Why the long case?
Listen to the police scanner, way better.

Yeah, I realized that after I posted it
I've always been confused by that. Because sometimes you hear fatality and casualty used interchangeably

As I said, I shouldn't be speculating. They said that suspects looked Indian. I'm still baffled at why someone would go out equipped with automatics and grenades. It's messed up all around.

What the actual fuck? Get some perspective, dude. There's more important things than just a movie right now.

A worker at the mall I think. Janitor maybe? I think they are sweeping it now.
No it does not end the Internet, but if your priority is more about a movie then human tragedy then you might want to work on that. I'm just a little more sensitive I guess because I've had more then a few friends die while I was in Iraq. So don't think I'm just being a prick and I'm sorry if I come off that way.
They had a janitor lol

Dude. Don't.
someone had a janitor at gunpoint? who had him at gunpoint then?
I thought they said they found a guy who wasn't someone they were looking for, which was like... some OTHER nutjob with a gun running around in the same area, wtf?

Congratulations, you really deserve it!
Everybody's just analysing the facts as they come in, and discussing what may have happened and their motives.

a cop I believe. Might have fit the description or something
Yeah. I remember specifically learning the difference during the extensive Iraq coverage back in 2003. Nonetheless, as soon as I hear it, I automatically think "death"...and then I have to remind myself that it might be just an injury

Are you kidding me?

"Someone pulled a knife on him"?
Who are they referencing?
Who are they referencing?
so he wasn't armed or anything then, I guess.

Either that or they expected the mall to be empty and might have been startled by seeing him.
This is awful. I've never listened to police scanners before - it's interesting in a morbid manner.
I did my own little study once and graphed such incidents. There certainly seems to be clusters of these events, suggesting that people on the edge of doing this kind of thing are inspired by other incidents in the media.

Because kids wouldn't had to be part of this attack if the restrictions were stronger for such a movie.
Saying "oh he was Indian and I've heard Muslims are having a religious fasting month now, I hope they didn't take their religion to the extreme"
What kind of thought process is that oO. It's like saying the suspect is white and it's near christmas so he must be a KKK member. wat.
anyway, god I hope MSNBC is right but my hopes are small. I have friends from the area who went to watch a movie, trying to figure out what theatre they went to goddamnit.
Bad argument, it's something totally unrelated to the PG rating of the movie, and "you can't watch this movie because there might be a shooting"... eh wat?

sad that people cannot even have fun in the US anymore without assholes

That's what I thought.
I wonder how reliable the 'Indian' witness evidence, more if they already have one in custody.

Watching CNN now. The spokesperson of the University of Colorado Hospital isn't able to confirm any deaths yet, only injuries. Hipaa laws and whatnot

Missing the forest for the trees. Jesus Christ.
I don't even know what to think about this. Hopefully the news stations have been misinformed and it's a lot better than it sounds now. Why would anybody target a midnight showing of a superhero movie of all possible events? If there really were as many deaths as are initially reported then no punishment can fit the crime. :\
