American - Denver Members

As a proud Canadian with friends in the great country of United States. My condolences go out to the families of the victim's in Denver today.

Such a terrible thing that happened man. The guy was 24...what would make someone do that?

Those in favor or censorship would say it's violence on TV and in movies....

I say the guy was a nut job, and he needs to be locked up.... Get him out of the gene pool!

i say torture him and lock him away and throw away the key

I'm not one to normally express my opinions but hearing that little children were involved makes me irate. I hope colorado is a death penalty state. That man has no meaningful purpose or contribution to give to society. Keeping him alive would be a waste of time, money and air space. Not to mention a slap to the faces of the families that lost loved ones who just wanted to watch a movie.

+1 .... Well Said Sir!

Deepest sympathies go out to the families. I volunteer for an organization that deals with mental health and addiction, and while it's understandable to have strong feelings about the perpetrator here, don't forget, he may be a victim as well. Does not justify his actions, does not forgive what he did, but IF something, or things drove him to this, the only real solution is to make systems of support available to people, so that it does not happen again.

Putting to death the ONE person who commited this act is 'justice', but it leaves 3 million other people that *might* break down and commit similar atrocities. Stalin, Mussolinni, Hitler....finishing all them off, didn't help us not end up with a Hussein, an Assad, etc, etc, etc.

It's not a societal thing, or a national thing...it's a human race thing...just my two cents.

Well, I was gonna come in here with some smartass remark. The morsel of maturity in my head says it be best to keep my
outh shut.

I was stuck in a car driving all day so I wasn't listening to the news. I haven't read into the story.

I can only offer condolences to those affected by this tragedy.

Not sure if everybody has heard this side story to the incident but I find this almost unbelieveable.

Last month in Toronto Ontario, we had a shooting at a downtown mall, The Eaton Centre in the middle of a busy food court. The shooting was perpetrated by waring gang members. Two people were killed and a number of innocent victims were injured. It was a big story here as it was very brazen for the perpatrator to do this in broad daylight on a weekend in a busy mall. Personally, when it happened I was driving out of downtown Toronto with my family after attending a hockey tournament.

As it turns out, a young beautiful American girl was in the Eaton Centre in Toronto during the incident and luckily escaped unharmed. Sadly, she was one of the victims yesterday at the movie theatre in Denver. She was originally from Texas, dating a Toronto hockey player and had travelled to Denver to pursue a career in sportscasting.

I JUST heard about that!! Either this is all eerily related, or Final Destination factor is in play. Incredible co-incidence.

Myself and all my co-workers agreed to torture him and make him suffer as he families will/have been. Then just send him into space and let the stars deal with him.

Aside from the sickness in his mentally challenged mind, i noticed it was a midnight showing on Thursday night, and i read there was a 11 month old in the theater, two 7 year olds and an 11 year old. Just makes me realize how many insignificant parents there are out there in the first place to not have the common courtesy to keep you damn young kids at home and get a baby sitter sometime later and go see the movie. Its sad what the world has come to.

I heard about that, its just awful. who would do something like that?
