episode Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 The dudes apartment is "booby trapped"! Edit: According to TMZ: 7:45AM PT -- Police say Holmes' studio apartment is "booby-trapped" in a sophisticated manner -- and they are trying to figure out how to disarm an explosive device attached to the front door. __________________ I hate how people in other places have to try to seem like they are doing something. NYC Mayor Bloomberg is going to station cops at NYC theaters. Yeah, thats not a waste of resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BajiRav Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 This is sad. :( Food for thought: Whenever such tragedy happens, how come it always involves male of the species? (I honestly don't recall any mass shooting done by a woman). Sidenote: 9 year old in for TDKR, really? Some left wing nut jobs are trying blame Rush Limbaugh for this..Have they no shame? Have they no respect? People died and they want to make it a political debate.. As soon as the right wing nut jobs find some fodder, they will be in too.

+Warwagon MVC Posted July 20, 2012 MVC Share Posted July 20, 2012 I think the shootings were collateral damage. I think the MPAA knew someone was recording the movie with a video camera and sent someone to stop them.

The only person who was responsible was the nutjob that caused it, and unfortunately there are nutjobs of every persuasion, in every society, every vault urge,many there always have been.

Vice Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Yeah, more laws will stop this because we all know that criminals will follow the gun laws and won't acquire guns illegally. I mean, they're just criminals. Criminals don't break laws, right? Sarcasm aside, the day it becomes illegal in the US for me to own and carry my .40cal handgun is the day I leave. And go where ? Canada, United Kingdom, Australia? most civilized countries have already banned guns. If you combine the populations of the UK, France, Germany, Japan, Switzerland, Sweden, Denmark and Australia you'll get a population roughly the size of the United States. But the USA had 32,000 deaths caused by guns last year. And all those other countries combined? 112. Do you think it's because Americans are more homicidal by nature? Or do you think it's because all those other countries have gun control laws? Criminals exist everywhere, the difference is there's no added penalty in the USA for carrying a gun before the perpetration of a crime. So criminals carry them just in case. In these other countries criminals don't carry these weapons so often because they know if they get caught with them they will get heavy sentences in prison just for having it. It's not worth the added risk to carry a concealed weapon in a country where they are illegal, especially if you know the citizens you're going to rob aren't going to be carrying guns either.

sava700 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Yeah ok, Rambo. If you were in that situation, you'd **** your pants like everyone else. I didn't say nothing about being "Rambo" and yes I'd prob be scared but at least I"d have a chance to defend myself - get over yourself! Also reading into the situation why in the hell did someone take a 3month old kid to a midnight showing of a movie such as this??! How is that respectful to the others that went to see that movie in peace instead of hearing a baby cry?? I feel really bad that the kid got hurt but should have never been there in the first place.

sava700 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Until he started shooting, people thought it was a stunt/prank. Would you have thought differently? It could have been a stunt/prank. So what's to say that your little gun would have been any help at all? in the panic of the crowd shuffling to get out, you could have even hurt someone else who otherwise wouldn't have been injured. If it was a prank, you would have just murdered someone! I've been trained properly with it and have a valid permit... I wouldn't be as stupid to pull it out against someone that clearly didn't have one coming at me...get over yourself and think for a moment..geez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I honestly don't recall any mass shooting done by a woman). Can't recall any. But look at this article: http://www.inquisitr.com/280967/jessica-redfield-woman-killed-in-colorado-mass-shooting-had-blogged-about-surviving-toronto-mall-shooting-last-month/ Crazy. CNN just did a report on her. Sidenote: 9 year old in for TDKR, really? There were a lot of kids younger than that, according to reports, including a 3 month old baby.

(I honestly don't recall any mass shooting done by a woman). Schizophrenia tends to be worse for men, plus there's a greater likelihood due to our culture that a man would have access to a gun.

Older kids is another story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mudslag Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 That would really suck if they delayed it but for them it's about the end dollar over anything else. Im sure they are worried about the ticket sales now over this. I could see ticket sales fall below expected projections for the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
