There’s something a little weird about the killed/wounded ratio: in any large-scale gun violence it’s usually about 1:4, not 1:1.4 as here. Could there be some factor in play that hasn’t been reported yet?

What a tragedy. Prayers to all involved. What is wrong with people?

MSM will be connecting this with Bane/Bain/Romney within the hour, that’s my prediction.

The captured shooter has been identified as Mohammad Alam, an Iranian immigrant. The identity of the other shooter is still unknown, Oates states. (KUSA-TV © 2012 Multimedia Holdings Corporation)

It could possibly be connected with the socialists attempt to create a terrible shooting event that would make enough of an outrage to confiscate guns all across America.

Well even if a tour bus rolled into Disneyworld with a Dillon minigun and slautered several thousand children I still doubt America will give up its guns, no we will buy more.

"Who the hell takes a 3 month old to a midnight premier"?

That was my thought too -- who takes babies and toddlers to a MIDNIGHT movie????

Also, Thursday evening was the start of Ramadan.

Beyond the obvious tragedy, this is very, very strange.

You people...who gives a shit? I guess those dumb parents should’ve anticipated a mass murder, right?

Welcome to the new America.

Anyway, the baby probably still doesn’t sleep through the night. So why not go to the movies so everyone can enjoy the baby!

Yes, but it hints at more than your typical shooter.

What is in Aurora? Anything military, finance, or such?

In others words, is this just another “isolated event?”

So why doesn’t Colorado recognise either my Minnesota or Utah Concealed Carry Permit? It makes me plan to go elsewhere for vacations. I wonder if there were any CCW holders there that night. I’ll be not.

The result is a turkey shoot. So sad. My prayers go out to all of the victims and their families.
