That's just how it is. How can someone expect that there is going to be a crazy guy shoot up a movie theater? Well that's a simple answer 1) Because it's odd, and shouldn't even be allowed to bring a 3 month old to a movie theater. 2) Bring a baby to see TDKR????? No offense, but if I was at the theater and someone brought a baby to an action movie with "scary images" I would be kind of pissed 3) It was a Midnight showing.......... I mean honestly........ Who does that????? Still, so very sad and yes I understand it's a Moot point, but still one worth discussing as it is pretty uncommon for any normal parent to bring a 3month old to a midnight showing. 3 mo olds shouldn't even be allowed in the movie theaters lol. | ||

William Washington, a Denver radio host who was in the cinema at the time of the shooting, said it was only a few minutes into the movie when it all happened. He said: (MINOR MOVIE SPOILERS, like they matter at this point) [spoiler]"Anne Hathaway's character was in a meeting and all of a sudden there were lots of gun shots in the scene. But then they became very realistic, so much so my ears started to hurt."[/spoiler] William Washington continued: "Someone then shouted at us not to go into the lobby as the gunman was in there. They just shouted, 'he has a gun!' People were there with bloody faces. We were so confused as to what was happening. You could taste and feel some kind of gas in the air." | ||

I was also wondering this when they decided to rip open his window whilst on the cherry picker. Glad the police are clever enough to understand this and have dealt with this the right way and stopped more lives from being in danger (turning gas off before they event attempted to get into the apartment) /salute the emergency services tonight for their well controlled and swift work they did. | ||

It is not worth discussing in this thread. There are tons of other victims. You do not know if it isn't normal for people in that location to take their baby with them for a movie. And the answer to #3 is - people do that. | ||

Compartmentalizing? Easier to argue about why they brought a baby as opposed to the fact someone decided to murder innocent men, women and children in cold blood. Also, someone said earlier something along the lines of "stop saying hes a shooter and not a terrorist just because hes not of a certain ethnicity" that's FALSE! Terrorism is using the violence and murder to create fear in order to change things, politically fueled. As of yet, he's made no statement of any kid to his motives, as such he is a mass murderer and not a terrorist | ||

I fucking hope not Yeah they said anywhere from hours to days, and that it looked "pretty sophisticated". There's another press conference scheduled for around noon local time, and it hopefully we'll have a better picture then. | ||

You can't let that scare you, dont let it manifest. Remember whos behind the shooting and that they have no power but a gun and though harder done then said over powerd these ppl would cowar like sheep and run. | ||

It's quite understandable considering how much of these we have seen all over the world. It's like stepping onto an airplane, logically you know it's safer than driving a car but your body don't quite agree. | ||

ASking about the baby doesn't mean I don't care about the other injured people. The baby is a variable to situation which is why people are asking so much about it. People are shot and injured is concrete, and isn't weird (to this situation) But a baby being at a midnight movie, is not normal. Hence all the questions and statements. You CAN comment on parts of a story, and care about the rest but not need to ask anything. Just because I asked wtf is a baby doing their, doesn't mean I don't give a shit about the people that were hurt. | ||

I fucking hope not I've honestly felt like this was a joker style attack too. With all the bombs and the methodical killing. Then he allowed himself to get arrested in order to tell the police about the bombs. F-ing insane. | ||
