Who was responsible?

James Holmes. End of list

Anybody blaming any political party or OWS or whatever is just trying to exploit a horrific situation for their own gain.

[-] 3 points by brightonsage (4494) 11 years ago

No that isn't the question. Do you want to condone it happening again or are you willing to do something to prevent it? You don't mean "end of list". "End of thought about it", is what you mean. "I know it will happen again and I just don't care enough to change one single thing. I prefer the status quo so much that no consequences are terrible enough to change my mind. Not now, not ever."

If a bus load of children swerve into a bridge railing and the bus goes over the side and all end their lives in a fireball; do you, upon finding the driver's name say, "Who is responsible? John Doe. End of list?" You would have no interest in who changed parts in the steering mechanism? The manufacturer of the parts that were replaced? Who checked the bus after a previous accident? The manager who sent the driver on that run knowing that he had just completed a 27 hour run twenty minutes before beginning this one? The manager who set the policy setting no limit on the number of hours of continuous driving? The person who changed lanes without signaling just ahead of the bus?

Do you have more than one standard for dealing with tragedies that involve people? Do you really believe that every tragedy involving people is always the sole responsibility of the one individual most directly involved and absolutely no one else? Do you believe that courts should use only this policy?

some would look to America's selling of arms around the world as being a contributor to the violence we see, I think I agree up to a point as I think those who sell firearms and promote laws to make those sales easy contribute to violence like what we saw in Aurora

Cannot blame it on guns and if he did not have any then he probably would have made a bomb

Whether James Holmes was brainwashed in some way, who's to say? Here's what I think is more important: I have read up on sources, including discussions about MKULTRA, that provide at least some circumstantial evidence that a MASS brainwashing program was either contemplated or implemented in the 1970's. Where I think this has implications...whether the source is the CIA, NSA, corporate/media/advertising/military complex or some combination is what the impact on history was. For example, the sharp turn to the right in our society, especially with folks in my age group (mid/late baby boomers) in the late 1970's/early 1980's was no accident. And from that impact on history we face the myriad challenges we have today. However, I will say it is certainly refreshing to see how people (for the most part) speak freely here on this website versus the rather superficial and stilted communication modality we see on Twitter, Facebook and the like (some might argue that's an example of brainwashing right there)!

What with 4% sociopaths now, it being genetic, and the 1% separating themselves more and more:

and being a sociopath helping people get into the 1%

I had a very close friend for many years who was also a sociopath there may well be over diagnoses, but this condition is real, it is dangerous, and it is genetic, to address the entire DSM in order to discuss this expands the discussion unnecessarily I believe, but it is no doubt a subject within itself, custody in divorce is also a hugely affected by bullshit from the DSM, but that’s something else, I really don’t even want to “defend” the position to me that borders on pushing a particular spiritual view.

It is vain and foolish to think that micky "D" spends billions to do nothing, yet people rail in anger when one says "as a child I was affected".

I should apologize if I seemed too dismissive in the beginning, as is usually the case in such matters there may have been intent, but still my bad,

I do think there has been huge investment both known and unknown into shaping how we view the world, and to insure that view benefits those who paid to make us think that way.

The Tongue

.

Stand naked and alone before the whole wide world -

Bleed beneath the knife in broad day light -

. . . . yet no one sees . . .

.

The mind convulsed with truths and bursting

fish upon the rapids leaping, bent to spawn,

intent to speak one word, one radient rainbow gem

sparkling bold and glorious . . .

.

The tongue clacks softly in an orifice of dust,

no other sound will utter;

the damned tongue no other sound will utter . . .

a rooster in the yard, ripe for plucking,

sans it's head and running -

the damned tongue no other sound will utter . . .

.

Plumb the depths of madness screaming . . .

.

While the people all around make merry, laughing . . .

Corpses leering, lined in rows

do not intrude upon these gay undead

. . . . for this is not allowed

and there is nothing left that one may say . . .

.

. . . . Welcome to Hell.

They just decided it would be crazy to make it so easy for folks to kill each other, probably because they knew people get pissed off and do things they don’t mean to, but you can’t take the bullet back.

[-] 3 points by beautifulworld (23769) 11 years ago

No. We do not have a similar culture to Europe. If we did, ALEC wouldn't have half the power it does.

Also, the reason they don't have guns in Europe, factsrfun, is because it is a different culture. It starts right there.

