Well, in Dark Knight Joker allowed himself to be captured as well.  :ph34r:

EDIT: Watching the video here. The youngest at the Children's hospital is 6. :(

6 year-olds definitely shouldn't be watching midnight screenings.

Apparently, there was a 3 month year old there. :hmm:

I'm watching the CNN and Fox News coverage. Already, some of the commentators are talking about violent video games and movies and how they probably influenced the shooter.  :wacko:

One last thought: You know some slimy Hollywood execs are pissed because this incident will scare some people from going to showings this weekend and therefore the movie won't set the new record for highest weekend opening gross.

This is what happens when a society tolerates a lack of affordable day care.

Is midnight considered day in Maryland?

Naturally you would play semantics with such a critical topic.  :mad:

Only an asshole would bring a baby to a movie.
PDH!

Looks like the assailant was a mall-ninja type, given all the tactical gear he was wearing.

I think it is okay for our society not to provide care at midnight so that parents can hang out at a late night movie. :P

3 month old baby is the youngest victim, in fair condition. :(

Dude used tear gas. How hard is that to get for civilians.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Easy enough for one asshole to get a hold of a canister every now & then.  When I was in college some jerk dropped one in a crowded night club I was in.  People on the first floor panicked and some were trampled.  People on the second floor broke out windows and I think a couple even jumped out.

I saw a baby get hit by a foul ball at a Reds game one time.  I wondered who the hell wants to bring a baby to a baseball game, particularly on one of the hotter days in August.

Well, on the bright side, this might make it easier to get in to see TDKR this weekend.
My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

Breivik in Norway gave himself up.   :huh:
