At least 14 people have been killed in a shooting at a Batman film premiere in the US city of Denver, police say. About 50 people have been injured in the incident at the cinema complex in the suburb of Aurora.

Was the shooter wearing a mask with little bat ears or a gas mask?

That is so ridiculous. Colorado seems so safe from an outside perspective and from the times I've been there, but then you see this, and the Columbine incident as well and you realize that anything can happen anywhere. I read about a shooting in Toronto earlier too in Danzig. Very scary

the picture looks normal
It's not, that's a very awkward smile. All that is, is of a person who's trying to smile. He's lifting his eyebrows and making a smile, but his eyes aren't squinted like a real smile... Usually that's a recipe for a creepy/akward smile.
Raising preflop more than 10% is somewhat wild. 5% is average. Less than 3% is passive.

Picture is normal, if this incident never happened and then someone showed you his picture, you wouldn't think anything unusual about it. It's people like this killer that make we wish our country didn't have the death penalty but instead had some system where all the most dangerous criminals get dropped off by helicopter onto a secluded island where they have to fend for themselves. Then you can just have the navy patrol around the island ready to shoot down anyone that tries to escape by makeshift raft.

Preeety sure if the picture wasn't so blown up and you saw it in a year book or something you wouldn't think anything of it. If anything, I could understand someone saying that the guy is not photogenic, but "crazy" looking? I think that's an overstatement. He's actually a good looking fellow, despite the fact that he's an evil monster.

just wonder how did he get that stuff
Getting gun in North America is not that hard.
getting a gun in most states in north america requires having identification, being 18+, and not being a registered felon.
that's pretty much all it takes to get any weapon that isn't an automatic.
Here in Cali I can go to the corner and pick up a scratched small hand gun for $50-100. Something along the lines of an ak-47/AR-15 would obviously require a few phone calls and bit more money but still very doable.
As for the picture, just look at the eyes, don't even focus the on the face. Kid has the look of the guy who just killed 2people in their bedroom to steal their handgun to sell it to me for $50-100 on the corner.

explosives/tear gas is very easy to make at home with shit you can pick up at walmart, gas masks and bulletproof vests are solid with no background checks of even id needed in many stores that handle hunting/camping supplies

it's nothing to do with looking good or bad, it's just his expression seems kinda creepy/unnatural to me, basically what arirang described. i didn't mean that he looks literally certifiably insane from that one picture, just a v intense pose for a yearbook photo (or anything imo, really).
if it was 1 of like 30 pictures on a yearbook page it probably wouldn't stand out to me just glancing at it, but if someone pointed it out and said "look at that dude" and i focused on it i would think he looks kinda nutty, even without knowing about this incident.
not like i would think he's crazy enough to do something like this just from the photo, but more like i would think he's super high-strung and/or needs to get on/off some meds, etc. kind of crazy

I knew him for 3 years. He was a grade below me, in my soccer team, both in school and in a league outside of it. I know that he was a smart kid, since he took multiple college level courses before graduating. The main reason why this surprises me so much is that he was very soft spoken and I never really saw him angry. The vast majority of the time he was smiling from ear to ear. To be fair, I wasn't in touch with him after I graduated, but this is still a huge shock to me.

yeah, ppl said the same about the virginia tech shooter. Being shy and soft spoken leads to social isolation and it's usually the "loners" that do stuff like this.

sounds like the profile for a standard shy person or maybe an introvert, which is a fair amount of the human population. I fit that description quite well and i am no axe murderer.
I stand in judgement of the shooter because he didn't wear a batman costume or a bane mask.
He didn't even speak any words before he just started shooting.
Man was a coward and came to the theatre not even in a batman villain character despite planning the attack for months.
Dressed in full riot gear vs unarmed civilians that's just being scared.
He could of brought a microphone and introduced himself as Simon and made everyone do what Simon says and people would be confused they might think its all an act until he tells people get naked and they don't so he starts blazing.
He could of demanded orgy sex of the hostages. He had the power of a school teacher over children and he didn't even give any orders. He didn't have any training tho.
How you going to go to the theatre, get on stage, be too afraid to introduce yourself, but not afraid to mutha fuckin kill people?
Overall, I feel sorry for the shooter cause he just wasted a once in a life time opportunity to play the crowd.

