Gays?

To get back to serious, it's been noticed that the press and Twitter, Facebook etc. are deliberately trying not to show the shooters' picture, or mention his name, unless they have to. Concentrating on letting the victims be the ones famous and most remembered out of this.

Jokes about that are all played out.

When I saw this orange haired screwball in court today all whacked out on meds ... I laughed pretty hard.

Over 100,000 people were killed in the Iraq War -- tragedy is everywhere, everytime, everyday -- I realize we are supposed to feel a whole lot worse for these people because it happened in the United States at a Bat Man showing and because it's big news in our media.

Personally I want to try and remember the victims without giving the killer much thought. He's a sicko and will dominate the news, I wish he would stop being shown.

12 pretty amazing people makes my heart drop.
The word "hero" gets tossed around too much. The three young men who lost theirs lives in order to shield their girlfriends from the bullets are without a doubt heroes.

Broncs colors for sure.

I'm against capital punishment -- because I'm a liberal homo, I know -- but someone like that, you might as well have the head doctors spend a lot of time interviewing him, after that, euthanize him like you would a horse with broken leg, and study his brain to see what went wrong.

yeah, i'm also against the death penalty...but my visceral reaction to stuff like that is take him out and shoot him.
there was a guy a few years back, a criminal, who donated his body to science so they could study him. they froze him, and set up a wild machine to cut very, very thin layers of his body, from head to toe, so they could really study every little inch of him. it was weird watching that thing shave his body down like that.

wonder if they ever found anything useful.

I'm sure they will find that this guy is a little off in the head.

You know, I really haven't had much time to think about this, with it being summer and Saratoga and Del Mar going on and all...

But, isn't the obvious solution now to declare war on PhD's in neuroscience?

How long must we be terrorized by these vile, hatemongering bigots who just hate us for our freedom?!?

i don't know if he's off. i think it's natural to wonder, and to assume that someone must be nuts to do something like that. maybe he's just rotten, not loony. i don't know. at any rate, he won't do it again.

He was probably chugging Red Bulls and popping ADHD pills to study 20 hours a day. The sleep deprivation caught up with him.

He will have a 0.00% chance with an insanity defense.

In a court of law -- you almost have to be ape-sh!t crazy, with the mind of a mongoloid and a complete inability to function in order to be viewed as insane.

As far as I'm concerned -- two of my four brothers are insane. They just don't have violent fantasies.

They also function well enough that they can pass themselves off as smart, normal, and popular when they have to.

The oldest one has a wife, two kids, has kept a steady good-paying job his entire adult life and was the cities best pitcher in high school. He's also 100% NUTS and even though he's not violent at all, he's almost got himself killed on several occasions by doing batsh!t crazy things and he is capable of saying some of the craziest sh!t you could ever imagine hearing.

The youngest, as profiled in esoteric, is a narcissist and a decorated criminal on top of being insane.

Default 12 shot dead at in Aurora, Colorado

Which is why I thought the suggestion that we should all "call someone" about our loony relatives, friends, or co-workers was worthy of a "crass" joke.

Don't we all have a crazy uncle, a weird brother-in-law, or a nutty cat lady aunt that "bears watching?"

And who are we supposed to call about them without being regarded as some kind of nut ourselves?

Lighten up, people, and look out for those boys, Calzone Lord!

Default The Aurora Shooting Victims

Here are their names and a few words about each:

• Veronica Moser-Sullivan, age 6. Four days before the shooting she was bragging about learning to swim. She was to start first grade in the fall. Her mother, Ashley Moser, was shot in neck and abdomen and is partly paralyzed.

• Alex Teves, 24, had graduated in June with a master's degree in counseling psychology from the University of Denver. He graduated from the University of Arizona in 2010. He was one of five of the slain to save others with his courage. “He pushed [his girlfriend] to the floor to save her and he ended up getting a bullet,” Teves’ aunt, Barbara Slivinske told the Daily News.

• Jon Blunk, 26, a Navy veteran who wanted to become a Navy SEAL, was "a hero, and he’ll never be forgotten,” a tearful Jansen Young said. “Jon took a bullet for me.” Blunk had taken Young to the premiere of The Dark Knight Rises to celebrate her graduation from veterinary school. When the shooting started, he pushed her under the seats and threw himself on top of her. He had two children with his estranged wife.

• Matt McQuinn, 27, lost his life while shielding his girlfriend. Her brother tried to protect her, too. McQuinn dove on top of Samantha Yowler, who was shot in the knee. Her brother escaped without injury. McQuinn was from St. Paris, Ohio, where he met Yowler at the Target store where they both worked. The two had recently transferred together to work in a store in Denver.

• John Larimer, 27, a U.S. Navy Cryptologic Technician 3rd class, had been stationed at the U.S. Fleet Cyber Command station at Buckley Air Force Base in Aurora since October. He was raised in Crystal Lake, Illinois. His girlfriend said he saved her life by getting between her and the bullets during the shooting.

• Jesse Childress, 29, a staff sergeant in the U.S. Air Force Reserve, was stationed at Buckley Air Force Base. He was a Cyber Systems Operation Technician with the 310th Force Squadron. He used his body to shield his friend Munirih Gravelly from the bullets: "I feel really sorry ... that he's gone, that none of us were able to at least hold his hand and look him in the eye while he passed."

• Jessica Ghawi, 24, was a hockey fan who grew up in Texas. She had recently moved from San Antonio to Colorado to follow a career in sports journalism. She had just left a shopping mall food court in Toronto on June 2 when a gunman shot eight, killing one. Writing as Jessica Redfield in a June 5 blog post, she said: "I was shown how fragile life was on Saturday. I saw the terror on bystanders' faces. I saw the victims of a senseless crime. I saw lives change. I was reminded that we don't know when or where our time on Earth will end. When or where we will breathe our last breath. For one man, it was in the middle of a busy food court on a Saturday evening."

• Alex Sullivan, 27, went to the theater with co-workers from a Red Robin restaurant to celebrate his birthday. Sunday would have been the first anniversary of his marriage. He had written a month ago on his Facebook page: ''Just took the wife to DIA going to be gone for 3 and a half weeks going to miss her a lot. I love you cassie." She had just returned home the day before the shooting.

• Micayla Medek, 23, a graduate of William C. Hinkley High School in Aurora, was attending the Community College of Aurora. On her Facebook page, she called herself a Subway sandwich artist. "I'm a simple independent girl who's just trying to get her life together while still having fun." She was saving her money to travel to India, where some of her co-workers were from.

• Alexander "AJ" Boik, 18, planned to attend Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design in the fall. He had just graduated this May from Gateway High School, a mile from the theater where he was shot to death. Classmates remembered him as the guy who would show up at any school sporting event, from women's volleyball to men's football, covered in body paint and cheering the players on.

• Rebecca Wingo, 32, an Air Force veteran who was originally from Quinlan, Texas, began working for a mobile medical imaging firm a couple of months ago. She also had a job at a seafood restaurant. She was the mother of two daughters, the youngest of whom just started kindergarten. A fund to help support the girls has raised $9,000 of its $20,000 goal.

• Gordon W. Cowden, 51, a small business owner, was the oldest of the victims killed. He had taken his two teenage children to see the movie. They escaped unharmed. His family declined to be interviewed but said in a statement: "Loving father, outdoorsman and small business owner, Cowden was a true Texas gentleman that loved life and his family. A quick witted world traveler with a keen sense of humor, he will be remembered for his devotion to his children and for always trying his best to do the right thing, no matter the obstacle."
