Aurora was a set-up? An interesting theory.

I just found this in my wanderings...it does actually raise some interesting questions.

Thoughts?

Colorado Batman shooting shows obvious signs of being staged

Interesting read. My theory is still crazy people are crazy regardless of how long they may seem normal, trying to predict the behavior of a crazy person is near impossible. Sidenote: The gear and homemade explosives are obtainable and cost far less than $20,000.

As to the question of why did no one fight back? Because he rolled canisters of gas into a dark theater of unsuspecting movie goers and started shooting an assault rifle. Odds are no one had a weapon seeing as how (at least in new york, not sure if its a federal regulation or not) its pretty hard to obtain a carry permit for a firearm, and in the case of being an unarmed civilian versus a man with an assault rifle, I'd be dropping to the floor too.

Edit: Forgot to add that if multiple school shootings and other horrific killings committed with firearms hasn't persuaded congressmen and women to disarm the american public, I sincerely doubt a theater shooting would either (staged or not).

The theater was a "gun free zone," which means that even those with carry permits are not allowed to carry in that facility. Cinemark considers it a point of pride that their theaters are gun free zones.

Unless one of those law-abiding citizens was breaking the law, they were unarmed.

Just seemed like an odd question to pose in an article like that, ya know? Even with the conspiracy theory angle, knowing how people are when it comes to bank robberies and the sort, most will do as told and run when the shooting starts regardless of the proximity of the shooter.

Don't buy it. What sick person would stage this? More than likely the shooter was probably once an employee of the theater since he knew how to prop open the fire escape without the fire alarm going off. It's also been confirmed (I think) that the shooter was on some hard core meds which is probably why his attitude wasn't consistent.

Just because he was able to sneak guns into a "gun free zone" doesn't make it a conspiracy. If it was, why would the shooter exit the theater, get his guns and then come back when he could've just hid them within the theater?

First thing that popped into my mind was how that's like batman's history with his parents being killed at a movietheatre.

Things don't add up, when do they ever with a mass murderer?
Doesn't change the fact that HE shot those people and HE prepared for it and those people are gone now and hopefully sooon he will be too.

No other country in the world deems it necessary to advertise cinemas as 'gun free zones', let alone seeing it as a point of pride.

American weidos.

Not sure what you mean by "country." It's that business's choice to advertise itself as such and not a reflection of a country. But it seems that some people take any opportunity they can to put down the country of the US.

I do think it's time for the US to address its gun problems. Over 8,500 firearm murders in 2010 (compared with 39 in the UK, to put it in perspective).

I know it's seen as an individual right - but that pales in importance compared to the damage that's being done.

Yes, it will be hard - and will have to be done gradually so you don't end up with a situation where the only guns are in the hands of the bad guys (gradual tightening up on availability, usage, seizure, etc?).

I know there's the whole 'guns don't make crazy people' line - but quite frankly, that's bollocks. Take guns out of the equation and most crazy ppl won't have access to them.

Apparently it could be seriously tackled within a generation, but the problem is America doesn't want to. :/

I know this will be taken as an attack, and be hard to swallow - but it's time to stop making excuses, and deal with it.

The questions raised in that article aren't "interesting" they're ridiculous. Staged by the FBI? Sounds like paranoid schizophrenia.
The whole thing is senseless, and tragic.

This thread: a massive credibility fail for the OP.

Probably, it was just an effort at propaganda and the duty of a "loyal agent".

But ridiculous, nonetheless.

A really misleading perspective. Homicide is homicide, dead is dead.

List of countries by intentional homicide rate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

US Homicide Rate is 4 times that of UK (I think this is the statistic I was trying to reference in the other thread and got myself all confused at what I was talking about). That's the overall number, not broken out by race or anything else.

In average, Americans as a whole have 4 times higher chance of being murdered in a given year than someone in the UK (not 217 times as per your statistic).

If you break that statistic out by race, the gap closes a lot more...

Nevertheless, so many millions of helpless persons have been murdered by the likes of Mao after the right to bear firearms has been taken away.
The UN has a BIG MOUTH on the subject and I say fuck them and the camel they rode in on

Oh Jeeze.

As I've posted elsewhere, this the insane garbage my wacko (Waco?) Texas brother-in-law believes, holed up in his cabin in the woods, sitting on his stockpile of guns.

The people who buy this crap are exactly the ones who are arming themselves to the teeth, chomping at the bit for some final Armageddon showdown with the evil forces of government.

These people are paranoid believers in FBI mind control. I'd say, if anyone *needs* such an adjustment, it's them.

Why is it misleading?

Total homicides US = 13000 (UK 600)
Firearm homicides = 8700. (UK 39)

I think - even if people aren't convinced by the whole homicide argument - why not clamp down on them to reduce the 17000 or so accidental + suicide gun deaths?

Stricter rules on availability (age, felons, number and type of firearms etc), and also where they can be sold (and used?).
