It's a shame that people take the lives of innocent people who mean no harm to others. Some of these I'm sure are teenagers and young adults being that Batman was being released this morning.

Geographically, that mall is a fairly short distance from Littleton, CO and Columbine HS - for such nice suburban areas - those areas sure have experienced more than their share of tragedies. Prayers out for families. I've been to both locations, albeit some time ago, damn.

Just does not appear to be enough sheepdogs left in America.

We need more citizens like Samuel Williams, 71, from Ocala. Remember the patron of the internet cafe that defended himself, and other innocents, against armed robbers.
IMO, it won't be long before the left politicizes this tragedy.

And what's a shame is that it is illegal in NC for a CCW to be carried into in a movie theater as you cannot carry due to having to pay to get in.
SUCKS!

This senseless violence perpetrated on innocent people just makes my blood boil.  I hope Mr. Holmes receives the death penalty for the lives he took. As a Christian, I am obliged to forgive him (easier for me to say as an observer), but may he be punished to the fullest extent of the law. Now, if someone in the theatre had been packing, this might have ended much quicker.... 
My thoughts and prayers go out to all affected by this tragedy...

The youngest victim was 3 months old. My God how sad. Prayers to these families and LEOs and other 1st responders that have this memory to deal with for the rest of their lives.
On another note - Sheeple, wake up! As long as you keep disarming the sheepdogs, the wolves will have open season.

Amen. That is exactly what these scumbags/terrorists like Mr. Holmes want...to go into a room full of innocent, unarmed people and open fire, knowing that they will likely cause a lot of death and suffering. They know they don't stand a chance against a heavily armed SWAT team or even regular Law Enforcement. Even someone who has a conceal and carry would jeopardize their plans...
