I don't think this timeline thing is correct. That quote came from the police radio, and black can be used as code for deceased in that context. The shooter was unaffected by the gas due to their gas mask. | ||

There's obviously a lot of speculation going on, but I highly doubt there was any connection between his motive and the movie. Most likely he was just batshit insane and knew this would make a huge scene and there'd be a lot of people. | ||

It appears that the only thing this guy had on his record was a traffic ticket so he wouldn't have a hard time obtaining one. | ||

About kicking the door in.. I'm not sure if Im being retarded right now but aren't emergency exit doors always opened out? I guess "Kicked the door in" can be a term for just breaking it open though.. | ||

So yeah, it's allowed. It's a semi-automatic rifle, but considering how many people he wounded and killed, it seems like a job done by a full automatic weapon... | ||

Most likely he was just batshit insane and knew this would make a huge scene and there'd be a lot of people. While I think it's most likely this is a lone lunatic, there's a small chance that the guy was a nominally-right-wing batshit-insane nut who took Rush Limbaugh's recent diatribe about Batman being liberal anti-Romney propaganda seriously - with the polarised and hysterical climate in American politics these days, I'd consider it plausible that a spree-killer would latch on to some piece of political bile or other when justifying something like this. What's odd about this particular spree-killer is that he's still alive; apolitical mass murders usually (but not always) do this sort of thing as part of an elaborate suicide. This guy doesn't even seem to have attempted to either kill himself or go the suicide-by-cop route... | ||

Im not sure its that easy to conceal your gas mask and rifle. He cant have been sitting there the whole time. Unless you mean his supposed accomplice, then yeh, but people must surely have wondered why he left through the fire escape and not the door. | ||
