yeah, it seems like he wants an audience or something. or hes just batshit insane. or both.
me neither. but if hes alive then he can receive as much punishment as the law allows, without taking the easy way out. its weird to say im "glad" because this is such a fucked up situation where there is nothing to be glad about

This is horrible. Is there any motives for the murderers actions?
If there is ever a good time for the death penalty, this is one of those times. This guy who did it is as evil as they come.
Thanks.

If you know you're going to get mad at the jokes, don't click on it.

Not really a bad person, but sometimes it's hard to remember the weight of a situation when it's happening in third person and far away in a land that it seems to be common in.

Another victim has died at the hospital. 15 now confirmed dead.
NEVERMIND: It was a prank call that got through. Death toll still just at 14.

I don't think anybody would be able to keep their mental health up if we showed as much interest in foreign tragedies as we do ones closer to us.

Imagine being all excited to finally see the new Batman film, sitting down and getting engrossed in it, and then as guns fire on screen, guns fire all around you...and all of a sudden, a scene of death--people all around you screaming, running, and dying. It's hard for me to wrap my mind around. So fucked up.

Nah I do it all the time. Interest is one thing, but blatant negativity is another. When I see or hear about incidents that happen across the pond I'm sympathetic/empathetic like most normal human beings are, but when I see how some other nationalities react when things like this happen in the states it makes my stomach turn. (youtube comments on the video link here are a prime example) I think most of the world would truly be happy if the USA imploded in on itself. Most of the world truly hates us.

Reading some of the witnesses accounts makes my stomach curl. I can only imagine the horrors they went through. Truly harrorwing to read.

Wait, what?
My response to that is this:
Making sick jokes in this thread is going to get you banned, and banned hard.

Yeah, wait, what was that last sentence he said? I couldn't hear. I did hear America's got talent... wtf...?
Thanks. Not trying to play the victim card here, but shortly before all the details started flowing in I was talking with a friend about how this thread would probably be something everyone would forget about by tomorrow. Eating those words now.

Why do people do this?
I know it's for a 'laugh' or to wind people up, but at what point does an individual think death is funny? Scary behaviour.
Thanks mr mod man
urgh! bet it was super terrible too.
"nuh, uh, Howard Stern's penis babalooey 819 topless hauhahaha"
fuck.
We really don't. And really, there's folk in the US that respond the exact same way to shootings on EU soil. Fuck those people really, incensitive assholes that have no empathy at all that now have an outlet for their nonsensical bullshit on the internet.
Really, just ignore them and rest easy knowing that most people are just regular joe's like you and me.

Someone called pretending to be the chief. said a 15th person died and that 15th person was angry because of something with America's Got Talent and Howard Stern.
fucking tasteless.
Yeah exactly; I'm not saying to be paranoid.
Just saying to never say "This can't happen here..."; People are crazy.

Police scanner is going nuts telling the theatre people to shut off the sprinkers inside the theatre.

I think the "joke" and all post quoting it were nuked to keep things on track.

Internet, it's Warhol 15 minutes on steroids.
You answered your own question. You guys are too easy to fall hook, line, and sinker into troll baits. Just stop giving them attention.

I do wonder if people who do shit like call in and make howard stern jokes think back on things and ask themselves what the fuck they were thinking...

Sure, but even then I'd expect some sort of morals or logic to kick in.
These people are emotionally devoid, it's scary.
