Shooting in Batman premiere?

[lebomb]

Thoughts to the families of the victims.

I will still carry everywhere I go.
People who want to ban guns, seriously can go themselves!
If another crazed guy like him starts shooting and corners my family, I want something with me to give me a fighting chance to stay alive.

I dont have a concealed carry license (yet??), but I wish a fool would try and enter my house uninvited. I will peel a cap in dat azz!!!

It also can be changed.... the racist parts of the Cons ution have long since been cancelled out of it by amendments....

Furthermore, we NEED the Cons ution to set limits on what the government can do... we've elected far too many politicians who ignore the Cons ution, and now we have a government that is too big, too expensive, and too power-hungry, tbh....

Makes no difference to my question you never answered and never will, Sally.

Which question, fruity?

[emoticon] You quoted it.

Damn you are an idiot.

He asked why everyone who watched that movie didn't go on a rampage afterwards, since you claimed the movie was meant to incite them.....

This guy was a Phd student of Neuroscience...wondering if he knew he was crazy himself given what he knew from his education.

I'm going to sincere for a min. I live in a neighborhood where the homes range from 500k to 3 million. I'm one of a few blacks and I got guns and then some and its not because I fear s. I know these white boys can snap at any moment...especially given my sexual exploits

Because, not everyone was at the point where last nights killer was.

Call it crazy, call it weak, call it misinformed, call it insane, whatever...

Does not take away that a movie could be inciting.

Before people fought with guns they fought with what idiot? Knives and swords. If they took away our guns guess what?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??????????????

Very good point, Heath.

Cue the "But at least there will only be 3 people killed instead of 30" argument from the people who value life so much they want to ban guns but thinks 2-3 people killed is semi ok.

I can tell you this, my wife didnt like me to have a gun........then I went out of the country for a couple of weeks to work. Came back and she told me to keep it, she felt much safer knowing it was within reach while I was gone.

Yeah, any superhero movie makes me want to smoke all fools!!!!

Try to keep up.

So you're blaming movies? You're an idiot, then....

Ahhhh............nevermind. That movie just makes me want to pimp slap someone.

Warner Bros has pulled the trailer for the movie 'Gangster Squad' which aired in front of Batman. Apparently there is a scene in the trailer involving a theater shooting.

Go back and read my posts. Not gonna explain it again.

Reading comprehension.

I got nothing to add, this is already a second amendment debate again, and that's fine. It's good to debate these things, but obviously right now it will be full of knee jerk reactions, which is normal.

just a disgusting event, now when I see TDKR, instead on focusing on how good or bad the movie is, you're going to be thinking of the tragedy and whether some repeat psycho will occur. Just a horrible situation for the victims and families, and even for the filmmakers.

I hope this pos gets electrocuted slowly, something painful and brutal, but these types always exist. Thoughts and prayers to those harmed.

You're arguing that artists should censor themselves because someone could potentially claim to have been influenced by it to commit a horrible act.

That's ridiculous.

There ware never any assassinations in The Catcher in the Rye.

Oh, I just got a PM threatening an e-rampage. That's for another thread.

You are claiming that violent movies play a role in inciting tragedies like this, thereby implying that they are somehow partially to blame....

Again, the blame falls 100% on the shooter, period.

i saw that trailer the other day (i was at Prometheus, not TDKR) and soon as I started reading this , I knew they'd pull that trailer.

I wouldn't be shocked if they cut that scene entirely and quickly reshoot something else.

Just about anything could be inciting, but you singled out movies.

And now you are wavering, trying to walk the fence.

it's what you do.

See post #48 in this thread for the movie trailer...it almost seems like th director is glorifying this act. The whole movie had that feel...like when the killer goes to the barista in the coffee shop and makes the guy make him a coffee drink and then gleefully shoots him in the back...

you almost felt like the director was inciting this kind of .

here is the coffee shop scene...

I know i've seen it before. Recommended it in the Netflix thread long time ago.

[CitizenDwayne]

If even one iota of the blame is put on movies, that is too much.

People would be killing other people regardless of violence in films. People just need something to blame. I may be going out on a limb, but how about blaming the shooter?

Yep, while people may certainly acquire ideas from games and movies, I don't think a lot of those people are at a level of crazy to conspire to do something this insane.


It really has to do with the person and his/her reason for doing something of this magnitude.

You are making up stuff.

I said there are a lot of reasons and a lot of things are responsible for things like this to happen. Ultimately the killer is responsible. He did it. No one else.

If you dig deeper and see how this killer was put together- you will begin to unravel how he was programmed-as we all were.

Some people take this programming and never hurt anyone. Some people take this programming and hurt others. Ultimately there are a lot of factors involved in a tragedy and the reasons that led to it.

I never placed sole blame on anything.

If you want to do yourself a favor- watch the movie "Rampage."

I kid you not- and as I said in an early post- the first reaction that I and the Mrs. had after watching it is - why?

Why would a director be this irresponsible and make this movie- it is just begging for trouble?

Watch it and see if you don't get a similar feeling. After reading the details of last nights tragedy - this movie came right back to me. It happened just like I thought it would immediately upon watching it.

Was it the movie industry's fault or the director? No.

But it might have played a tiny part in it.
