Yes, it was beyond tragic, but let's not cheapen it by running around calling everyone who hadn't gotten word of it insensitive and uncaring. I wonder how many people said they were "dead tired" on facebook or twitter today? Unreal how people will go out of their way to hate on gun owners sometimes.

Here we go just sit back and enjoy the media ride make sure to get your Popcorn and drinks now guys. Sad everyone point blame on certain groups just because of one individual.

It only gives the next loser a reason to plan the next big shooting. I swear I hate the big media giants.

I already predicted some one will blame techno music and Guitar Hero.

edit: Just a thought. I bet no one blames Batman movies...

Just another chance to tilt the view that gun owners are bad.
So the tweeter media guy slept in today and didn't hear about this incedent.
I don't think CNN would report all the conservation and other works of goodwill the gun owners perform.

My thoughts exactly. It's a cowardly, despicable act by a deranged individual.

Predictably, the news media will ride this horse into the ground, inspiring some other meathead to try something similar. It will also put more pressure on lawmakers to increase gun control laws which will only serve to punish the law abiding citizens and not idiots such as this bent on mayhem.

By the way, no more wearing costumes at AMC theaters. That'll show 'em

If I showed up in my birthday suit....they'd see I was carrying a "fun"

Did anybody (the media) even consider that they could have something automated to send out those tweets, thereby having it all set into place before the shooting even happened?

Does that include the movie theater employees? Gen3 would have to show them off then!

Shit, what am I going to do with my Diego costume I was going to wear to Ice Age?

Hey lets stop higher education because this guy was smart. This will all get twisted into someones political agenda while this guy is paraded across the TV like the bastard in Europe who killed all those kids. Let's stop trying to put reason to the madness of a guy who deserves to be burned at the stake!

I think anyone who assumed that they were saying good morning to murderers needs to be bitch slapped back into reality.

Found this blurb on Google+ by a gal from Texas.

But wait, did she just equate patriotism with a batch of undesirable traits?
Yes she did. Intentional or accidental? Means something either way.
I did notice that no one was commenting at all. Probably caught that weird part.
I kinda wanted to tell her that 6000 rounds is just two day's practice to stay proficient.
Not to mention that "the ammo didn't do it".

Just a guess, but what I think people really fear, is that they themselves as an ordinary person, could be an ordinary person that suddenly turns into a mass murderer. They fear themselves.

SIX THOUSAND rounds of AMMUNITION...purchased through the INTERNET. That's a 6 followed by three staggeringly large zeros!

Human behavior is subject to the same laws as any other natural phenomenon. Our customs, behaviors, and values are byproducts of our culture. No one is born with greed, prejudice, bigotry, patriotism and hatred; these are all learned behavior patterns. If the environment is unaltered, similar behavior will happen again. And again we will all be shocked and do nothing about it. Meanwhile, I now have one more reason to avoid movie theaters.

OK, there are some comments showing up now. The first one was from a German, which literal translation is "The spin of Americans!". Most comments are negative.

edit: I'm also reading from some one (Licensed Clinical Psychologist) that perhaps the root of the shooter's problem, was simply that he was unable to find a job. Dropped out of Doctorate and was working at a McDonalds. A victim of our economy.

I don't even care that I'm not blacking out this chicks name. I saw this on Facebook yesterday. As soon as I saw it I promptly and politely informed her she was most informed and a retard. she did take it down right after I commented.

So we should blame Ronald Mcdonald?

Let's put it this way, Ronnie is no longer allowed in movie theaters with mask or face paint...
