Shooting in Batman premiere?

[AussieFanKurt]

What's the legal definition of insanity?

Isn't it something to do with losing all grip with reality.

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.

Agree with you. It isn't as easy as shooting at the range but it isn't out of the realm of possibility to think that if you are prepared and are a good shot-that you could have made a difference.

Nothing unreasonable or braggish about what you said but some people can't help themselves.

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

She mentioned that above.

Of course it's bragging.

No one asked him anything about this. He just decided to brag that his vast shooting range experience made his being a fantasy hero in a crowded theater a sure bet.

It's just as likely he would have his pants and trampled women and children trying to get out of the theater.

I already said I thought he likely suffered from some form of sociopathy or antisocial disorder.

This isn't the first time that mingus boasted about all the cool he would have done in certain situations.

It's too bad nobody there had a handgun. If I had been there, that wouldn't have been the case (because of something that happened earlier in life where a guy was shot right in front of my eyes at a mall, I carry a .357 at all times) and this crazy mother er would have been dead on sight.

You're an idiot, sbm. Neverending.

[TE]

I already said I thought he likely suffered from some form of sociopathy or antisocial disorder.

So what do you call his acts? (don't tell me they're premeditated, you've already said that).

I call them horrible. And unfortunate.

Where are you going with this? His acts are premeditated murder. What else could anyone possibly call them?

ad hominem to your idiocy...

He's trying to trap me into calling them insane.

[MannyIsGod]

He might as well try to trap you into calling them bad. OH MAN, GOTCHA!

I think there's likely good chance he's got some sort of mental/social problem because many times people who do these things are. But its not an absolute certainty that a mass murdering head is necessarily mentally ill.

[da_suns_fan]

Weapons included AR-15 Assault rifle.

Also purchased legally.

The things he did, like shooting a 3 month old straight in the face, I think he is mentally ill.

Not playing this game with you or Chump.

Why does every shooting turn into a gun control discussion?

Most of the people who initiate these discussions are not versed on existing gun laws. They have this caricature of reality in their minds where gun control is concerned, that laws that prohibit the purchase of firearms do away with firearms. They ignore that laws that prohibit the purchase of drugs don't do away with drugs. They ignore that murder is against the law, ergo a law abiding citizen, one who would obey the gun law, wouldn't go on a shooting spree anyhow. They ignore the fact that existing gun laws prohibit the sale of guns to convicted felons, but convicted felons have guns just the same. They make every event an issue of blaming a political party instead of dealing with the real reason these things happen, people are bat crazy (no pun intended).

The world is full of crazy mother ers. That's been the case for a long, long time, and your personal security ultimately falls on you, not your congressman or even the police. Surely there were people in that theater that were for stronger gun control laws, and it's unlikely anyone there was carrying a concealed weapon (other than the shooter). When we are left to the whims of the billions of other people, our lives are always in danger. There's always going to be some recluse who spends too much time on fringe websites trying to make a name, someone who's been ed with non stop his whole life who wants to get even. That's the underlying theme to most of these sprees. That much is obvious to anyone who cares to check it out, yet the online bullying continues and every day these momma's boys are stocking up for their grand coming out party, and when he happens, some internet gun control keyboard commando will rant about laws they don't even know already exist.

Outstanding post DMC.

Only in America? Yeah murders never happen anywhere else. What a stupid thing to say.

They obviously happen everywhere, but 10,000 deaths a year by gun in America are unique to unfortunately unique to us.

And, as with the point I've been making, I don't think it's necessarily the case that someone with mental/social problems is "insane."

Ultimately, labeling actions that we can't personally relate to as "insane" is ing lazy. And makes it way too damned easy to sweep under the rug whatever issues foster sociopathy or encourage this level of violence.

Are you qualified to make a mental health diagnosis? Even if you were qualified, do you have the necessary information?

Questions are rhetorical.

Does committing this act automatically mean you're mentally ill? I don't believe it does, but I honestly don't know for sure. Are you arguing that he should not suffer punishment for these crimes and instead be placed in a mental ins ution until such time as he is not considered dangerous? Because thats what would happen if he's found insane by the court (chances of that happening are non existent)

[TE]

Would a pathological diagnosis of psychopath not also be appropriate for this man?

Sorry, dude bragged that he would have killed this guy on sight in the crowded, chaotic theater -- and you reposted his walkback position like he never made the first one.

Add "liar" to your resume.
