At least 3 men accused of making threats during or after watching the new Batman movie have been arrested in separate incidents, underscoring moviegoers' anxieties and heightened security in the wake of a deadly mass shooting at a Colorado theater showing the film.

A Maine man was arrested when he told authorities that he was on his way to shoot a former employer a day after watching "The Dark Knight Rises," Maine state police said Monday.

Timothy Courtois of Biddeford, Maine, had been stopped for speeding, and a police search of his car found an AK-47 assault weapon, four handguns, ammunition and news clippings about the mass shooting that left 12 people dead early Friday, authorities said.

"unrelated"...really?

How very freaking odd that there would be a number of copycats with arsenals at this level?

“arsenals?”

You’re implying a false flag conspiracy, yet you use the supposed conspirator’s preferred “Scare word?”

We got a word for that kinda odd in English, it’s called ‘suspicious ‘.

Yes, because if the conspiracy is not false...

...then the regime has provided to their ‘home grown terrorists’ what they think to be arsenals of weapons.

And yes, I am beginning to think this may be regime instigated. They want home grown terrorists so bad they can taste it.

Fast and Furious didn't pan out for them, so now a chance to use plan B? Blame the movies, blame entertainment...blame the Tea Party? Progressive poop, being thrown against the wall of societal culture and all the while screaming for more gun control.

Of course there doesn't have to be a vast leftwing conspiracy for a few kids, trained in government schools that the USA is "killing the planet, ruled by a rich white kleptocracy," who have access to 3 or more small arms to be caught up in the Kardashiankiller-like media glamour and decide that they want to copy cat some idiot.

35,000 Americans commit suicide every year. 1000/day. You don't think there are some percentage of those who are just waiting for some "cool way" to go out?

Explains to me why the Colorado idiot chickened out and gave up.

After he saw death up close and personal he didn't want to participate personally anymore.

They want home grown terrorists so bad they can taste it.

I totally agree. however, I don't think they need to arm specific, particular perps. They've been breeding them for decades in our schools.

They're just going to capitalize on the crisis.

I actually don't think the Admin actively concocted F&F either. I think they knew that lower level idiots were trying some stuff that would please their masters and Holder/Obama looked the other way. They sure as hell would've used the "crisis" to their advantage though. The conspiracy there is the coverup of what they knew and when they knew.

Courtois’s booking photo isn’t a kid.

52-year-old Clark Tabor

Michael William Borboa, 27

and of course there is Holmes.

What is a ‘kid’ to you? Anybody younger than you? I do get the whole ‘copycat’ thing, I do just think this is all very different.

I’ll wait for this movie to come out on DVD, and then I won’t watch it.

Yes yes and yes. I completely agree that the regime is doing everything in their power to keep this issue fresh in the minds of the American public with shoehorns and prybars keeping the painful door open on this saga. This is their opportunity to start a false issue.

I read a Clancy-esque book a few years ago about a CIA plot to use institutionalized psychotics to implement numerous government plans across a fake nation. They drugged or took away the drugs from numerous schizos and psychos in a DC mental facility, made them believe they were being tracked by people in this fake nation, flew them there, and had them perform numerous acts of terrorism on the citizenry to help the rogue government institute a dictatorship in the name of safety. This whole incident made me think of this book.

Also, does it seem odd to anyone how maligned the new Batman movie has become since Limbaugh announced that the creators of the Bane character are actual “right-wingers?” I think the MSM is using this incident to impugn the franchise.

Somehow I think the movie will do okay without your money.

The grosses over the weekend were $76M, $45M, $40M, a big drop from Friday to Saturday. At least some of that was from people staying away due to the terrorism.

True. I still think it was the third largest opening weekend ever. Only trailing the Avengers and the last Harry Potter. It will do fine over the Summer, and I think DVD/ Blu-Ray sales will be high. I’m sure they’ll also release some type of trilogy box set.

Why would anyone not look at the gubmunt as suspect. They have a proven track record!

The drop is because Friday includes $30 million of midnight opening showing from Thursday night, which because it was after midnight counts on Friday. Throw that out and you’ve got 46, 45 and 40 which is pretty consistent.

People with nothing to hide DON'T HIDE!

Read my whole post (costs two whole sentences.)

I didn’t say they didn’t have something to hide.
