SRK cracking jokes about this tragedy-- because you can’t spell slaughter without laughter.
Jokes aside, how did he sneak in all his weaponry? I understand that people get dressed up for movie premiers and that could have given him leeway and that the movie was crowded by people, but to me it should make people suspicious. I wouldn’t know for sure unless I was there, it just seems off to me.
please read at least one article before posting. he didnt just walk in through the front door. he entered through an exit door, and a lot of movie theatre exit doors have direct access to outside, and you dont have to do anything but go from your car to the exit door, but usually there are no handles on the outside of these doors and are closed, so it must have been one with a handle and unlocked without an alarm that goes off if opened, or he had an accomplice.
dudes weird though. why did he even tell the cops his apt was rigged if he wanted to just cause havok, unless he has a plan 2, if he is claiming himself to be the joker as reports are saying he did to the cops.
Read he bought a ticket, went in before hand propped the emergency exit , went out parked his car, by the door i guess, put on his riot gear and came back in shooting while folks were about 30 minutes into the flick
You’re right, but you still didn’t help out. Here’s what I found in the reddit post above:
“Eye witnesses are saying that a man used his cell phone and exited the emergency exit minutes before the shooting occurred. If you see the footage of the white car, it is parked right next to what looks like the emergency exit in the rear of the theater.
Seems like there was only one shooter, he was in the theater and exited through the emergency door. Held the door open, entered his car which seemed to be only 50 ft away. Put on all his gear, and re-entered the theater.”
Looks legit until he went in to perform the genocide. Only thing that doesn’t make sense is why any sort of alarm didn’t go off (it’s an emergency exit after all).
My nigga. When a person owns an AK to that level for home defense, what level of offense are they prepared to take down? Seriously, that sounds like I’m ready to plug about 50 grizzly bears armored with kevlar from head to toe and butt to balls over a pic-a-nic basket.
Suddenly that Walmart flash mob robbery incident doesn’t look so bad.
I’ll take obnoxious black youths dancing around water melons and throwing bagels ANY day!
I was unsurprised to find a reference to Taxi Driver in Frank Miller’s Batman: Year One script, given that particular scene in Dark Knight. It’s pretty clearly the Travis Bickle character type, which is essentially just an art/entertainment reflection of that type of person as it exists in reality. As Paul Schrader termed it, “a particular breed of white boy”, and “one of those Taxi Driver kids”.
Schrader was actually on my mind when I wrote my remark about censorship, because he’s the one who said, “You won’t get rid of the John Hinckleys of this world by censoring art” and “What will happen if you censor genuine studies of this kind of pathology? You will still have the pathology. You just won’t have the study… You will lose the work of art that comments on the character, but the character will still be going on his merry way, because he really wasn’t created by art.”
