July 22, 201214 yr Some websites are reporting that police are looking for a second person of interest after a phone call was made threatening violence if the suspect wasn't released. Google the name yeom pyo lee. The websites aren't saying the name but apparently it leaked somewhere.
July 22, 201214 yr Aurora police are saying reports of a person of interest are unconfirmed and inaccurate. Authorities also said the suspects AR15 jammed while he was shooting and he had to switch to another weapon.
July 22, 201214 yr The story of the parent leaving his 4 month old in the theatre is appalling. Wow. I haven't been following to closely. So the person I questioned early in thread, to why anyone would take a 4 month old in the 1st place, then abandoned the child during the crisis. That's just messed up. And then he tells the story to the media. How does someone like that get through a day? Unbelievable.
July 22, 201214 yr I don't have a problem with this. Maybe it's new parents that wanted to get out of the house, and infant is too young to leave with a sitter. At 3 months, the baby probably slept through the whole thing, or until the shooting began. Toddler age and up (impressionable ages) is when I would question it. How do you feel about it now, after we find out dear old dad runs out them?
July 22, 201214 yr How do you feel about it now, after we find out dear old dad runs out them? Of course the dad is a horrible parent. But not because he brought an infant to the movie, because he abandoned the infant.
July 22, 201214 yr Aurora police are saying reports of a person of interest are unconfirmed and inaccurate. Authorities also said the suspects AR15 jammed while he was shooting and he had to switch to another weapon. Let me ask your opinion to all and specifically HB20, do you think this type of information should be released. I read that, and see that as a note to any person who plans something else like this to make sure your weapons don't jam or use a different weapon. By that I mean, were almost by releasing this info, giving a how to book on what to do. How is the information that the gun jammed, relevant to the general public.
July 22, 201214 yr Of course the dad is a horrible parent. But not because he brought an infant to the movie, because he abandoned the infant. I disagree. I have four kids. I would have never even considered taking any of them at a young age out at midnight. There were times when we wanted to do something, but couldn't get a sitter. We simply just didn't go if that was the case. Especially if it was primarily an adult function. Sacrifices people...
July 22, 201214 yr Congressman from TX: "People say ... where was God in all of this?" Gohmert said. "We've threatened high school graduation participations, if they use God's name, they're going to be jailed ... I mean that kind of stuff. Where was God? What have we done with God? We don't want him around. I kind of like his protective hand being present." Louie Gohmert: Aurora Shootings Result Of 'Ongoing Attacks On Judeo-Christian Beliefs' So is he saying all of the dead are sinners who didn't want God around? This is who we are sending to DC. You are the undisputed king of putting words in someone's mouth.

I have 5 kids. When we had only one, and she was an infant and no other children of impressionable ages, we sometimes took her with us to the movie. Sometimes even R-rated ones and at night. No family in town, and too young to leave with a sitter. She slept in our arms the whole time. Yesterday, we picked her up after completing the Governor's Scholar Program. Apparently our poor judgement messed her up big time.

We would take our first to St. LouisCardinal games because we would notnhaveone to watch her. She usually slept in my lap.
July 22, 201214 yr One of my friends just posted this on his Facebook page: Pic of the shooter... If I were Arab I would be called a terrorist. If I were black, I would be called a thug, but I am a white med student so I am called mentally ill. Just thought I would share...
July 22, 201214 yr One of my friends just posted this on his Facebook page: Pic of the shooter... If I were Arab I would be called a terrorist. If I were black, I would be called a thug, but I am a white med student so I am called mentally ill. Just thought I would share... Disagree. Statistically speaking, most gun violence committed by blacks is drug and/or gang related. Thus the use of the word "thug" being frequently heard. The Washington DC beltway snipers were both black, and I don't recall anyone referring to John Allen Muhammad or Lee Boyd Malvo being called thugs. I would simply have to disagree about Arabs being called terrorist. As a race, I don't frequently see much in the news about Arabs committing violent crimes in general. I will say, though, that the very few instances I recall being reported on the news were certainly instances worth of being called "terrorism". I would probably argue that generally, that would explain the "terrorist" comment from your friend. As for whites being called "mentally ill", I would have to refer to the fact that it's pretty widely agreed upon that in the United States, serial and spree killers are most likely to be white, male, come from a middle-class background, and have a history of mental problems.
July 22, 201214 yr I agree. We would take our first to St. LouisCardinal games because we would notnhaveone to watch her. She usually slept in my lap. Little different than midnite premier showings of a huge blockbuster movie. I guess it's just opinion. Sure I took the kids to games and movies. Would never ever consider a midnite premier like that. Also didn't say it would mess kids up. I am saying it's not a situation I would feel safe to have an infant attend. Lot of crazy stuff goes on at these things.
