This is the part that just baffles me:
There is nothing in this young man's past to show he had a propensity for this. Nothing. No rap sheet. Squeaky clean. In the Columbine tragedy, there were triggers. And those kids were on anti-depressents, which can backfire. In the case of Mr. Holmes, it's like his brain temporarily short-circuited. In my opinion, he is going to awake from this fog and be extremely remorseful and in shock he actually comitted these crimes. Just my take.
And while the probability of any of us experience what those poor patrons in Denver went through, it's only natural for a dialogue to develop about being pro-active going forward. Governor Christie argued the discussion is premature, let the families grieve. Mayor Bloomberg, obviously in a state of exasperation, called for the police to go on strike to expedite a paradigm shift in the current gun laws.
What's next? Metal detectors in theatres? From the theatre's legal liability standpoint, not entire impossible.
