i'm sickened by the fact that within 2 minutes of me turning the news on, an anchor brings up gun control. They don't even mention the victims are what's going on with that. Disgusting.

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. | ||

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. Is this necessary? I don't think promoting torture is very constructive.. | ||

Odd that the Aurora chief said there was no basis behind that. yeah, CNN confirming the hair/joker reports: (CNN) -- The suspect in the mass shooting at an Aurora, Colorado, movie theater screening of the new Batman film early Friday had colored his hair red and told police he was "the Joker," according to a federal law enforcement source with detailed knowledge of the investigation.

It's such a damn shame. The girl avoids one shooter by a miracle, but then a different fucking coward gets her in the end. Kinda like how in the Virginia Tech massacre, the professor who sacrificed himself was able to survive the Holocaust.. only for a coward with a gun to get him in the end. Just a shame. The outcome is never going to be close to good when a smart guy with a very warped mind is able to acquire the equipment that he did. | ||

The worst thing that could come out of this is more hate, more discrimination... On July 20 2012 18:40 r.Evo wrote: I'm genuinely confused why people seem surprised that this happened. The question isn't if, the questions are when, where and how. Big enough population + problems on many scales + access to materials = someone will snap and use all means possible to do something horrible. Edit: The post above shows probably the only possible real solution to this. Tighter security and hitting someone back aren't working. Agreed. I post this a lot but the main solution is rehabilitation. Prisons are used to keep criminals off streets but (unfortunately) it does not help with their behavior at all (especially if they're released. In California, 75% of all released prisoners return to crime after being released which is unfortunately high). Now, we don't know the full story but what punishment should be given (if it should), shouldn't make things worse. Jails should be used to keep them off the streets "until" they can be helped to be put back on the streets without being a danger to anyone (if possible and can be confirmed that is).

I understand your pain but i do not understand why this is your worst fear .. Agreed. There is argument for trauma but that can apply to adults as well as kids. | ||

: https://twitter.com/dingos8myTARDIS But while I was reading through some of the stuff she's replied to, I found this: harrison wright @SgtSater @dingos8myTARDIS I heard the ending really blew the audience away Turns out he has a TL account. I wish things done elsewhere were bannable on here. I don't understand how anyone can add like that after a tragedy like this... some things I'll just never understand. | ||
