It is because of scumbags like this that I hold on tight to my guns. Last night the new Batman movie, "Dark Knight Rises", opened across the country. But in Aurora Colorado, a 24 year old man busted into a midnight showing of "Dark Knight Rises" and opened fire on the packed theater.

Like most people, when I go to a movie. It is an escape from reality. As soon as I enter a theater, I seem to forget about all the B.S. of the outside world. In this case the B.S. came barging in blasting rounds from an assault rifle. If I was at this showing of Batman, I would have first thought it was some kind of performance piece. Only until I started seeing people dying in the aisles.

According to our news guy at KGVO, Jon King "Twelve people are dead and fifty are injured after a murderous shootout in an Aurora, Colorado Movie  theater. Authorities have apprehended a 24-year-old man, James Holmes who is suspected of busting into the theater in full riot gear and firing shots into the crowd. Witness report a strange smell most likely produced by either pepper spray or the smoke bombs that clouded the theater. One of the victims was only 3 months old and eyewitnesses report seeing a police officer removing a young girl from the bloody scene."
