I was about to say you'll never catch me in a movie theater then I remembered the wife and I saw 2016 a few months ago. Prior to that the last time I had been in a theater was to see Twister in I believe 1996. I don't support Hollyweird or the liberal filth who work there.

I'm glad that you posted that. That's the way I feel, too.

Listen to John Lott’s interview on Mark Levin show
http://johnrlott.blogspot.com/2008/08/my-interview-on-mark-levins-show.html

Most of these incidents are suicides, staged to get maximum publicity. Sometimes the coward changes his mind at the last minute

BTW according to Lott’s research, most of these mass shootings take place where the shooter has planned and chosed a site where the victims are unarmed and unable to fight back. The Aurora theater shooter bypassed several theaters close to his apartment, to choose one where
“NO FIREARMS” signs were posted

Hmmmpf!

Cafeteria and clock tower pre-concealed carry. One a military base where their rules apply. the church, before they lifted its gun free zone status. Its these events which led us to today.....

BTW I was on campus for the clock tower shooting, a deputy shot him too!

But she ran in to the men’s room after him......Isn’t that a crime? ;-)


The rumor was that he had soiled himself when he saw someone armed chasing him. He ran into the bathroom to clean himself and while he dropped his pants and started to wipe, she charged in and shot him.

She will be charged with a ADA crime since the shooter was helpless and could not defend himself. She is sure to be convicted and sent to prison for this.

We all know how helpless you are on the pot and she knew it too. She should have waited until he was through and properly wiped before she shot him.

You’ll never catch me in a movie theater without my gun, that’s for sure.

I'd be more afraid of some nut setting fire to the place.

Yeah, and then locking all the exit doors, like on 'Criminal Minds'.
Of course, if the theater was ablaze you wouldn't even be able to warn the other moviegoers because you can't yell "fire" in a crowded theater.

Walt whitman was shot by a local with his own rifle. There were people at the Luby’s that left their guns in the car because it was illegal to carry inside the restaurant.

The shooter’s first mistake was attempting this in Texas. I visited some friends once in Dallas and we went to a movie. I must have seen a half dozen people in the theater that were openly carrying.

I’d say you’re all hat and no cattle, son...

And I'd say you're all insults, and no brains, son.

We do a better job here than any place I know of in the US. Perhaps, oh sarcastic one, you can tell us where it's done better ?

Do a better job of what, exactly? Texas is above the national average in basically every criminal statistic.

You're probably thinking of Charles Whitman.

Walt Whitman died of complications due to pneumonia, in his own bed.

I make no comment regarding what he deserved due to his poetry ...

lol...charles whitman...

walt may have bored people in English 301 to death on campus, but charles most definitely took the less creative route.