[-] 0 points by factsrfun (8310) from Phoenix, AZ 11 years ago

Our movies do very well there.

I think it starts with 300 million guns floating around, I think the death rates would be the same if they had the guns, and they would have the guns if the laws were the same, saying that Americans are just more violent, (or lazy, ect.) is a copout I think for those afraid to face the fact that we got way too many guns around here.

sorry these lines jump around I was trying not to be repetitive

[-] 1 points by gnomunny (6819) from St Louis, MO 11 years ago

That's understandable. The jumping around part, I mean. I don't think we have a European culture. I'm not sure there is such a thing. Although I don't know this for sure, I'm not sure violence is glorified and made 'cool' over there like it is here. Although the jury is still out, I'm absolutely convinced this is one of the reasons we're so violent, although I do concede we have also have a gun problem. The proliferation of violence in entertainment, at the very least, numbs you to violence and gore. THAT part has been proven scientifically. I just read a quote from one of our soldiers that basically said, in reference to killing, "it was just like a video game!" Also consider. Twelve dead in Aurora. You don't need a 100 round clip to do that. Just one box.

[-] -3 points by slizzo (-96) 11 years ago

"why the difference if guns don’t matter?"

I didn't say guns don't matter, I just disagreed with (and proved wrong) your absurd statement that other countries don't know "other methods" of mass murder.

it was ridiculous, and despite your weak and transparent attempt to swerve (for example, from "other countries" to "Europe"), it is still ridiculous.

believe it or not, you're going to make a mistake once in a while. everyone says things that they can't back up, and it doesn't mean your entire life has been a waste and a joke. stop treating a minor misstatement like it does, kid. lying or other forms of dishonesty used to "save face" on an internet message board is pretty lame.

[-] -1 points by slizzo (-96) 11 years ago

I am sure how lame you have to be to pretend "other countries" and "Europe" are the same thing, and in the context even more so.

but as you have shown with your sudden shut-up-edness over the democrats using the target symbol, it's clear you're so full of shit you'll say anything to avoid losing face on an internet message board.

it's very, very lame.

did you look at the targets from democrat websites? did it sting like a MFer to be proven wrong like that? maybe when you get past puberty and reach adulthood you'll find the inner strength and maturity to admit you made a little boo-boo, safe in knowledge that it won't leave a scratch on you to do so.

Those who oppose reasonable gun control should stand by their convictions in good times and bad. Be proud that this is how high a price you are willing to pay in order to be able to shoot cops if the government goes too far, in your opinion.

For the record I support more gun control laws because, in the first place I don't see me ever taking to violence and in the second things like this aren't nearly so common in civilized countries, but hey they get healthcare just cause their sick in places like that, too.

Localized gun violence is a terrible problem. International military violence is a gargantuan problem. There is no comparison between the two. What is more lethal? An armed civilian or an armed soldier?

We may find out soon if the present trend in loss of personal freedom continues.

[-] 2 points by brightonsage (4494) 11 years ago

I think there is a comparison. The scale is the difference, the principles are the same. Humans haven't learned to handle freedom much better today than they did in the 1600's, nor have they learned the lessons of oppression. Our progress in various aspects of human endeavor have taken giant steps forward. Making rational and compassionate judgements in dealing with others is not one of them. Yet we are seemingly unable to apply what we learn in one area to another. Curious don't you think?

Essentially wasting $700 billion on defense (intimidation really) seems absurd, when "getting along" with others has been done, could be and should be done. The $700 billion could be so useful in addressing other real needs.

How much better off are we than in the stone age? We can kill more people lots faster. But the broccoli only grows a little faster.

All I'm saying is that even if the reading of the second amendment is as the gun nuts says it is, an individual right, not a state right, then I still support more restrictive gun access in this country, because I feel the cost is too high and I am never going to "take arms" against my government anyway.

[-] 1 points by Odin (583) 11 years ago

I have never owned a gun in my life, but I do not believe that people should not be able to own them mostly because of the proliferation of guns already out there. I wish that weren't so, but since it is, people do have a right to protect themselves. Two of my three daughters own guns for good reason though. One is a public defender in AK who has been threatened, and the other has a cabin in a fairly remote part of AK. They both care about people, and do their part to make this a better world. But yes I do agree with a ban on assault weapons. Yes your comment was a bit cryptic, but I understand you now. Thanks.

It is another problem that I do not have the answer for, but I definitely feel that there should be a ban on assault weapons.

