I think it's the way these things are covered.

You have to admit that these crazy dudes get their name in the media for extended periods of time now.

I'd define plenty as a lot .. Hell, one or more is plenty .. but the world hasn't changed as drastically as we think it has .. we just find out about it and hash it out a lot quicker in the 21st century. If this was 1975, you would get a 1 minute report on it on the 10PM news and then not know about it until you read the paper tomorrow morning ..

Can you all stop the political BS and focus on this actual event? Some people are trying to find news -- not read political arguments. Make another thread for that BS.

I agree with this. It is at least a factor.

It is a multifactorial issue though.

This is surreal. My girlfriend and I talked about possibly going out there tonight to see Trainwreck, and 'we" just decided to stay in and play FIFA. FIFA saved us today.

My thoughts go out to anyone involved or who witnessed that. I can't imagine.

So it sounds like he shot a chick in the leg outside, ran into the theater inside and shot 6 people, then held everyone in the theater for a bit then shot himself when swat came

It's an r rated movie with a lot of gratuitous scenes so unless so taking kids seems possible but not probable.

not too far-fetched if the "kids" are in the late teen range

if the shooter's in his 40s... it is possible

I admit that guys like the Aurora guy wanted to do it for the recognition.

But this guy seems like he wanted to kill his wife and saw this as his opportunity to get her while she wasn't at a friends house or parents house or wherever somebody could protect her.

Guns have been around in the USA for our whole history. Why just in the past 6 have the numbers risen? It's obviously not just related to guns and is something else.

Why not focus on the issue instead of attack guns?



This is no place to bring logical discussion.

For fricks sake. Quit y'all bitching!

You want news? Guess what. Most of the "news" in this thread is from FB.

I love the arbitrary rules of posting some people try to impose.
