Dark Night

 The important element:
She immediately expressed concern that her son may have been involved.

"You have the right person," she said
What the blood-dancers and opportunists will focus on:
The gunman never had to reload. Shots just kept going, kept going, kept going," one witness told ABC News.

Another BATFE operative, I'll bet. Just gotta get that ATT passed!

Ain't now way he never had to reload.

Danse Macabre redux # ... I've lost count.

Question: is Aurora part of Denver? While Colorado has CCW, does Denver allow it, or does Denver have that horseshit "Home Rule" thing in place?

No one there could return fire?

I've always thought movie theaters were mass shootings waiting to happen (dark, bottlenecked entry/exits, loud explosions happening in movies so people don't know what's going on, etc). Most movie theaters (at least in Ohio) are posted CPZ's, which assures a defenseless audience.

Tragic incident. The fact that the mother knew immediately it was her son is extremely disturbing.

Just like Suzanna Hupp said when she testified before Congress... it only takes a split second to change a magazine. Not enough time to rush a shooter.

Yep, David, we see. The Chief Danser Macabre, Bloomin'idjit his own self, is leading the Danse.

Bloomberg, Peterson and all the other gun hating Bradyites couldn't even wait for the blood to dry before starting their dance. What a bunch of scumbags.

What, the magic "no guns allowed" sign by the door didn't protect anyone? Impossible!

Crotalus- Denver is extremely anti-gun. Anyway, the Monsters are deliriously happy today.

I have a couple of comments about this incident.
The first one is related to my experience in the construction business and my time as a young punk trying to sneak into the movies for free - Aren't these emergency doors supposed to be locked so that they can only be opened from the inside? If so, who let him in?
The second comment is - I'm glad this didn't happen where I go to watch movies because I would have had to do something to stop the shooter and quite possibly ended up dead myself. The difference between me and (apparently) everyone in that theater is that I carry a tactical flashlight and a pistol (and while I'm definitely not the best shooter in the world, I'm not too terrible either)
I've also had some experience dealing with pepper spray/CS gas. Was it military or police grade gas? There is a huge difference. Also, where it came from can possibly be tracked by the numbers stamped on the canister (I don't know of any civilian pepper spray grenades available (though I could be wrong, I have never looked for them), but I know that the military canisters at least have a lot number on them and I'm pretty sure the police ones do too.

This was a terrible thing that happened, but there are a lot of questions in my mind about some of the details that I haven't seen answered anywhere yet.

It's apparent that the government MUST CONTROL all PhD candidates.

If it saves just one life...
