Are all our people from Colorado OK?

[Dexman PE PMP]

Sounds like he rigged up his apartment pretty well before going on his shooting spree.

The police should make him open the door...

 

[maryannette]

Glad you're ok, cement. That's too close.

 

[cdcengineer]

People like that are f'ed! There is no rehabilitating him so why didn't they put a bullet in him rather than taking him in.

Just glad that all our EB friends are OK. Sad for all the people suffering because a maniac decided he wanted to be famous.

I was watching TV and another idiot, little less maniac than the one at Colorado, was screaming about limiting people's access to weapons. Yeah right. Like this is going to stop assholes(excuse my French) to do things like this shooting.

 

[RIP - VTEnviro]

All laws that those accomplish is limiting the rights of the average, law abiding person.

 

[Dexman PE PMP]

Laws only control the honest people. Criminals, by definition, are not law abiding citizens...

If anything, actions like this only reinforce my belief in LESS gun restrictions. If honest people are armed and informed, the crazies and thugs will think twice...

 

[cdcengineer]

^ Bingo!

 

[cdcengineer]

Just imagine how hard it would be to come to grips with losing a child or spouse or anyone you care about to a bad accident. That would be tough enough, but to have to deal with sending your kid to a late night movie and never seeing them again would be impossible to handle.

Limiting guns won't stop anything. It'll just make the honest law-abiding folks even more vulnerable.

no one would believe that their offspring would be capable of such behaviour

I have read a few stories where, when informed of her son's actions, his mother said "yeah, that sounds like him." Turns out, he was a psycho, and his own mother knew it.

 

[cdcengineer]

I hadn;t even turned on news this AM. I heard about this on EB.com

 

[cement]

I'm just wondering why there werent 10 people jumping on him. I guess you had to be there. The police caught him outside by his car.

I'm hearing he was very well prepared, full body armor, balistic helmet, gas mask. he used flash bang grenades and tear gas to keep people disoriented. the whole concept of this creep doing this stuff really gets me angry. he will never see the light of day again, but I'm not sure that is enough.

 

[snickerd3]

the fact he rigged his apartment to blow means he had no intentions on going back to it...did he want to get caught?

 

[RIP - VTEnviro]

You'd think if that was the case he woulda offed himself before the cops got to him.

Now he gets 3 squares and a roof over his head, while lots of families are town apart.

This is the part that pisses me off most about this situation. No mater what happens now, there won't be justice.

 

[cdcengineer]

Cops should've dropped him on the spot

yeah, but not when he was born. That's when this one should've been drowned.

 

[knight1fox3]

Also glad all EB friends are ok. What a horrific event that was though. I'm also surprised he didn't get mobbed by a few at the theater and taken down. Probably way to chaotic to figure out what was going on.

Amen! Does CO have the death penalty?

 

[cement]

Actually, we do but it does not get used often.

I hope I get jury duty.

Ha - was watching Fox news on this last night (Fox is the only live news we get aside from CNN, which is international and only shows Hong Kong business news and cricket scores).

Here we have the folks who love to bitch and whine about the knee-jerk gun control reaction to mass shootings. And then they have their "expert" talking about how "smart people" can be pretty unstable, and perhaps universities should begin psychological screening because, you know, "smart people" are so... abnormal. (in so many words). Way to go, Fox!

 

[engineergurl]

big difference between educated and smart... just saying
