Wasn't that his adultfriendfinder/match.com profile pic with the "Will you visit me in prison" caption?

Yeah, that was before he was a murderer.
I meant this photo:

the point of those alarms are to let the people know that they need to evacuate in case of fires or, in this case, rampaging shooters. Having them be silent would be kind of worthless.

It's a compromise, people seem to still want to use these doors. As far as I'm aware plenty of of places that use emergency exits do use silent alarms, so that false alarms can be weeded out before raising the alarm throughout the building. If you instead use the system to have a staff member insure the door is closed after it has been opened, then you minimise the chance of someone getting back in through the door unnoticed.

If use of the emergency door is so ingrained that people would continue to use it even if it's alarmed, then you don't want it going off all the time because the door being opened has lost it's meaning, it doesn't automatically mean that a shooter is about to run back in or that the building is on fire.

Here in the UK I've never seen anyone use the emergency exits to leave the cinema.

Looks like nothing is wrong with him. He just wanted to kill. Plain and simple.
How exactly can you tell that?
 
Man, seeing that face...I want to beat the shit out of him so badly.

Kudos to the cops who maintained control and didn't (at least not visibly) fuck him up during the arrest.

I'm amazed that people are saying they work in theaters where the exit doors are locked from the outside. Do your insurance companies know about that? That's a huge negligence lawsuit waiting to happen when people die because they're trapped in your theater.

You can get out from the inside. You just cant get in from outside.

Theres a fire outside of the theater so people need to rush in? I think you are misunderstanding.

Some people really mean well but yeah... Why would the victims or their family want to relive the shooting in the damn theater soon after they got shot....

Sounds like a terrible idea. "You got shot in our theater so come and watch a free film..."

people are trying to come up with all these ideas about how to make it up to the families, but really you can't do anything to make it up to them except provide them with a sense of justice

Wow that is ridiculous. I can't even imagine what that theater looks like right now. Bullet holes and blood everywhere... Yeah let me go take a look at the place my family member, friend, son, daughter, SO was shot to death.

I get the impression he is/will feel remorse and question himself. From all accounts, he was pretty normal and likeable to those that interacted with him. He had no 'cause' or motive, no one to be angry at. How does someone with such a bright future all of a sudden begin to dedicate himself to massacring innocent people?

That's like offering the families of the 9/11 plane crash victims a free flight 2 days after 9/11.

Thats just amazing...They should make a reality show about that guy (that dropped that comment), would be gold.

I like the part with "and do this free of charge"...

Did the same 12 year old that came up with the dumb "Put Bale in a Batman suit and get him to the hospital" idea also come up with this stupid idea?
 
I guess everyone just needs something to talk about, but why is everyone here still sitting around picking apart every little detail of his expressions, mugshots, personality, demeanor in the courtroom, etc? All of that shit is totally meaningless. None of us know anything. He's looking and actingthe way he is because that's the way he's looking and acting. There's nothing to be had from reading into it. Time to change the channel, stop hitting F5 on cnn.com, and move on to something else. We'll hear about it if there's any new developments.

This is a discussion forum. Why do people discuss anything? Because discussion is enjoyable.

everybody suggests these so that they can be celeb heroes doing interviews on tv and stuff. That one guy who made the drive for the bus lady made thousands.
 
That facebook comment was lulz worthy. Also has anyone seen the gif of Spiderman sitting in a tree and saying "At least no one was shot while watching my movie"...

Social media makes these tragedies even worse.
