By denying citizens the right to self defense the
theater is guarranteeing their safety. I expect
to see some pretty hefty law suits come out of this.
It’s like going to city hall, there should be gun check
in the entrance. Why should I have to be defenseless
between my vehicle and the building.
Part of the answer may lie within the theme of the movie itself. This attack was patterned on the kind of assault that the antagonist, ‘Bane’, would direct at the ‘moneyed class’ in fictional Gotham City. Somehow, the theater goers are supposed to represent the 1%, and the guy in the mask is showing up to exact vengeance.
The ‘Bane’ in the movie was more on the order of the ‘Occupy Wall Street’ types, and their spinoff groups. Bruce Wayne/Batman came across as Mitt Romney. Perhaps the assault on the theater viewers was partly because the movie did not play on the obvious pun of ‘Bane’ and ‘Bain Capital’, because here, ‘Bane’ could in no way be confused with the operation of ‘Bain Capital’.
It was definitely not a ‘right-wing terrorist’ that expressed his rant so dramatically. But the possibility it was an ‘Occupy Wall Street’ sympathizer cannot be easily dismissed, as this is the sort of tactics they would employ, whether it be in a movie theater, a bus stop, a restaurant, or even out on a noon lunch hour rush in a business section of town.
Why was a graduate student (obviously not the best paying profession on the planet) able to accumulate what had to be several thousands of dollars’ worth of assault gear and high-powered ammunition?
To quote that famous American statesman, Barack Hussein Obama, ‘If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help.’
I would say James Holmes was highly successful in his most recent endeavour.
But of course, nobody will follow the money. That would destroy the narrative.
