Fuckkkk. :( from another forum so it's not confirmed but:

" I turned on the news here and some guy is talking about what he saw and first thing I heard him say was he saw a little girl with many gunshots in her back how was dead. He explained what happened in theater 9 also, a guy with a vest on and all black with a mask on walked in threw a bomb of some sort then started slowly walking up the stairs and firing at random"

"My son also said there were several shooters and they shot up several theaters in the complex. It started with throwing what looked like a smoking canister from the front of the theater and then lots of shooting into the audience. It was like a Columbine style shooting."


Also just heard some pregnant woman was shot in the face. At least that's what it sounded like on the scanner.

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world he’d rather have. The problem is, Dwyane’s not a woman.

who gives a shit. I was spoiled on here on GAF in the "safe" dark knight thread and it's just a movie.

Wow can't even believe your reply :|

Jesus Christ, if there were kids/families who just wanted to go watch a midnight screen among the victims, I'll be even more furious than I already am. So many innocent people, fuck that shit sooo hard. I'm with whoever said they hoped there was no suicide. This guy needs to sit in jail for the rest of his life and think about what he did. (or they, if multiple shooters are confirmed)

Early reports say there's some kids.

Not that the victims' ages should really make a difference...

Stop shitting on my team. Start shitting on my finger.
A baby was shot.

These bastards need to fry.

Please tell me this isn't true. Please.

Also, I'm strictly against the death penalty, suffering in jail for the rest of their lives is way better. Let them suffer, not let them "go" by killing them.

It really shouldn't, but it still kind of does, because they still have their whole life in front of them.

Ugh the youtube video just reminded me a lot of the people there are gonna be young teenagers since they don't have work or school tomorrow.

I can't imagine the parents who let their kids go out to see a movie and then hear this news.

I think I just heard on the radio that there is a couple missing their 9 yr daughter. Wtf.

where did you hear this? or do you have a link?

edit. Oh I see, people are trying to personalise this tragedy and make me out to be a bad guy. Well I was just trying to give a fair warning to Batman fans that there are spoilers out there related to this news story so yeah. Keep fighting to good fight GAF.

Your edit makes you seem more insane than before. These are real people whose lives on earth are now over.

That is absolutely horrifying.

No, your being a heartless prick. If I could spoil the whole movie for you right now I would. No one gives a FUCK about spoilers right now.

Wanna hear a good joke? Waste your time helping me! LOL!
Absolutely the motivations matter, if there are any. Are you implying we can't learn anything from incidents like these? Any little bits of anything for the sake of prevention.
What could you learn from this? If someone wants to do something like this in a public space, they could probably do it somewhat easily.

Not implying anything, just responding to that specific poster being aghast at the idea of a mass shooting happening. They're far too common...

The political climate is very uneasy in this country and there are extremists from many different backgrounds ready to pounce. I live in NC and we are taking many precautions in case something disastrous happens.

Oh so just general paranoia.

Isn't the oolitical climate in the US always very uneasy?

Things look worse the more information is out, what the hell.

This is awful, just imagine all those people, waiting for years for a movie, you go to the midnight show superexcited and then this... what horrible news.

Absolutely horrible, I hope they get both alive. It will be easier to get their motives that way.

But who the fuck takes their children at a midnight showing of such a film? Just because it's Batman doesn't mean it's for children and kids should be in bed at that time. This makes it even more awful.

EDIT: A baby? What the freaking fuck? Who takes a baby to a cinema at midnight? Who can even shoot a baby. Fucking humans, goddamn!

This better not be because of some Batman fanboy BS shit, fml. This is terrible.

I'm sure it has nothing to do with the movie but the idea of knowing where large amounts of people are going to be, etc.

Fucking sucks with all those families involved. So much rage right now.

Visual, at this point, the movie doesn't matter. Families will never be complete again. And I'm certain that the Batman fans on GAF find the news story more important than the spoilers. Please, show more tact.

I feel sick. People just wanted to go and watch a film they were excited to see, instead they faced this. I hope they catch, name the fuckers and honestly, give these pricks a slow and horrible death.
