20 people shot at Batman midnight screening.

It's plain to see that you don't really follow the NBA, as the Lakers haven't been amongst the 4 best teams for the last 2 seasons.

I know and I have enjoyed them merely being among the good teams and not the elite teams for a short while.  But judging from the offseason they will be back to form this year.

That remains to be seen, IMO. Nash is a hall of famer, but already pushing 38 or something. Now, if they got Howard, then they'd be a true powerhouse.

Sounds like this wackjob was pretty competent.

A nice press conference with an FBI agent involved in defusing the bomb can be found here.

AURORA, Colo. -- The booby-trapped apartment of mass shooting suspect James Eagan Holmes was "designed to kill," officials said Saturday as they described a complex operation to disarm sophisticated explosives without destroying evidence.

"This was certainly challenging," said FBI agent Jim Yacone, detailing the discovery of the explosive devices and the use of a robot to disarm a trip wire and a primary bomb.

"The threat has not been completely eliminated," Yacone said, while adding that enough progress had been made that "an extensive amount of evidence is in the process of being collected."

Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates told reporters that he believed the rigged apartment targeted the police. "We sure as hell are angry," he said.

"This apartment was designed to kill whoever entered it," he said. "Make no mistake about it."

Holmes had received a "high volume of deliveries" over the last four months at home and at school, which would explain how he obtained thousands of rounds of ammunition, Oates said.

He said it could take another day to fully dismantle explosives in the apartment and collect evidence, adding that residents of four neighboring buildings could be allowed to return Saturday night. Residents of the building where Holmes lived might be allowed back on Sunday, he said.

Late Saturday afternoon, authorities removed all hazardous materials found in the apartment to a "remote undisclosed location" outside the city limits for disposal, police told NBC.  Most of the items were chemicals that, if mixed together, would cause explosions, they said.

Specialists earlier set off a small, controlled detonation inside the apartment after first disarming a trip wire and incendiary device.

The blast succeeded in disarming a second triggering device, Aurora police Sgt. Cassidee Carlson told reporters.

A siren and shouts of "Fire in the hole" preceded the blast. Live video showed the blast blowing out part of a window, but no smoke or fire resulted.

"The controlled detonation was successful," the Aurora Police Department said in a statement. "Still more work to be done in the apartment to include dealing with other devices. There is a possibility of more controlled detonations."

The 800-square-foot apartment appears to have three types of explosives, a law enforcement source told the Associated Press: jars with accelerants; chemicals that would explode when mixed together; and more than 30 "improvised grenades" that resemble commercially available aerial fireworks shells.

Before the detonation, Carlson announced a trip wire and explosive had been disarmed, saying "we have been successful in defeating the first threat."

She added that "another triggering mechanism" had been found inside, and that was later followed up with the controlled detonation.

"We're going to be very cautious," she added, because "we don't want to lose" any evidence.

Any undetonated explosives will be taken in trucks lined with sand to take the impact of any explosion, she said, adding that some 30 aerial shells are among the items detected inside the apartment on Friday.

Fire trucks surrounded the building on Saturday as a precaution. Some adults and children in nearby buildings not evacuated watched from balconies.

Earlier Saturday, streets around the building were cleared, four neighboring buildings were evacuated and some unattended vehicles were towed away.

On Friday, tenants in Holmes' apartment building cleared out, taking with them a few belongings.

The Red Cross said Saturday that 16 evacuees were in one of the agency's shelters.

The building is in a lower-income area about four miles from where the shootings took place during a midnight premiere of the Batman movie "The Dark Knight Rises".

Gun nuts are goofy.

From Jaron's website:

If the baby was shot at point blank range, that means the shooter was right there beside them. Instead of gathering around and screaming, why didn't the family tackle the shooter?

This is not any sort of insensitive attempt at satire or blaming anyone, by the way. This is purely an effort to ask a deeply disturbing question that has been bothering me ever since this whole thing went down:

How can a lone gunman fire off at least 100 rounds in a crowded theater full of people and have NOBODY fight back, shoot back or attempt to tackle him?

Martinus?

Shock, confusion, and disbelief would be my guess. Plus, personal preservation. Whoever tackled the guy would be risking getting shot point-blank.

[Jaron]

Plus the darkness and tear gas. It was like Munich all over again.

  Combination of all of the above, methinks.

The Fountainhead was interesting. Among other things it teaches us that women long to be raped.
