When I saw this story on the news last night, my heart almost stopped because I thought that this had happened at the Century 16 theatres on 33rd south and state because both theatres look almost identical. The news story just freaked me out. Even though computer graphics of the suspect were used, it still painted a chilling portrait of the incident. I think that I would be suspicious too, or suspect that something was up if I noticed someone getting up right after the opening credits, and taking a call on their cell phone, and then abruptly excusing "themselves" through an emergency exit door. That to me alone, would warrant trouble. Besides, if I'm not mistaken those doors usually trigger the sound of an alarm going off when they are opened. Apparently however, this James Holmes guy was able to figure out how to "disable" the alarm from going off. The image of him "suiting up" in protective gear in the parking lot near his car, is chilling. I can just see him walking back toward the theatre like a killer on the rampage. I can see him throwing those canisters of smoke open, and then just firing his gun into the unsuspecting crowd. The following must have been worse and much more horrific that any movie maker let alone anyone else (including myself) could imagine or much less fathom. This hits too close to home because even though Century 16 beefed up security, it still is very little consolation at this point because going to see movies is supposed to be fun and an enjoyable experience. People shouldn't have to subjected to that kind of violent carnage (except on the big screen, maybe). People didn't used to have to worry about things like this. People shouldn't have to worry about going out and doing things, or going places. No psychotic brain dead idiot should be allowed to ruin it for the rest of us.

I'm not condoning such a horrible hainious act however.if we respected ourselves and others high school or otherwise the senario of columbine and this theatre tragity might be avoided. In the long run evrey inapropriate coment save it be business Oriented when a person has to be very strong Headed and patient. Kent Orullian

Re: the theater shooting in Colorado today - Yes "it is tough and it is horrible - but it is isolated" - and we need to talk with our children and tell them these things, as stated by the Governor of Colorado. Kudos and a great and swift 10-4 to your statement, Governor Hickenlooper. But I just wanted to point out upon this tragic day, that to "talk with our children" would include disclosures of eternal and spiritual laws, or we are not talking with our children. The removal of The Bible from public schools in 1962 and the now illegality of the mention of The Lord is continuing to grow not only monsters but also a magnanimously disadvantaged world society and inappropriately normalized culture. There is a very compounded and now multi-generational void of knowledge pertaining to these spiritual laws and guidelines, especially since 1962.
