EPTNo joke. So are movies going to face the wrath of the media now? Or will this be blamed on videogames again, perhaps the guy owned a copy of Call of Duty or GTA at home?
Terrible situation

This is a tragic event. Let's not derail the thread with a gun control debate. Posts from page 9 onward will be moderated for steering the discussion towards gun control. | ||

Feel sorry about the victms and I wish them well, but my day's ruined by something else already >< On topic: How can you get into a cinema theater without some employees having a look at you; I used to remember there were employees checking you out so you don't have hidden sodas/snacks bought for 10 times cheaper than what they were selling. And they also get the tickets from you. Hiding a gun under your T-shirt ( it's summer ) seems strange. They must've found another way in or something. Different people have different levels of empathy and reactions - it's not "first world problems" and it's rude to call it that. Just because YOU don't feel that way, you shouldn't insult another person's feelings. The cinema may be a more lax cinema, being not in a large city/town. Some of the more suburban theaters in NYC are very lax on security, and I would imagine that their staff were taxed by the amount of people seeing the grand opening. | ||

Aurora is hardly "not a large city/town." It's a fairly large suburb of Denver. And AFAIK, this theater had a history of security issues, which is no surprise in Aurora. I remember that the one time I had been there, several years ago, I saw at least one police officer. But if he found a way to get in through the emergency exit (theoretically impossible, but easier to do than it should be), their security measures don't mean a damn thing. | ||

I guess it puts a face on the inhumanity of the event.. It just seems.. invasive. I mean, it's not a diary, it's a twitter account. She has 3.5k followers, and the person in that convo with her posted about her this morning and was re-tweeted hundreds of times. She puts a human face on the situation when right now all we have are vague, frustrating details. | ||

I'm already fearing the government overreaction to this. What is it gonna be, new law, no costumes allowed in theaters? | ||

I wonder what type of theatre security measures will be taken as a result of this. Will there be a compariable TSA for movies now? | ||

Entering throuhg an emergency exit can be quite easy actually... [Architect here].... most only have a simple panic bar or delayed actuator.... Often times there is a small allen key device that goes into the frame and unlocks the door, allowing someone to enter directly from the outside. | ||

Don't even dignify that. "9gag did it", is just a running joke on 4chan, so I suppose they take this opportunity to have a good laugh as always. | ||

This just seems like the type of thing where the guy would off himself after, or would be shot by police. I wonder what type of theatre security measures will be taken as a result of this. Will there be a compariable TSA for movies now? It's worth mentioning one of the first people interviewed by ch9 early this morning was a guy who said that when he went to MiB3 at that same theater previeously, they had at least 3 security guards working. No mention I can find anywhere yet if any were working during the attack, but I'd imagine it's probable. | ||

You missed the joke. It's a common joke to blame everything on 9gag because everyone thinks 9gag is a terrible website. That's beside the point of this thread though. Reading Jessica's twitter and blog is so haunting. The blog post just seems like foreshadowing out of a fictional story. Seems so unreal... | ||
