So some fool walks into a midnight Batman showing and opens fire

As crazy as it gets sometimes, I'll take this country over being in the Middle-East. Something this crazy happens relatively few times when you compare. This wont scare me from going to movies or nothing where it's chill 90% of the time, but I'd be shook everyday where kids are walking the streets with AK's and bombs just going off any given day

I'm Suprised this hasn't happened before

It has def crossed my mind when I'm at the theatre how Easy of a terrorist target movie complex's could be

Literally anyone can walk up in them bytches strapped with guns or bombs and set it off

There def needs to be metal detectors and more armed security at all theatres

But an event like this will def inspire copycats

The Shooter obviously wanted to show the Audience who the real 'Dark Knight' really was

major sporting event is really the last frontier. kids dont feel safe in school, can't feel safe in malls, movie theaters, etc. this is fukkin ridiculous. I guess it we have to live in a world with a metal detector at every door, so be it.

Once a major sporting event is attacked i think thats gonna be the final straw. Forget about going anywhere, or doing anything without being watched in ways that weve only seen in movies. Its not getting any better, cant get too laid back, shyt will pop off eventually.

Agreed for various reasons. None of which being "You never know when a masked gunman is gonna shoot up the theatre"

Of course not, but what really doesn't belong in a movie theater is a maniac with a shotgun, rifle, gasmask, teargas, bullet proof vests and a handgun.

Try and keep the focus in the right direction, I know we all thought the same about the baby, but c`mon man, no one expects this shyt to happen at a movie theater.

Agree 100%... Just pointing out that doesn't belong at the movies

Ironically enough a major sporting event is attacked in this movie.


I'm at work so I can't watch tv right now, but are the talking heads blaming the movie yet?

This is just tragic and so unnecessary, one deranged, pitiful loser has forever ruined lives. Die slow.

No i live in the area, local news is focusing on the victims and witnesses. Im sure the movie or just movies in general with mass killings will get criticized. I couldnt sleep last night, got online and seen someone in the reaction thread post someone started shooting in the theatre and sure enuf its in my damn city. Cant believe it.

I know a kid in Denver, big movie fan, hasn't answered my texts. I dont know him well, but im hopin he's alright.

Update - he's safe. aight

What does dressing up have to do with someone kicking in the back door?

Trying to figure this out as well

Terms like "abused" "quiet" "reserved" "intelligent" are about come out about the shooter..

Dont ask me how....

'Dark Knight' shooting leaves theaters scrambling to address security concerns - latimes.com

Many fans of "The Dark Knight Rises" at Citywalk early Friday were unaware of the events in Colorado. But Xochitl Serna, 36, and her 14-year-old son learned about the shooting on the news before heading to a 3:35 a.m. screening. They said the incident did not make them reconsider their movie plans.

"Right before we left I heard and I was like, 'What the ... ?' It's pretty scary," said Serna, who was wearing a T-shirt with the film's logo on it. "But I work at Universal so I knew there would be lots of security, so we decided, 'Nah, it's OK, we'll be alright.' "

The few other moviegoers who knew of the Colorado tragedy felt the same kind of event would not take place in Los Angeles.

"It's different in Colorado - that's middle America. I don't think that would happen here," said Fernando Lopez, 25, who heard about the shooting 20 minutes before the 6:40 a.m. screening.

"Everybody shoots each other in Colorado," added Abigail Keever, 25, who was about to head into the same screening.

Just... wow.
