He could have had a knife or an infected needle.
He could have had an accomplice.
He was killing people. He went into a theater where he knew there would be unarmed, unprepared people. He was in body armor with crotch and neck guards. The shooter knew he would cause terror.
I’m sure most people in that theater were confused as to what was going on. A lot of them thought it was a publicity gimmick.
I don’t fault anyone who ran. I don’t think they’re cowards.
I fault the coward who dropped his kid and ran out leaving his girlfriend, their baby and toddler. He not just ran out but drove off in their car and then had the nerve to get in front of a tv camera and tell the world with no shame. Here's to the girlfriend to dumping his stuff on the sidewalk and making that sorry excuse for a man run far, far away from home today.
