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.

You mean its "broadcasted" more in America.. I didn't see anyone going over to the Swedish massacre saying "Well... pesky Swedish allowing that to happen" or insinuating that in some way is Americas fault bad people exist. 360+million people, bad shit happens.

EDIT: Hell ... I'm usually one to condone America for its shit actions, and bash its foreign policy, but this instance you are really out of line.


Swedish massacre? What Swedish massacre?


NORWAY fuck
my bad

My apologies, usually don't make mistakes like that T.T

Not the right time and place.


For me, this is a really odd thing to say. If there is anything constructive that can come from a tragedy, then it is learning how to prevent it in the future. If gun control is one of those things that can help to prevent something like this from happening on this scale, then it needs to be discussed.

I think that gun control is one of the things that should be discussed. But I think what is also important, is determining what is wrong with this person psychologically and if there are enough systems in place to detect and take care of people who are mentally unstable.


You own TL forums? I didn't know, maybe you should ask your moderators to remove the big headline saying "don't derail into gun control debate"


Relax...I am not going to start a discussion about it or go against the mods, I can understand the mod decision to not allow such a discussion because it will just derail in anti-America talk. All I am saying is that it is good to learn from a tragedy to prevent it in the future. It is the same with aircraft crashes, oil spills, buiding collapses, fires. So why not learn what things to fix from a shooting?

Yeah, this is pretty fucked up. It really pisses me off that people go and do this kind of shit. They think they can get away with it. All they do after they kill a bunch of people is kill themselves. I really hope this guy gets whats coming to him. Don't let him kill himself in prison please.

There is an unconfirmed report of that he mentioned the Joker while talking to the police. The rumor that he dressed up as the joker is false.

Wrong, the source was the NYC Police Comissioner, and has been refuted by the Aurora Police Chief. So unless the Colorado police have worse info than the guy in NYC, he didn't.

As I have said multiple times already.

[EDIT] NBC/ABC/FOX will post anything. Stick with the local channels who are directly talking to those involved.

W00t! American gun laws yeah.

This guy was definately a upper tier organized criminal who would have had a gun anyway even if America had strong gun control right?

oh, wait, no, he was just a maniac and 20 people woulda been alive today if America had Europe's gun laws.

I don't see how the NYC police commissioner would have any knowledge in the issue. It is out of his jurisdiction. I see it as a joke in bad taste.

Sick killers will kill regardless of what tools are available to them. It's a fact so give it a rest already. There are a lot of things with the potential to harm large numbers of people. Outlawing firearm arms would be about as effective as outlawing drugs in terms of removing them from the country.

They said there was "no basis to the that statement". So I guess its not 100% that the rumor is false, but pretty close.

Could be they just wanted to stop all the speculation that would happen if that were the case, but more likely is that the NYC guy heard a sensationalist rumor and spread it since he is known to do that for attention.

He has an adult friend finder account and it predates today. Tells us he's been planning this:

Federal law enforcement reports that the suspect had dyed his hair red and claimed he was the Joker. (from 9News webcast)

He also used an alarm to trigger a noise complaint at his apartment so someone would trigger the bombs.

Alright, well I guess the dyed hair is confirmed. Odd that the Aurora chief said there was no basis behind that.

I hope he gets thrown in jail where the real criminals are and will treat him like he should be treated.

Well if what a few people have said colorado has the death penalty. So they should just waterboard the bastard then execute him as he deserves to be tortured for what he did. Just sickening. Hope the lunatic dies a slow and painful death.
