  • What a cowardly act by a cowardly man. Ambushing men, women and children in a crowded theatre. There's a special place waiting for you in hell.

  • I wonder what his LL name was. I'm trying to remember the name of that one totally psychotic native that used to hang out here.

    And no it's not Illuminati, but they could be cousins maybe.

  • Horrible. Senseless...

    Buy gun and ammo

    go to crowded place

    open fire.

    Strange how Al Quaida can never pull this off, despite being in a mortal struggle with America, yet some disgruntled American teen manages it every couple of years.

    Sad thing is that these random lunatics are what makes the governments crackdown ever harder with surveilance of all the generally normal folk.

    Bastards ruin it for everyone so we all have to have licences for this and for that...

    I can see why Ameriacans w More..

  • Now CNN is saying a 24 year old white male. Maybe I jumped the gun somewhat believing some British tabloid shit in this article but it still is possible he's as white as Zimmerman.

    RIP to the innocent movie-goers

    • @Tyrone_Biggums Is it ever though?

      Its usually just a nutcase....from America.

      In this case it looks like the guy got pissed because the theater was sold out for Batman.
