    Reports are saying 2 confirmed dead. This society is a joke.

    What else can you say at this point. These kind of incident has made us desensitized as a whole. Sad.

    The press won't do it, but I hope they supress his name.

    It's sad when it's starting to get predictable what race certain crimes are in America.

    Maybe it's because of the quiet and the dark. Possibly easy access. Idk. All I know is I get scared when I go to movies on premiere nights. Sit in the middle. Never sit by the doors. Or sit near the back doors. And always be alert and aware. It's a shame that people can't even be safe in a theater. A place for entertainment.


    Don't want to pull a race card, but if this guy is white, he'll likely be called mentally unstable and end up in a mental hospital. Any other color, the guys in jail. Hell if he happens to be Muslim, they'll give him the death sentence. I love America because it's better than my home country. But I hate the media and perspective of these people. It's disgusting. A country that prides itself on treating everyone equally treats everyone in terrible manners. Hope whoever did it gets locked in PRISON. For a very long time. Take a life, we take yours (as in prison for life). Only fair way to see it.

    Yeah, back in the '60s, shooters went into theaters as a safe haven in which to hide.

    But then again, 150 years ago, shooters went into theaters to kill people, too. Maybe it's cyclical.
