    The cinema probably trolled people and had a showing of Batman and Robin.

    <bang> Sorry! Eh?

    EDIT @11:23 (explanaton: That Canadians would be polite enough to say "sorry" if they shot at each other...a joke regarding their stereotype).

    this isn't true, america have nearly 90 guns to every 100 people where as canada have just under 31 guns to every 100.

    here is the wiki page

    Was the killer a critic or a fan (bearing in mind what happened on rottentomatoes.com)?

    There is little to say about these acts of violence to be honest. Except maybe WHAT THE FVCK IS WRONG WITH THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA?

    Presumably tonights audiences across the States will be armed to the teeth.

    some more info
    The radio station said a figure in a gas mask had opened fire at the showing in a mall in the suburb of Aurora and set off a smoke or tear gas bomb. It said initial police estimates were of 30-40 injured.

    Some disgusting comments on this thread.

    12 people murdered and we're happy enough to be making jokes.

    Fcking pathetic display of double standards, we're all up in arms over a sectarian parade in Belfast, a kid who dies in an ambulance or couple on honeymoon who get murdered but it's grand to make jokes about the tragic murder victims here?

    Because they aren't Irish, because they are American ? If it's not that, then do please explain why you think it's OK to get a few cheaps laugh out of what must have been a terrifying end and such a sad event for the family.

    Genuinely horrified. Anyone who chirps up with 'lighten up' deserves nothing but comtempt. Pathetic.

    Lamb of jaysus what is wrong with some people, what a tragedy! Imagine going to the cinema to see a film with the possibility of never coming home again :(

    And on a side note I reckon the future of Irish comedy is in serious trouble given some of the comments on this thread :rolleyes:

    wasn't that the plot for the first one?

    and a baby? i know this will get slated but why would anyone bring a baby to a batman movie?

    I do hope whoever done it is caught and strung up by the balls though

    Instantly felt my heart drop reading that.

    Saddest thing I've read in a long time.

    Poor innocent baby :( did nothing to the world and had this awful end.

    The jokes here are absolutely sickening and vile

    Hope it's just some nutter(s) and not political/religious extremism.


    I really hope the baby story is inaccurate. I can't imagine a baby being allowed into a midnight screening of a movie.