You do realize that your contempt for those who don't interpret the Constitution as you do, shows how intolerant you are. Who died and made you the gate keeper of the American Constitution.

I don't believe the Founders were as arrogant and confident in the infallibility of the Document as you are. I believe your unwavering faith that your interpretation is the only true and proper interpretation is border line fanaticism. If you keep believing you are right and those who disagree are wrong, you are going to be eternally disappointed when others no longer see it the way you do. The only constant is change, and those who are beholden to the past find it hard to adapt to new realities. But I guess that is what makes you a unrelenting Conservative, huh?

An armed, properly trained citizen could have shot ONE person-the one actually opening fire on the innocent audience-and brought the body count down significantly, maybe even to ONE.

How long have you had this problem with determining the difference between an offensive act and a defensive one?

[-] 4 points by DKAtoday (33802) from Coon Rapids, MN 11 years ago

A crowded theater the lights are off you have light ( unreliable shifting jumping ) from the screen.

A guy enters and starts firing on the crowd = pandemonium chaos.

Your hero is where in the theater in relation to the shooter?

Grow-up.

The armed hero would have to be in the exact right position to take the nutter down.

[-] 2 points by TitusMoans (2451) from Boulder City, NV 11 years ago

To be fair, however, the movie theater probably would not have allowed a legally armed person inside, like many other places in the country that forbid firearms indoors.

I am not against firearms and even carrying them legally. At the same time I don't believe we want firefights going on between legally armed people and nutjobs like the theater shooter. Anyone that has handled firearms will tell you bullets go a long way, many times even after they've going through a human body.

that one victim survived a shooting in Toronto. Doesn't Canada have strict gun control laws? what happened there?

[-] -3 points by hchc (3297) from Tampa, FL 11 years ago

I think we first need to remember that there are 14k murders per year in this country. We are a messed up country, love violence.

Second, I think we need to remember that these incidences of people who are killing randomly (as opposed to the vast majority of murders that have a specific victim in mind) are so rare that its almost silly to think that we even need to think about how to stop them in the process.

That being said, if there was ONE armed and responsible person in that theater who was properly trained with a firearm, I can guarantee he would have been put down in 10 seconds.

[-] 4 points by TitusMoans (2451) from Boulder City, NV 11 years ago

The theater shooter seemed to have a good knowledge of weapon-handling procedures, aside from the fact that he used tear gas and possessed a gas mask himself.

Another armed person with equal or better training may have been able to stop the shooter or may have just caused an even bigger mess.

As you point out, so far mass shooters like the one in the theater are rare, but as our society continues to degenerate, we can probably expect an increase in the number of these mass melees.

[-] 3 points by brightonsage (4494) 11 years ago

With armor on torso, head and legs, in the mostly dark, through tear gas and lots of bodies in full panic, jumping over seats. My money is on the shooter. Most likely you would be shot in the back by another citizen before your third shot.

If I knew that three people were carrying in the theater, I would stay home and watch reruns. Bet I am not the only one.

[+] -4 points by hchc (3297) from Tampa, FL 11 years ago

I bet you aren't either. You'd be suprised how many people around you are that you never know about. They simply dont want to be caught with their pants down.

How often have you shot? All those people in that theater would have been better off if there was an ex military/cop in the crowd who was armed.

[-] 5 points by brightonsage (4494) 11 years ago

I grew up with guns. Was responsible for providing meat all winter. It was a necessary tool. I was shot once by a hunter I was guiding hunting pheasants. I don 't shoot now because there is no reason to. We don't know that no one had a gun on them, do we? Since he started with a shot gun and had armor, anyone standing up to shoot might have got one off. The result? I doubt the outcome would have been different, but I am sure it makes you feel better to think so. Maybe you should carry a hand grenade? A flare gun so you would have light? Body armor? (It was about 85 outside at the time.) An attack dog? Claymores? RPG's?

[+] -4 points by hchc (3297) from Tampa, FL 11 years ago

haha... I just would like to think that having some way to stop someone like this is better than everyone sitting there like ducks.

[-] 4 points by brightonsage (4494) 11 years ago

No answer? Actually they weren't just sitting there. They were protecting each other, hurdling over each other to try to get out, everything from panic to heroism.

My brother lives about three miles from there and I used to be that close.

Being in the area, you hear a lot of anecdotal stuff. Some factual some not.

