    I can't watch the news coverage of incidents like this beyond the initial coverage anymore since so much crap gets pumped out in a vain attempt to fill airtime. I was just looking at an ABC new story on it and had this at the start -

    Editor's Note: An earlier ABC News broadcast report suggested that a Jim Holmes of a Colorado Tea Party organization might be the suspect, but that report was incorrect. ABC News and Brian Ross apologize for the mistake, and for disseminating that information before it was properly vetted.

    R.I.P. to the victims.
    Reasonings simple, last couple of years it's try to tie mass killers or violence to Tea Partiers like the guy who flew his plane into the IRS building or blame Sarah Palin for the Gifford shooting. It's the latest in smear tactics.

    I just saw a video about Jessica Redfield on MSNBC and I can't help but feeling really depressed. After all the good things she had done and telling us how precious life is after witnessing the previous shooting scene, I can't believe bad things can still happen to good people. Before she died, her last message to her mother was that she was sorry.....

    They all want to be the first to air new details, even if it's just a speculation. Release lots of stuff, once in a while a correct statement may be found within.

    I had to turn the TV off. How quickly this has become a forum for gun control is sickening.

    What I would like to know is how many, or what kind of Psych meds he was on. Seems like every time a massacre like this happens, the shooter ends being a nutjob who stopped taking his happy pills.

    Any time there is a high profile shooting you have those calls, since the 1960's shouldnt really surprise anyone.

    I empathise with the family on the anxiety they must feel now, but WTF?!?!?! It's a midnight showing! Why are you bringing a 3 month old to that? Selfish parent/s.

    When these kinds of things happen, we try to look for some kind of logic behind it, even when there isn't any.

    Probably lacked a babysitter. Regardless, it's a non issue.

    I think bringing a toddler to a midnight showing is a minor offense, compered to shooting 60-70 people. Seems a little unnecessary and cruel to start blaming these parents in the light of this event.

    The logis is someone missirable SOB should have eaten a bullet, instead of taking so many upstanding citizens with him, but sensationalist media isn't interested in providing sober and usefull information and ends up glamourizing the sh!t out of this POS and inspiring other no life fcuk ups.
