"FBI spokesman Jason Pack said it did not appear the incident was related to terrorism."
WTFFFFFFFFFF???
He had a gun and intended to kill many people, but it's not terrorism?
- i'm going to guess the agent's words were more precise. Think "terrorist organization"locustsloth
- sorry, spokesperson, not agentlocustsloth
- no, it's not. it's a lone gunman, premeditated murder.sine
- see Tea Party link below, that's an organization no?robotron3k

For all the people who will drop the inevitable "Guns don't kill people, people kill people" argument I have a proposition: We'll lock you in a closed room with a monkey who has a loaded assault rifle. If your willing to sit in the room with said armed monkey for four hours I will concede your point.
- is the room in Colorado?robotron3k
- can i throw my shit at the monkey?sine
- Thing is, criminals and madmen will never have a problem obtaining firearms illegally, normal people will.raf
- I have no problem with gun ownership, just with dumb ideas about gun ownershipTheBlueOne
- but it wasn't illegal arms that has been used in most of the killings, correct? They are legal firearms, bought legallyformed

The suspects name is James Holmes. I know what your thinking, that sure is a strange name for an Muslim. He's even a member of the Tea Party http://denverteaparty.ning.com/p…

"...The victims being treated there ranged in age from 3 months to 45, the hospital said..."

- First thing I thought that it was sad that a 3mos old got shot. But yes, the bad parenting must be the problemTheBlueOne
- I heard the child was fine and released, at the same time, but I getchaformed
- a 3 month old sleeps . . . alot . . . and through anything . . . thunderstorms, a bowling alley, and a movietimeless

So messed up. Glad Colorado has the death penalty still.
- Clearly the DP doesn't work as a deterrent. And justice and revenge aren't the same thing.i_monk
- Doesn't need to be a deterrent. Just needs to be in place for these fuckers who don't deserve to liveiheartfun
- Partially agree, until you see how much we all have to pay for itformed
- They do have the DP? Good, so this guy can sit in prison for the next 50 years.CygnusZero4
- Sorry to inform you, but the death penalty does NOT deter murder.utopian
- Sorry to inform you, but the correctional system does not reform criminals.melq

I don't know when I started being extremely cynical,
but I often hate myself for it,
my prayers go to the families who have lost someone,
fuck- it's just easier to be cynical about stuff. pushing away emotion protects oneself from harmlocustsloth
- < an analysis not an endorsement of the attitude. Glad you've recognized a need for a changelocustsloth
- Personally I rather stay like I am, or I'll always be down, things like this happen a lot more for some of us...GeorgesII
- and not caring is the only way I can honestly keep my edge, when I used to care I was always depressed,GeorgesII

colorado and their shootings—my first thought.
- benfal990
what is sad also is the fact that we see similar events so often that many people are being desensibilized about it. we are overflowed with images and news all the time... that make all of those images and news less important.
Its like a gold nugget in an ocean of rocks versus the same nugget on the floor of an empty room.

Things like this make me hate one very simple thing: we've seen them before. You can't help but feel numb to emotion about things like this. Think about the first tragic thing you saw in your life that wasn't directly related to you. I'm guessing for many of us it was the Challenger explosion in 1986. Add on everything awful that's happened in the world since then. I don't know if its cynicism like GeorgesII said above, but horrible things like this, I don't know why my mind thinks "doesn't surprise me" as opposed to instant sympathy and emotion. I don't know... I just think that with all the access we have to information, it becomes more instantly known when people do horrible things with tragic results. My heart totally goes out to these people and their families. Just sitting there watching a movie and then all hell breaks loose.

Did you guys hear about that old man that just decided to mow down all those pedestrians a few years back and then that guy who ran over all those bicyclists last year or so during a race, both with a car?
So, because of the irresponsible actions of these drivers, all vehicles should be destroyed and made illegal.
- you that idiotic? cars are designed to transport people. guns are designed to kill people.inteliboy
- cars kill more than guns, so by your logic, cars are more dangerousalbums
- i believe in rights not keyboard jockeys who do nothing outside of type opinionalbums
- Your logic doens't follow. Beacuse cars have a very useful purpose: transport. Guns don't have any other use other than harming thingsBaskerviIle
- iam with inteliboybenfal99
- Let's totally ignore the fact that they were shitface drunk.cotton
- Yes. Ban cars. Ban the fuck out of them. Seriously.CanHasQBN
- it would help with obesity in America quite a bit. I say ban cars.Aceone

"So messed up. Glad Colorado has the death penalty still."
What use is it? If you go pout to do this sort of thing then you're prepared to be shot that day yourself.
Permanent suicide watch so they have to stew on their actions for the rest of their life is way better than death penalties.

"that guy who ran over all those bicyclists last year or so during a race, both with a car?"
It wasn't during a race, it was during a protest where cyclists purposely fill the entire street and ride painstakingly slowly. Acting like a bunch of douche bags entirely on purpose.- http://www.smh.com.a…albums
- not this again. cars suck.pizzafire
- Those "douche bags" had just as much right to the road as the asshole in the car.i_monk
- Then they should keep up with the flow of traffic or move. I do in my 71 VW Bus. I dont do 55 in the fast lanelemmy_k
- the flow of traffic in that location at that time was bicycle speed. the car should follow the flow of traffic. moron.CanHasQBN