Fight or flight response is something impossible to calculate for a specific individual (even yourself). Sometimes they do one, in others the other.

If someone else stood up with a gun, the odds are much higher than zero that they would have been attacked. Proximity enters into it.

I have heard the numbers could have been much higher but the AR jammed. The 100 round mag seems like such a necessary sporting accessory?

[-] 1 points by DKAtoday (33802) from Coon Rapids, MN 11 years ago

Nice comment - I find that those who have taken the time to consider varying scenarios that could possibly happen are the ones who will not get caught flatfooted/unprepared and then just have to randomly react - if they are not frozen in place with indecision.

[-] -1 points by hchc (3297) from Tampa, FL 11 years ago

Your right, you never can calculate flight or fight. You just have to go off past experiences.

If you stood up int the middle of that to shoot, you have no clue what you are doing.

You really didnt think I'd take the previous question about Claymores and rpgs seriously, did you?

All Im saying is that every single country, regardless of gun laws, has incidences like this. Our country is exceptionally violent, as evidenced by the media and the 14k murders per year.

Listen hind sight is always 20/20, and we can theorize all we want.

If you heard people were armed when they were at the grocery store, would you stay home from there too?

[-] 3 points by brightonsage (4494) 11 years ago

In my area, there is a lot of gang violence and there are some areas that are frequently in the news. Like any sane person I avoid the high incidence areas and areas around bars. I note the time of day. I was in a shopping enter when a gang shoot out occurred in San Diego in the middle of the afternoon. Shooters ran past within 6 feet. Had my wife and father in law with me. I quickly opened an elevator, took them to the top floor to an outside fire escape on the opposite side of the building. Took a circle route to our car and watched the rest of the action from our hotel room TV a mile away.

I am not afraid to go out but I avoid trouble and know where it is most likely to be. I have a nephew with a concealed carry permit. I suppose with his mouth he feels he needs it. A little self restraint would be cheaper and maybe as effective. I believe we would be safer with fewer guns in the hands of the people who believe they need them. The rest of us worry about cross fire. Every single country doesn't have the same per capita number of incidents as every other country. Zero isn't feasible but lower is better.

[-] -2 points by hchc (3297) from Tampa, FL 11 years ago

But we arent talking about cultural violence here, we are talking about freak violence. We are a VER?Y violent culture here, probably because we are spoiled and dont know better.

But there are freak incidents all over. Doesnt matter what the gun laws are. The most strict nations have terrorism. Doesnt matter.

All Im saying is we shouldnt jump all the way to gun control utopia. You want to do a better job registering them? Fine. I dont think it will matter but knock yourself out.

All Im saying is that if someone was armed in that theater and took him out, he would currently be a hero. But like I said earlier, 20/20 is what hindsight is all about.

You would have to be a really bad shot, or really inexperienced to miss a target like that.

These incidents where there is senseless killing happen so rarely that it almost doesnt make sense to try to think of what we could do to prevent them, short of an all out prison state.

prove what? more importantly, why? I owe you something?

oh, right. ows cretins think everyone owes them something. how could I forget?

I believe what? you know about my TV habits? "Prove it." (haha! like that?)

when bowling for columbine came out, I decided not to see it because I didn't want to support the kind of scumbag who would, for instance, try to make a partisan political point over a mass shooting. then, when the giffords shooting happened and this asshole DID try to make a partisan political point over a mass shooting, I was vindicated.

let me guess...you loved it. it's like porn to you, right? no person is ever responsible for shooting, it was the gun that jumped in their hand and make them insane and shoot people.

is that the best you can do to admit "older" and "elderly" are different words with different meanings? ignore it? awwww...don't be scared. admitting you made a boo-boo won't cause one.

the DNC voted for the war, too. I know that's painful to you, but it is reality and as much as you'd like to avoid the reality that makes you sad, it's still reality. time to face it, toots.

HRC raised the specter of presidential assassination during the DNC primary 4 years ago. nope, no fearmongering there!

when will you grow up and realize there is so very little you can say about one party that doesn't apply to both? seriously, you have to seriously consider growing up and stop being such a sucker cheerleader for the DNC. they are every bit as horrible and the DNC.

"grow up"? "apply to both" you can say what you like. That don't make it true.

really, that is some intellect you have there. it's simply stunning. you can't even get that pointy head of yours around the fact that I detest both parties. I doubt you can even understand such a concept, you're such a binary DNC lackey.
