A perfect example of the liberal kneejerk reaction to appeal to emotion instead of to reality.
“oh! how terrible! it could have been MY daughters in there!”
And the reality of it is that some armed individuals in the theater could have put a stop to it. Though it may have been difficult, even for secret service guys, since the gunman was “armored up”.
What I’m hearing from liberals this morning is, “Where were all those CCW holders who were going to save us from killings like this?”
In any crime situation, the greatest imponderable is the element of surprise. Here we have a movie that attracts fans who are going to dress up in exactly the kind of ordinarily-conspicuous gear that Holmes was wearing. It was a movie that started with a soundtrack that the gunfire was initially confused with. And when you’re in the dark, in a crowd and a smoke grenade has just been thrown, how do you know where the incoming is coming in from?
