Aurora shooting victims: Heroism and heartbreak as last moments revealed
(Some of the victims & the injured profiled)
:( The good die young. Bless the memory of those young men.
"Accused madman"? What, is "madman" a new criminal charge? "We find the defendant guilty of first-degree madman, Your Honor."
This is in direct contrast to the guy who bailed, leaving his girlfriend and two kids alone in the theater. He even drove away from the theater in his car, only driving back to get them when the “coast was clear.”
Let’s hope it’s true, and this isn’t just an effort to manufacture a theme..
But Cinemark has a Zero Gun Policy at ALL its theaters. Which even yesterday they were still defending. So even people who could legally carry in CO, COULDN'T in their theater!
So the NUTCASE Holmes knew he had a Target Rich Environment. I'd expect Billions of dollars in Lawsuits against Cinemark. Hopefully enough to put them out of business as the blood is also on their hands for their 'Gun Free Zone' policy.
Many survivors will face long term medical issues and permanent injuries. We haven’t heard details of all of the most critically wounded. No, I do hold it against the President when he visits. It is the right thing to do.
Putting themselves in danger to protect others. Not a bad definition of valor. Well done guys. Truly, rest in peace.
The polls in Colorado between Romney and B. Hussein Obama are very tight. By Democrat James Holmes (D-Aurora) taking out these three Republicans, it could give Obama this swing State (remember, Democrat James Holmes (D-Aurora) can still vote this November).
Love expresses itself in sometimes the darkest of moments.
That’s one of the roles of men, protecting women, not sending them off to war or in a squad car.
“He always wanted to be a superhero, he’s wanting to save someone or do something greater” (From the article at the link)
“That is, the young sheepdogs yearn for a righteous battle.” and “Still, the sheepdog disturbs the sheep”. (From the article at this link http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2908964/posts (”I Only Hang With Sheepdogs”, referencing “On Sheep, Sheepdogs, and Wolves”))
’d say the lessons learned are:
1) Make sure your CC (concealed carry) weapons have a well adjusted laser.
2) Target practice like crazy, practicing shooting while diving, running, jumping out of helicopters and repelling down walls if possible
3) save lives first then worry about CC restriction laws later
Several people doing 1, 2 and 3 in the theater might not have helped anything but it could have evened the odds when his AK jammed.
When we read yesterday about the cowardly Jamie Rohrs--the punk who abandoned his girlfriend, their baby, and her little daughter--many people noted that this young couple's behavior was disturbing evidence of the breakdown of the family in a me-centered generation.
So, sadly, is Jon Blunk's story. The girlfriend he rescued already has two little kids "from a previous relationship," and she thrust her affections (and her phone number) on the still-married Jon Blunk, who had left behind his wife and two small kids in another state. He was unquestionably a hero for saving his new girlfriend's life in that theater, but I doubt his small son and daughter will display this article proudly to their friends later on in life.
