12 people shot dead at BATMAN movie screening in Denver.

Let’s everyone remember that we can keep cool heads and discuss this, even in the face of such an emotional and horrific tragedy. Also, I think sick jokes should be held for a little while, please.

He’s a white guy, right? Please tell me he’s a white guy. The shooter, I mean.

This is dreadfully sad. This victim was an aspiring journalist, and her last blog post concerned her being at the recent shooting in Toronto:

That’s some Final Destination shite.

Here’s her twitter feed:

Lord. I haven’t seen a movie in a theater in probably 2 years and I’ve already been called three times by friends and family to see if I was there. Any other Dopers in the Denver-metro area call your loved ones to let them know you’re okay.

I was awakened by my mother-in-law in tears convinced that we were dead, since she hadn’t heard otherwise.

Ellen Cherry, I have posted a threadin ATMB about your mod note.

He’s a beastly rotter?

Let’s not be so quick to judge Mr Holmes. He was facing a crowd of hoodie wearing teenagers. Many of them were drinking iced tea and eating Skittles.

Teeny Tiny bright spot in this huge issue is that Obama and Romney have BOTH agreed to halt all political ads in the whole state as this issue unfolds.

Mighty nice of them.
:rolleyes:

OK, now that made me laugh.

His mother wasn’t shocked at the news.

So do I, and if they’re blocked-off (restaurants are really bad about this) I take a picture and e-mail it to fire marshall.

His apartment is booby-trapped.

WASHINGTON – Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) said Friday that the shootings that took place in an Aurora, Colo. movie theater hours earlier were a result of “ongoing attacks on Judeo-Christian beliefs” and questioned why nobody else in the theater had a gun to take down the shooter.

UPDATE: There is no prohibition on making jokes about this situation in this thread. Previous admonition rescinded. — Ellen

What a dipstick. I’m surprised it wasn’t God’s punishment for gay tolerance.

Because if we were all gun carrying christians, nothing like this would ever happen.
The solution is that simple.

Ohhh, I get it. If we had been praying more, then His Protective Hand would have been there. That’ll teach us.

We’re sorry, God.

Dick.

Someone on Reddit got grazed and he is posting about it.

Another sick fuck makes the news and gets his moment of fame. Twelve lives are over and countless lives are damaged, and the media swarms like flies to a dead dog’s carcass, while we all glue ourselves to the TV and hope that there is actual YouTube footage of people being killed. Our society continues to spiral downward. It’s fucking depressing.

He’s posting pics, too.
