Carli Richards, Aurora Shooting Survivor, Responds To Megadeth Singer's Obama 'Staged' Comment

Carli Richards, a survivor of the Aurora movie theater shooting that last month left 12 people dead and 58 injured, has a message for Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine: President Barack Obama didn't shoot her.

"Some people think the president is a good scapegoat but he didn't shoot me," Richards told TMZ.

Richards' comments came in the wake of a statement Mustaine made at a recent show in Singapore.

"Back in my country, my president is trying to pass a gun ban so he's staging all of these murders," Mustaine told the crowd. "The 'Fast and Furious' thing down at the border. And Aurora, Colorado, all the people that were killed there. And now, the beautiful people at the Sikh temple."

Mustaine continued, "I don't know where I'm going to live if America keeps going the way it's going because it looks like it's turning into Nazi America."

"Everybody is emotional at this time and needs to blame somebody I guess," Richards, who suffered multiple bullet wounds in the July 20 shooting, told TMZ.

James Holmes, the accused gunman, showed no emotion during a procedural hearing in a Denver court on Thursday, the Associated Press reports.

Earlier this month, Richards said that death by firing squad "would be totally justified" as a punishment for the alleged shooter.

    • @IamCanadian Ya the other day I was at the store and out in the parking lot this rather nasty assed looking toad got out of her car-sloppy, fat, smoking a butt, dragging the little toehead around-and tats all over her--I was thinking--this kid will one day grow up and scratch his head that that vomit bucket was actually his mom.

  • Maybe the real argument is the Aurora movie theater chain is a "GUN FREE ZONE". If someone in the theater is concealed carry, the tragedy will be limited.

    If you get infuriated about some rocker, or actor, or artist say anything political, then you are giving more credits they they deserve.

  • The fine folks in Singapore went to his show expecting to be entertained. I'm sure they didn't go to listen to this guys political commentary.

    All entertainers should be banned from trying to talk politics. Besides the fact that nobody cares what they think, they often come off looking like a complete tool.

    • @Chickenfried Him along with Rage Against The Machine. While I would agree with more Dave would say, I still don't need a Rock Star Sermon from either one.

  • Take guns away from people so that they are completely dependent on the government for self defense. Just plain stupid!

  • Really to go around saying things like that, I think that Megadeth idiot is showing the effects on brain chemistry of too many illegal drugs

  • Kinda stupid how now anyone who commits a horrible crime will be looked at as a Martyr for the government.

    You can get away with anything now that everything is a government conspiracy.

    too many newbs.

  • Look, wingnuts always want to blame POTUS for everything. They blamed Bush, admittedly in Obongo's case the long knives are really out, but racists, rednecks and "conservatives" will blame Obongo for everything from global warming (which they ONLY believe in if Obongo can be blamed for it) to the murder of Rasputin.

    Which is fair enough, because "progressives", leftists, multiculturalists and Dhimmi apologists blamed Bush for the same shit.

    Bottom line, the far right and fa More..

    if anyone gets to decide, it should be a victim.

  • He complains about the US supposedly turning into a rightwing dictatorship in front of an audience in Singapore! He is eiter very sarcastic, ignorant or has no empathy for people who actually live in an unfree society.

    • @Ogrish D Ogre Do a bit more research. You can start off by looking at the page you linked to, in particular how the "free" elections led to the People's Action Party having 81 out of 87 seats in parliament. Further research will tell you that the PAP has had an absolute majority since independence. No surprise when political opinions are polled by the secret police ahead of elections and the constituencies are changed geographically in order to get the desired result.
