Shooting at Denver theater during new Batman movie.

[Guest bkelm18]

Wonder if that was military issue smoke or gas he had, I personally don't know anywhere to buy that. I hope he's not an ex-vet that snapped. Murdering innocent people who did you no wrong is evil enough but killing a baby has that bit of extra evil to it.

There's no doubt the anti's will exploit this to their political advantage, they don't care about the victims and their families, just their political agenda, they have no shame.

Smoke grenades can be bought many places. They are popular in paintball.

[Clod Stomper]

Sounds like it was tear gas. And he was wearing a gas mask. That's according to a witness the local station just interviewed.

[chances R]

The best helicopter view the news gave looks more like W.Virginia plates than TN plates......but doesn't really matter.

Well i've never bought any but if it was gas, that would be difficult to come by. Anyway, this early in the story there's really no way to know who he is and why he did it.

[jcoosi]

In the words of the elitest "Never let a good crisis go to waste."

I pray for the families but this is the exact stuff that the elitest will use to FORWARD thier agenda.They dont care nothing about the victims just the FORWARD movement of their agenda.It takes a coward to shoot defenseless kids.They should draw and quarter him on the town square for all to see and made an example of.

This is the kinda thing we dont need right now ....Another bad guy who flipped his lid makes

all the gun community look bad - 14 dead is huge ...RIP to those who died

waiting on more info

This does nothing to make law-abiding citizens look bad. Criminals and psychos have never been a part of our community and never will be.

I agree with PapaB - stay vigilant; it's getting worse.

Agreed....but the media won't portray it that way.

One of the hospitals said the people they treated had burning on thier skin and in their eyes. so it wasnt just a smoke bomb.

I just saw this information on the news as well. They were interviewing an emergency doctor at the hospital.

Will he get the death penality? does Colorado do the chair or lethal injection?

[Jesse]

Im hearing he is a memeber of occupy black bloc.

quoted from a source.

"James Holmes, DOB 12/13/1987, the car he was driving had Tenn license plates. The Batman movie portrays the OWS crowd in a negative vein,the new Batman movie featured the villain as an Occupy Wall Street type. I would first look at the possibility that James Holmes, DOB 12/13/1987, was caught up in the OWS movement took it upon himself to strike back against “THE MAN."

Lethal injection.

I realize that, but the media doesn't deal in reality.

What source?

[Guest bkelm18]

Oh well if he's just an OWS nut, then he was just a misguided youth fighting for the rights of the common man.

[Jesse]

sad news, the father of the 6 year old that was shot said he has died.

[Volphin]

I saw this story on the morning news. They focused on the back of his car at daybreak and it looked like a Colorado tag to me. Today show had a mention of TN tag. I call BS.

Regardless, this twisted and mentally deranged person (a kid really) needs to get the needle. I pray for all the wounded, killed and their families.

I'm not sure if the theater was posted but I know for a fact the theater did have a policy that mandated no firearms allowed. The company is "Century Cinemas"

[atlas3025]

ABC has implicated the Tea Party.

Man, talk about dodging a Bullet. My 21 year old daughter is up there right now doing her Internship at Colorado School Of Mines prepping for her Phd. work. She went to a midnight Batman showing last night, near Golden, 30 minutes away. They decided to skip the ride to the larger theater and went to the smaller one instead.

The Commie in Chief is gonna address the nation at 11:20 Eastern. Let's see if he blames the hardware.

[Guest rebeldrummer]

this is taken from the last paragraph from a CNN article....REALLY?? did they have to throw this in there??

..."

Aurora, a Denver suburb, is about 13 miles from Littleton, Colorado -- site of the April 1999 Columbine High School massacre.

In that incident, two teenage students, Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris, armed themselves with guns and bombs and opened fire inside the high school. They killed 13 people and wounded 23 others before killing themselves"...
