That's just tragic. My heart definitely goes out to the families that have been affected by this.

I knew someone would make a thread as soon as I found out. Im in the other side of the atlantic but as they say, bad news travel fast.

RIP to all and it's just sad. People go to the movies to enjoy themselves, to see something they love or to be inspired. Basically, cinema is life. And instead due to the stupidity of several, sometimes it's death.

it's tragic

Heard about that this morning, absolutely horrific and I can't imagine what everyone must've gone through.

You know they're going to try and blame this on the movie, instead of the psycho that can't even allow people to enjoy the movie. 14 Dead 50 Injured should have never happened.

What can you say about this? It's horrible. My heart goes out to the survivors and the families of the victims.

I really just can't believe anyone would do such a thing.

Those poor families - and there were so many kids there. :(

So close to Colombine too. It's terrible. Supposedly a bomb was in the theatre and two in the parking lot. One person thought it was part of the show....

...Ugh. I can't even think straight.

This is very tragic and as both an officer, a comic book fan, and a human being my heart goes out to the folks and familes affected by this horrible event.

Oh my god 14 dead.

All of this.

Any time a gun is used to kill someone it is a tragedy, and when a gun is used like this, it is an embarrassment to our entire human society.

12 dead ... one of them just survived the Toronto Eaton Centre shooting last month too

For real ? It's awful.Really.

While I was enjoying the movie, people were being injured or worse... What statement was this guy trying make? What was he trying to prove!?

Jesus...
 
What the hell is wrong with people.

Most likely just hatred, doesn't really matter what for or who for, hatred is always the same, it is based in ignorance and fueled by violence.

I agree.

@FadeToBlackBolt said:

That's not really accurate.

I understand that you may have a difference of opinion, but in most cases, ignorance does beget hatred.

My prayers go out to those suffering...this is just...wow...

No need, no need.

What was the motive? What made this sick animal do what he did?

I heard about this on the radio this morning. The youngest to die was a three month old infant. I was shocked beyond words. It's so sad. I had friends who went to see mid-night showings of the Dark Knight Rises last night too, and it just disturbed me to think that it could have just as easily had been them. You wonder why in the world people would do something like this. What is it in their mind that makes them think it's the right thing to do to go into a theater full of people and kill them? It's completely insane?

I feel so sorry for the families that lost loved ones to this tragedy, and I hope that the criminal that committed this atrocity gets what he deserves.

Hatred can be a beautiful thing. Hatred of injustice leads to good. Hatred of heinous acts such as these lead to people trying to make things safer.

Makes sense.

This punk should be glad the Batman is a fictional character though, because otherwise I dread to to think what would happen to this idiot if the Dark Knight were real.

Well, first of all, the movie wouldn't exist.

Why wouldn't they?

@InnerVenom123:

They could just do it without the Bruce Wayne part or come up with a new persona :p

Because that amount of people wouldn't know Bruce was Batman or his life story if he was real?

Maybe a Batman movie would exist, but it wouldn't at all be the same thing.

It'd be guesses and stuff.

Plus he would be killed the first time he tries to take on a group of armed criminals.

Going to the theater in a bit, this better not happen until the movie's over at least.
