I should have checked the local sources first. Seen if it was a real issue with people in Aurora. Apparently it’s not.

I should have ignored this one. Sorry.

Some people who don’t own guns have weird notions of safety, I think.

Anything that’ll raise eyebrows.

Skimming through the comments on the article, it doesn’t look like there is any outrage. The article itself only cited two people, none of which were quoted as saying that the apartment shouldn’t be rented out. One person only said that Holmes was “a worthless killer” and the other person said the place should be bulldozed, but it didn’t sound like he was being serious about it. In other words, I suspect that the author of this article is making it up. I don’t believe that the relatives of the victims are asking that the apartment not be put up for rent.
