

Also note perplexd has been banned from this thread.

As a side note:
I'm glad this happened, I was getting pissed off that he was just causing arguments over such petty things with stuff like this going on, which is the whole point of the thread.

I don't want to glorify this guy at all but I mean he is very smart , it is just unfortunate he had to target innocent people and not the many people corrupting the world around us .

I feel it is safe to say he wasn't political or a voter but who knows.

Actively trolling the forums and posting garbage is a better way of putting it.
