Linke is a dead end.
I'm not too surprised... It's 3 years old, and it seems like a lot of news places have links that expire after a while now.
As you may have noticed, I like to keep everything in one thread. Sorry, its an old habit from long ago when moderators wanted it that way, probably had something to do with computer memory.

Plus every story has a beginning and an end, seems neater to keep it all together.

Re: Gunfire during Dark Night Rises

Well how many of you all ready suspected this would happen.

Yeah, a charity was set up to collect donations for all the victims of the Aurora Movie Theater Shooting. Yeah lots of people sent money, 5 million dollars in fact. The first gifts from this charity were to 100 non profits in the Denver area. So the victims went public and so another $375,000 was sent to a specific victim's aid charity. They then have given $5000 to a number of shooting victims.

No victims or their families are even on the board of the charity that was set up.

Re: Gunfire during Dark Night Rises

James Holmes' psychiatrist spoke to University police about him weeks before shooting. Broke patient confidentiality, she was that concerned.

University has a threat assessment team in place to stop Virginia Tech type killings. His psychiatrist was a member of that team. She notified the team about James Holmes, but when he dropped out of school. He was no longer their problem and no action was taken.

The AMC at Dunvale near Westheimer in Houston, has the sign stenciled on the doors near the bottom of the door in big letters. I have never compared the writing to see if it is the updated wording, but it looks legit enough. There are fifty front doors, but since it is printed on one of them that seems OK too.
They have either removed the picture you're referring to or you got your links mixed up.
Don't know if I have a picture of the sign at Dunvale.

But the link is to the request to for a link to the story of no off duty police security at the theater where the shootings occured, but off duty police security at other Cinemark theaters at the same showing.

In other news James Holmes was within 30 days of being evicted, since his apartment was students only, and he had quit.

The theater chain (Cinemark) normally has armed security (off duty police) on Friday and Saturday nights at this theater. Since this was a late Thursday night/ early Friday morning showing the police were not there. Certainly if police are normally needed on Friday and Saturday night, they would be needed for this special showing. In fact at a number of Cinemark theaters doing the same Batman midnight showing off duty police were present to handle problems with the large crowds that were expected. But for some reason not at this particular theater.

I know that my local AMC theater normally has 4 to 5 policeman in uniform, when I am there. Going to the movie theater is not the polite genteel thing it once was. Course I remember in the early '60's some movie was playing and it seemed to cause teens to vandalize the stores and businesses nearby after they saw it. Rebel without a Cause or something like that.

You know if your going to ban concealed weapons from your business, the least you can do is provide police on site for protection.

Installing metal detectors (which wouldn't have helped in Aurora) that has been mentioned is going to make me really stay away from movie theaters. And I am one of their best customers.

AMC bans guns with a real legal sign, so I haven't been to the theater since the shooting.
Where did you see that there were no police at the theater? I have only heard and seen that there were officers on site because of the Batman opening.

AMC thinks they ban guns here in Texas. The only signs I've seen are 30.06 signs printed on 8.5x11 sheets of paper down in the lower corners of one or two of their windows away from the doors. Has anyone seen a proper 30.06 sign at an AMC theater?

Re: Gunfire during Dark Night Rises

In case you had any doubts, the shooter was seeing a psychiatrist who specializes in Schizophrenia.

I assume she will be sued.

So do you become a psychiatrist, and risk that every patient you see, will go and do something "crazy" and you will be blamed?

Re: Gunfire during Dark Night Rises

Per those regulations, he broke the law when he fired the gun because he was not a police officer or at a shooting range.

In addition, he broke the law when he carried a loaded gun in his car to the movie theater. That is unless he loaded the guns when he went out the back door to get them.

He now doesn't know why he is in jail. He is suffering a memory loss. He also has complained about the food.

Re: Gunfire during Dark Night Rises

The shooter was getting a federal grant to study, so the government provided the money for him to buy the guns.

Temporal Illusion - The Butterfly Effect

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.

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
That's science you pay for with taxes, so lets see if his experiment works; if he can change the past after execution ...

Great post. I needed some alternative reality this morning.
