Just over a month ago, Redfield survived a shooting that killed one person on the site and left a handful of other people wounded in the Eaton Centre mall in Toronto

i haven't read all the pages here but what about that NHL writer who survives a similar event in Toronto last month where a guy shoots people in a theater only to be in ANOTHER one a month later and is tragically killed? that is so freaky and creepy.

Links or it didn't happen.

look up

Yup and watching brokeback mountain made me want to go suck a dick.

Jesus christ :rolleyes:

Actually that's a great comparison. I guarantee watching broke back mountain made people suck dicks. You can't reference your personal experience and make a broad generalization about all moviegoers. You can however deduce how the movies affected one particular man that dyed his hair red and called himself the Joker.

Lets end everything. No movies no sports no nothing. What happened was awful, but blaming anyone or anything besides the person responsible is stupid. I am still going to watch the movie Sunday unless they choose to pull it. When you let sick people affect your life they win.

[KendrickPanther]

I can blame something without demanding it be stopped. The movie clearly played a role in this guys behavior but I wouldn't ban violent movies. Rather accept this is the price of doing business. As a society we have become way less violent than our parents with the occasional psychopath that get's intense media coverage. Right now people in Syria are laughing at our 1st world problems.

Inspired? I guess. But I quoted a post that said crazy movies make people crazy. That's retarded. This guy wasn't a normal dude who watched this movie and said "whoa. I'm gunna be crazy now like this movie. Just like the joker"

I dressed as joker for halloween, that's being inspired by a movie. This guy was blatantly already fuging nuts.

His quote was that crazy movies make crazy people crazy. I don't think anyone is saying the movie makes sane people crazy.

Come try to kill me with a rock

lol,

but it is a lot harder. i can see both sides of strict and no gun laws... but this is sad and im praying for the famlies.

what is lost in all of this is despite all of our advancement in tech and phones and the net is how disconnected from people many are. true friends value time spent with someone, not tweeted or on facebook or texting. nothing can replace eye contact and hearing someone laugh or come up with a crazy story.

maybe being wireless isn't all it's cracked up to be. we need more analog relationships instead of wi fi.

Pstall, I might agree with you. But what has that got do with some crazy guy shooting up a theater?

[pstall]

deac. the very fact this guy did what he did, showed no signs at all, tome means he didn't really have very close friends. a close friend can sniff out stuff, raise a flag or tell enough people.

its the guy in the corner alone at the office party or the person nobody says hello too that feels disconnected. the more distant you feel from people, the easier to lose ones sense of humanity, thus, making it a bit easier to kill people for no other reason than just that.

Whatever happened to CRAZY? some people are just fuging crazy from birth

[Doc Holiday]

I think the U.S. justice system needs to consider a case for when people do stuff like this let the punishment fit the crime, this guy is going to get a penalty no worse then if he had killed one person, I say kill the mother fuger in inches and maybe next time they will think twice about doing something like this.

Guns in the U.S. have been around for practically as long as the country has been, while cases like this show reason for tougher gun laws, at this point it's totally impractical, there are already too many guns in the U.S. to regulate, and with gun laws it would only make law abiding citizens the ones that won't have the guns anymore while the criminals would still have them. no amount of legislation is going to change that.

This is hardly a new thing though. There have always been loners. I doubt social media has changed that.

I wonder how many friends Jack the Ripper had?