what was that stone cold steve austin movie on the island where only 1 lives??? Collateral or something like that, now that would be a sick idea for death row dudes, hell guys, when I become prez of Somalia in the next 15-20 years, I might introduce that, it'll be Somalia's first gambling website lool
I dont really understand the body armor and riot gear if your just gonna surrender to the police anyways. The USA should really look at changing its gun laws. What do you really need to be able to by a fully auto AR-15 or AK47 even a hand gun. I think ppl should have the right to bear arms. But like they didnt have RPG's AK47 and AR-15s when they wrote that law and who knows maybe they were actually talking about bear arms. This whole even would have never had happened if they USA didnt have retarded laws and policy.
Besides Bear Arms are fucking awesome everyone should have access to bear arms
Its not as if anyone can own fully automatic weapons legally, you need to have a certain license and be living in a state in which its legal. For example, in Illinois its illegal to even own a fully automatic weapon, where in Missouri its legal with the proper license. In cases such as these, the shooter almost never has fully automatic weapons. From what I've heard his weapons were semi-auto.
If you want to argue about tightening up the gun laws, I'm sure you can make valid arguments. However, its not as if people are walking down the street with fully auto weapons, its VERY rare to even know someone that owns one.
I wonder what pushed this person so far... I don't know if gun laws are the main problem but they sure are easy to fix and would go a long way

Supposedly the kid is some sort of quasi-genius. I think a lot of this might be some sort of setup for an insanity defense. Kill a bunch of people, then inexplicably surrender without resisting, boobytrap your house but then tell them where all the traps are, dye your hair orange, show up to court and act like a fucking retard etc. The kid studied neuroscience, he's probably read all about psychology and behavioral mannerisms. It's all probably some elaborate show to represent a textbook case of insanity.
Although trying to kill 200 people does kinda make you insane.....

Fully automatic sucks balls. As far as i know this shit isnt used even in the army. Not enough ammo(gotta reload every time the trigger is pressed).
Lolwut no you don't need to do it every time the trigger is pressed.
Released only days before the shooting, Lil Wayne’s video “My Homies Still” features him and his boys sitting in a movie theater full of skeletons. Aside from this scarily prophetic scene, the video features many dismembered dummies, a symbol associated with Mind Control.

Id rather go to the cinema with James Holmes than with Lil Wayne and his homies
Automatic weapons/100-round magazines should either be illegal or should be given after strict checkups.
And yes, that WILL stop the majority of massacres (or lessen the number of killed drastically) and will make 0 difference for people who want guns for hunting and personal/home safety.

I'd love to see some numbers...
How many persons died by accident (childs playing with guns etc)
and how many lives were saved because someone had a gun in his house.
It's not the farwest anymore you know ...
your life is not in danger because you don't own a gun ...
bleh ... mentality will not change anyway ... why I bother ...

Isn't hunting easy enough with a rifle? Where's the sport in using automatic weaponry for hunting.
The general population doesn't need assault rilfes, leave that for the miliatary
I can't believe people get their panties in a bunch about te rights of civiliians to have deadly and mass killing weapons. tanks are illegal to own, why can't assault rifles.
It's easy to buy pot
It's not eaasy to buy illegal firearms
a 24 old white kid from aurora colorodo would probably have a tough time finding a guy who sells illegal guns
if this lunatic only had a pistol or a shotgun, 70 people wouldn't have been shot.
Genginho: lose today 100 dollar only because of fishs they called and had luck on river
Obviously making a law that Guns are illegal to own won't change the fact that people that really want to obtain a gun will eventually get one. But it does make it that much harder to find them. Canada has a Gun Registry where everyone has to go through a bunch of shit to be able to own a gun it hasn't stopped criminals from being able to obtain guns, but I don't know many 24yr old College Students in Vancouver that would have the connections to get a gun illegally.
Gun laws would probably be quite ineffective at reducing this type of gun violence. A person who's been driven this far over the edge is likely to get his weapons regardless. However it is correct to suggest it would be harder for them to do so and a bit more likely for them to get caught. Anything that makes it harder probably isn't a bad thing.
In general gun control laws reduce gun violence because weapons escalate already tense situations. It is statistically proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that carrying a weapon makes you more likely to be hurt as opposed to not having one. The illusion that they make you safer - is just that. People get tense and emotional, someone pulls a weapon and it escalates the situation x1000. If the other person also carries a weapon "for protection" now you have a potential shoot-out. Canadian boarder guards don't carry weapons for that reason. Police in Britain same thing. Possessing a weapon only escalates the potential for serious violence and doesn't make anyone safer. There are times when weapons are going to be necessary but reducing them as much as possible greatly reduces the amount of gun violence.
It's not to say a guy like this couldn't still get his weapons. He'd probably find away. Someone determined to do so will probably succeed eventually. It's just to say he'll be more likely to get caught, he'll have more trouble doing so, and other types of gun violence can be reduced with better laws.

because of the access to assault rifles crazy kids now are killing masses of people instead of doing it the old fashioned way and shooting themselves in the head.
this wont end until some gun control laws are passed. how many high powered guns does an ordinary citizen need anyway?
