Shooting in Batman premiere?

[Mog]

Not really. If you have ever taken a firearms class, the same rules apply. You don't shoot you're target if you don't have a clear shot/someone is in the way.

Wrong. In a real shootout all rules off and you have to make split second decisions and all the firearms classes won't matter. Great marksmanship doesn't always equal great soldier/fighter.

That's how confident I am in my ability to shoot accurately and precisely. I have no doubt that had I been there I would have identified the target, looked for the right shot, would have found it, and would have connected. I think had there been several other people who were well-trained in firearms would have done the same.

I don't think I would be a badass for doing it, either. You are entirely wrong about that, but I expect the name-calling, ad hominem attacks to come from you, so it is not too surprising.

Respectully disagree. I think it would be too difficult because of the amount of people, the darkness, the chaos. Just my opinion, I could be flat ass wrong.

were they unpredictable back in 1776 whenever we became a free people thanks to gun ownership rights?

huh this thread was fine until you interjected your 2 bit sense into it...please go away...you're disgusting..I think I speak on behalf of everyone here that after you pulled that stunt in the NBA forum by attacking a nice young snow bunny *aka* basketballgirl25 no one really cares to hear your opinion on what you think...you're a joke to us now...get lost loser

[Blake]

A. You watch too many movies, it's obvious. It's very easy to construct a home made bomb.

this made me laugh out loud.

Quick google on the definition of insanity:

in·san·i·ty/inˈsanitē/
Noun:
The state of being seriously mentally ill; madness.
Extreme foolishness or irrationality.

Everything this guy did in the shooting falls under any and all these descriptions.

What the definition you found doesn't include is that "insanity" has been largely dismissed as a medical term because it is so general as to have become meaningless.

I would be very surprised if this guy didn't suffer from some sort of sociopathy or antisocial disorder, but such disorders don't always manifest in a way that fits the colloquial definition of "insanity": hearing voices, talking to oneself, acting irrationally, etc. Clearly his course of action was carefully planned and well thought out -- lacking the foolishness or irrationality in your definition.

Are you saying that carefully planned actions cannot be foolish or irrational!?

Here's my take on it:

1.We glorify killers in some shape, form or fashion by making them into legends instead of quietly dispensing of them as we should. A person who might have a strong desire to be world famous but doesn't have the talent to get there has the option of going to the other side, infamy. They can kill a bunch of people and it becomes the story of the day, week or whatever, and maybe even a movie will be made about them. So what they end up in prison or dead, they've ensured their name and face will be recorded in the annals of history.

2. From birth now days children are exposed to the concept that killing others is fun. It's in every movie, in every decent video game, and even their music now is about killing someone, doing a drive by, whatever. They don't learn these things as a fun, temporary escape, but from the time they can comprehend their surroundings they are introduced to violence (even the 3 month old in the theater, for example, with the movie being violent).

3. The clear line between socially accepted and outcast is getting even wider.

4. Some people are just ing crazy and need to be put down.

So..... what violent movie premier's did Hitler, Mussolini and Pol Pot attend....what music did they have on their I-Pods

/fail DMC is just a failure

Ok, that means it was probably accurate then.

I'm entirely right about your bragging about being such a badass shooting range avenger. Nobody asked. You couldn't wait to post it here so we could all marvel at your amazing skill and steely nerve.

[Koolaid_Man]

for a guy who's wife left him for a big black buck you sure know how to make light of such situations..I guess at some point you had to embrace it in order to move on...I can hate on you for that playa..

Carry on

Bad guys already have their weapons drawn when they assault you or come into your house. He may be alone but usually there's 2 or more. They can have automatic rifles or not. They may be hyped up on drugs. They already planned their attack and is already at full alert while you sleep in your pajamas.

Homeowners like me are already at a disadvantage, it's nice to have an option on what kind of weapon you can use to protect yourself.

Well , why stop at assault rifle? Sounds like you need a missile launcher.

[Blake]

Naw. Usually home made bombs are the stuff of tv/movies.

[DMC]

For you, sure.

So are theater shootings.

Never heard of an IED eh? (hint, doesn't necessarily prevent pregnancy).

[Blake]

For you, sure.

Cool. How long did it take you to make your bomb

[DMC]

While you just need a cell phone, right?




"911 whats your emergency?"

"someone's breaking in my house"

"where are you sir?"

"I'm under the bed"

"oh ok, don't worry, they won't hurt you if you act docile"

Not that it is particularly relevant to the discussions being had here today in this thread, but when speaking of the downfall of society, I still firmly believe that the internet is the worst thing mankind ever invented as it pertains to ruining the human race.

I said that the moment I logged on in 1996 on AOL. I was only 16 at the time and even thought it then.

Don't know if I can get that hyperbolic about it, and I'm far from a luddite, but I generally agree. And I know I've said similar in various discussions here in the past.

I'm rapidly approaching the age where any "in my day..." rant I go on comes across as anti-whippersnapper fist shaking, but I do think things were different back in my day. Even as a snarky, smart ass kid who hung with other snarky, smart ass kids and young adults, the people who made up my cohort when I was in college in 1996 were nowhere near as detached and apathetic as the people who made up my cohort when I went back to school in 2007. And I think a lot of that had to do with the fact the latter group grew up with the consequence-free anonymity of the interwebs.

No. I'm not. I'm merely suggesting that the actions of this person do not, on their own, support the assumption he fits the legal or colloquial definition of insanity.

[Spurs da champs]

Well apparently he colored his hair to make himself look like the Joker, what an idiot tho, Joker's hair is green not red.

But that mask obviously proves yet again that this bull was premeditated & an insane man would have no ing idea what to do.

[TE]

What's the legal definition of insanity?

What's the legal definition of insanity?

@ CF, what do you think of this murderer and his success in killing 12 people? What do you label him?
