    A lot of info on this site and some photo's the media hasn't posted. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ting-James-Holmes-looked-like-said-JOKER.html

    Media reporting he had a 100 round AR drum, looks like a 30rd in the gun so my guess is he burned through the 100 rounder and reloaded. Another sick thing is it looks like he tried to lure two of his neighbors he knew from medical school into his apartment. They said at 12am just before the shooting he was blaring techno music from his apartment. They went up and knocked on the door but no one answered, they tried the door and it was unlocked but only peeked through the crack, they said they think the music was on some kind of timer. Sick bastard.

    The theory I heard on the music was that they believe he set it up so that the explosives would go off and that would tie up police, fire and ems on the other side of town so that it would take longer for them to respond to the theater.

    ...on a side note, the movie was great. I'm hating, HATING how certain media outlets are relating Bane's mask to the gas mask that fruit loop was wearing. Some have said he was reenacting movies scenes from the movie, again, horribly inaccurate... How are these media idiots allowed to publish grossly misrepresented info?

    Entrance to suspect's apartment in 3 phases

    Attempt at entering apartment may involve controlled detonations

    UPDATED 2:33 PM EDT Jul 21, 2012
    AURORA, Colorado (CNN) -
    Investigators carried out Saturday a "controlled detonation" inside the booby-trapped apartment of movie theater shooting suspect James E. Holmes, the latest move in a three-step effort to enter the apartment.
    The blast came after a policeman yelled, "Fire in the hole!" three times.
    Fire officials were on standby, but there was no immediate indication of a fire.
    Earlier, a trip wire and an incendiary device were both dealt with, Public Information Officer Sgt. Cassidee Carlson told reporters. "This trip wire was set up to clearly detonate when somebody entered the apartment, and it was set up to kill that person," she said. "That could have been a police officer executing a search warrant. This is some serious stuff our team is dealing with."
    Investigators were planning to use a robot to disarm trip wires linked to explosives, and then use that same robot to remotely remove improvised explosive devices, a law enforcement official with direct knowledge of the operation told CNN. It was also possible one of the bomb experts on site would put on protective gear and go inside the apartment, the official added.
    Carlson did not say whether that occurred.

    That's the bottom line. Every anti-gun nut is crying out for gun control but it would've been just as easy for this mental midget to quietly plant incendiaries in the dark theater and exit.

    The media glorification of this freak gives other mental cases ideas about how to get their fifteen minutes.

    Mass shooting prompts calls from Capitol Hill and beyond for tighter gun laws

    The call for federal lawmakers to tighten gun laws has intensified following the mass shooting in Colorado, with New Jersey Democratic Sen. Frank R. Lautenberg urging Congress on Saturday to swiftly address a ban on certain weapons.
    “Let's stop wasting time and start saving lives,” Lautenberg, D-N.J. said on his Twitter account. “Congress must prioritize a ban on high-capacity gun magazines.”
    At least one other lawmaker has already called on President Obama and GOP challenger Mitt Romney to address the issue.

    More signs point to James E. Holmes having been Occupy 'Black Bloc' member

    The reports that Aurora movie theater gunman James E. Holmes was a former member of the “Black Bloc” faction of the Occupy movement have caused considerable debate. Yet the most strident denials of this reportage seem to come almost entirely from the political left. More objective sources as well as blogs and web sites on the right seem to assert Holmes was a member of the group.
    The “Black Bloc” faction of Occupy has targeted law enforcement in other instances, and three members of the group are facing charges of attempting to kill cops in Chicago. It has become clear the “booby-trapping” of his apartment with trip wires and bombs was intended to kill the most likely next persons to enter that apartment, namely law enforcement. Aurora, Colorado police have state they are angry at knowing they were targeted in this way by the alleged movie theater shooter.

    We must reject the idea that every time a law’s broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.

    Cafe in Ocala, FL: 2 armed bad guys + a 71 year old CCW customer = civilian body count 0 and bad guys tripping over each other scurrying out the door.

    Theater in Aurora, CO: One armed bad guy + 0 CCW customers = this thread.

    Not saying it would have gone down any different in CO under different circumstances, but there's no question of how it actually went down. Food for thought.

    This is not the proper forum for the airing of grievances.
    George Costanza Actor Releases Lengthy Anti-Gun Statement Following ‘Dark Knight’ Shootings

    Actor Jason Alexander has had several political and media flare-ups in recent years reminiscent of Alexander’s signature role as George Costanza on Seinfeld. Alexander tweeted jabs at Mitt Romney during the Republican presidential debate last February, and quickly apologized to The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation after calling cricket a “gay sport” on “The Late Late Show” with Craig Ferguson in June. On Sunday Alexander tweeted a link to a lengthy statement on the “Dark Knight” shooting and reactions to an earlier comment Alexander made that “he cannot understand support for legality of the kind of weapon in this massacare.”
    “I‘d like to preface this long tweet by saying that my passion comes from my deepest sympathy and shared sorrow with yesterday’s victims and with the utmost respect for the people and the police/fire/medical/political forces of Aurora and all who seek to comfort and aid these victims,” Alexander begins.
    “Clearly, the angry, threatened and threatening, hostile comments are coming from gun owners and gun advocates,” Alexander writes. “Despite these massacres recurring and despite the 100,000 Americans that die every year due to domestic gun violence – these people see no value to even considering some kind of control as to what kinds of weapons are put in civilian hands.”
    Alexander later tweeted a correction that he intended to write “100,000 incidents” of death or injury with guns per annum, not ”100,000 guns deaths.”
    Alexander goes on to analyze the text of the Second Amendment, what Alexander Hamilton had to say about a militia, and the Merriam-Webster definition of the word.

    Which weapon, the AR-15 variant used by millions of police officers and millions of military members worldwide, or the Glock pistol used by millions of police officers and thousands of military members worldwide?

    James Fox finally makes some good points regarding the Media glorification of these psycho's - here's the last two paragraphs - which actually say/mean something :

    http://boston.com/community/blogs/crime_punishment/2012/07/accused_mass_killer_over-expos.html

    How often must we see the alleged murderer's name in print and his face shown in photographs from happier times? It is an appropriately sympathetic gesture that stories and photos of victims are being featured as well; but will their identities be eclipsed as time and the prosecution moves forward?
    It is perfectly reasonable to shed light on the tragic event without a media spotlight on the alleged assailant. It is shameless, if not dangerous, to transform an obscure nobody into an infamous somebody who may be revered and admired by a few folks on the fringe. At a minimum, we should resist the temptation to repeat his name, for his identity should be as unspeakable as the crime with which he is charged.

    I half love/ half hate debating retards on fb regarding guns. I've resorted to comparing guns to cars, high-cap magazines to high horsepower engines. I think I'll start posting the daily death tolls from "yet another senseless, car-related murder"

    I have added lobbing gas canisters to my immediate "hey, check out the business end of my firearm" list...which was previously only occupied by someone yelling a certain phrase in Arabic; not including of course 'conventional' deadly force situations.
