14 killed 50 wounded as of yet, a terrible tragedy. One can only wonder what would prompt such an act.

Well there has been death threats against the director, and threats because of the whole "Bane/Bain" issue..
 
The initial reports make this sound organized and planned, if more than one shooter I personally suspect jihadi or similar anti-western / anti-American motivation. Too many dead and injured, my prayers go out to all the effected people and families.

Police say there was only 1 person and he is in custody. He is a local.. well he has an apartment near by.

Also the car that is being investigated has Tennessee plates...

This is starting to smell more and more like it is a nutter and not a "jihadist".

Holy crap. That sounds like more than just some lone psycho spree killer.

This speculation...

****ing hell.

First question... Pete, are you implying straight off the bat this guy was a Romney Supporter.

Disputatious, are you honestly suggesting that your evidence for this being a Jihadi attack was that it was "organized" and that they attacked a Batman film in Denver... I'm pretty sure there are more high profile targets then that for Jihadists...

Both of you shut up til we have some solid info.

It does sound organised but, according to the BBC, the FBI have ruled out any terrorist connection. I'm afraid you'll have to deal with home-grown wacko theories. In any case, one guy is in custody, so we'll know sooner or later what the motive was.

Who knows, it is speculation. There has to be some link to the movie and I was only mentioning the two things that have been up in the media and web over the last week or so.. death threats against the director and the whole idiotic "Bane/Bain" bull**** from some on the right.

Both of you shut up til we have some solid info.

So you are against free speech now?

Are you honestly not comprehending the difference between evidence and speculation, especially in breaking news which by its nature is lacking in hard evidence during reporting. As an example the initial reports of more than one shooter and original low reports of injured and dea ?

Hopefully it will be a true isolated incident without an organized and funded group behind this attack.
 
Given that the mass shootings in the USA have ranged from psychos with brain tumors (Charles Whitman Jr-Texas tower 45 or so years ago) to bullied loser HS Kids (Columbine and several more) to a Muslim Military officer on a jihad (Ft Hood) there are many possible explanations and its silly to speculate until the shooter(s) are interrogated
 
Now I want to buy an M1A/M21/M25 even more.

One man with a scoped rifle would have stopped most of this tragedy.
 
i condemn all terrorists attacks against civillians ,a few days ago a bus carrying jews had been bombed .iF US wants to stop the terrorism ,firstly it must eliminate these organizations rather than support sunii regimes in the middle east that create islamist militants.

as someone who has trained in active shooter scenarios its very hard to deploy such a weapon in a crowded massacre scenario. Think of a movie theater, the masses and the fact that the longest distance is less than 50-70 yards. Someone armed with a Concealed handgun would have a far better chance.

''

initial reports indicate an active shooter not a jihadist. Lets no blame Islamists until, and only until there is proof

Now we both know that the US cannot be the only country acting to stop terrorism and that it is not just the Sunni sect of Islam that creates militants. Since this incident has yet to be verified as an attack against Jews or by Sunni's I am unsure exactly what part of this topic you are commenting on, but I welcome your participation.
 
I'm figuring some right wing wacko from the reports. Kind of poorly planned and I'm sure they would favor better explosives. Possibly reacting to limbo

Can you quote some source reports for your figuring ? What explosives ? Limbo, is this some religious tie in as well according to your reports?

yes but america is the only country which claims to be a world power and to fight " terrorism" in ıraq and afhganistan.
 
Seem's some member's are creaming in their pants for this to be a ''jihadi''.
