I'll just guess...
Virginia Tech, Aurora etc, some laid on top of people laying on the floor to shield them from bullets, that didn't do anything to stop the shooter shooting others
Some at VT tried to fight back against the shooter, they were unsuccessful, but tried to protect more than the one person the others covered, by stopping the threat.
Jumping on a grenade (assuming there's only one grenade, which it may or may not be) may not stop the grenade thrower, though it attempts to minimize shrapnel which can harm many people.... still doesn't stop the thrower.
Jumping on a person to shield them is less predictive of harm than jumping on a grenade though,
Don't make me think ... it's the weekend.

Re: Gunfire during Dark Night Rises
I suspect that as that former Californian Democrat "new gun owner's" THC level drops, his reality will become more realistic and less experimental, theoretical and the time he does will be perceived in a different manner than his Temporal Illusions.

Re: Gunfire during Dark Night Rises
Sadly, I imagine the odd facial expressions he had in court ... were him mentally attempting to change the past.

Seriously
Temporal Illusion - The Butterfly Effect
http://www.businessweek.com/news/2012-0 ... as-student" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
During science camp at a community college in San Diego six years ago, Holmes focused on temporal illusion, a distortion in perception that he described as “an illusion that allows you to change the past,” according to a video of a presentation released yesterday by ABC News.
The Butterfly Effect (movie Sci-Fi 2004)
He finds he has the ability to travel back in time to inhabit his former self and change the present.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Butterfly_Effect" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
That's science you pay for with taxes, so lets see if his experiment works; if he can change the past after execution ...Last year, Holmes was one of a half-dozen students admitted to the neuroscience graduate program on the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, which focuses on the workings of the brain with an emphasis “on processing of information, behavior, learning and memory,” according to a statement from the school.
‘Significant Contributions’
Holmes, along with five other students, had his research funded by a National Institutes of Health grant aimed at training “outstanding neuroscientists and academicians who will make significant contributions to neurobiology,” the school said.
Holmes was paid a stipend of $26,000 a year under the grant

Re: Gunfire during Dark Night Rises
Was it "Logans Run" or "Soylent Green" where the right to exist was restricted to those under 30? Then, they recycle.dcfis wrote:I like it, but, NO PROFESSIONAL ANYWHERE would do this.
"What if the right to, buy, own and possess a gun was restricted to those men who are at least 25, unless they received a yearly clean bill of mental health from a licensed psychiatrist. And it would be illegal to sell a gun to a male unless they were 25 or possessed a clean bill of mental health card from a licensed psychiatrist. "
Go Green !!!!
Brings new meaning to ....."We had relatives for Thanksgiving dinner."

Please tell all your Producers and Anchors to stop using this term. It is incorrect and plays into the LEFT's Agenda!
The rifle he used was a semi-automatic Armalite Rifle (AR) - Not Assault!
FYI an Assault Rifle is a SELECT FIRE (or full auto) Rifle. NOT a semi-automatic. Big difference and your Anchors sound pretty foolish using this inaccurate term.

And on one national news station ..that rifle and the Glock both can have an "extended clip" used in them.philip964 wrote:From one of the articles:
"The suspect was in possession of a clip with more than 20 rounds, a federal official said, that would have been illegal under an assault rifle ban that expired in 2004. "
Its going to start.

Re: Gunfire during Dark Night Rises
Well, they both have one of those handle things you hold to yank the trigger dealie and those curvey bullet holders and probably the same color so .. oh and I hear they both can use one of those military sling thingys like the meanest assault rifles use...AEA wrote:What amazes me is that the Chief of Police of the City does not know the difference between an AR15 Semi-Auto Carbine and a M16 Select Fire Assault Rifle!

Re: Gunfire during Dark Night Rises
Yep, and a "noise" came from his apartment last night which should have gotten a complaint for police to investigate there ... diverting resources away from the theater so he'd have more time.Songbird wrote:Wow! This guy was prepared. Per the Police Chief at press conference: He was wearing a ballistic helmet, tactical vest, tactical leggings, groin protector, and throat protector. Not too many places for anyone to get a clear shot. The police chief said they were there within a minute and a half after they received notification of the incident. Still don't understand though why the guy ran amuck for 15 minutes before there was a 911 call made.
