President Obama’s appropriate speech mentioned his daughters’ love of movies, and he asked what if they had been in that situation. The answer is important: there would have been armed secret servicemen present who would have dropped the gunman quickly, avoiding the carnage that, in fact, happened.

Hasn’t the Joker’s hair been green since he was introduced?

So is this the storyline, now, Batman and Joker, rather than the probability that he was a member of OWS?

Ph.D student in sciences and a silly comic book fan. Cultural infantilism on the rise!

Painted his hair red to look like the Joker?

Color blind?

A perfect example of the liberal kneejerk reaction to appeal to emotion instead of to reality.

“oh! how terrible! it could have been MY daughters in there!”

And the reality of it is that some armed individuals in the theater could have put a stop to it. Though it may have been difficult, even for secret service guys, since the gunman was “armored up”.

'It clearly looks like a deranged individual,' Kelly said of the shooter at a news conference, CBS reported. 'He had his hair painted red. He said he was "The Joker", obviously the enemy of Batman.'

On another thread, we learned that he studied mental illness:

In my opinion, something is not (or is depending on how you look at it)- adding up.

Some "deranged" guy dressed as the joker just happens to be wearing body armor and has sophisticated booby-traps in his apartment? I don't think so. I think he just knows how to appear deranged.

The President is almost immediately called in about this, now we have the renewed cry for gun control, not to mention the "blame Bush" crowd?

I'm not buying it. The guy is a plant. He'll get off (and paid off) on an insanity defense.

I have a feeling we’ll find out this guy has never had a girlfriend nor any kind of relationship with a woman.

Isn’t it amazing how often normal, healthy relationships with the opposite sex lead to normal healthy people. Almost as though it was intended that way.

Can’t be. Some Freepers are assuring others not so wise that this movie had nothing to do it, and he just happened to show up there. Seriesly.

Sounds like the perp is a CRAZY, just as in the Tucson shooting. NOT a “right-wing Tea-Party terrorist”, as some have been trying to spin both incidents!!!

Both incidents are NOT for the President to handle, but for local authorities.

May the Memory of all those who died in this incident be Eternal, and may our Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ comfort their loved ones and also the survivors!!! May He send healing to those who are fighting for their lives or have been otherwise injured!

On one hand I want so badly to say you're jumping to a conclusion but on the other I must realize that such an even was predicted or suspected would happen by many who know how Obama works including myself.

How can I say you're jumping to a conclusion when I was one who also suspected Obama may try to create such havoc as this before the election?

If he can carry out Fast & Furious he can do this.

All I can say is, you have a good point.

More likely if he shouted “Allahu Akbar!” while shooting people. (Did they say if he did?)

“Painted his hair Red” would be more like Bozo The Clown than the Joker.

Ricky has had previous experience mass murdering American citizens before in Waco.
