Well, as long as we are focused on what the victims did wrong, I think she should have dragged her husband away.

She had a choice that affected the ultimate outcome. She made her choice.

Now she must always live with this guilt. Tragic, really.

So is this just for movie theater shootings? Would this apply to kids getting bullied to the point they decide to bring and discharge weapons at school as well? I mean, with kids it's even more to be expected since they don't make the most rational choices to begin with. It would go far in eliminating some of the weepy hemming and hawing of victims' parents going "how could this happen", so there's that to look forward to, which is nice.

JORR's "Chicago Tough" - shoot someone, anyone, just for being a douchebag. Completely normal.

I'm glad to see that some people still like to blame the victim, in situations like this.

Did you read the article leash?

It appears that is what she tried to do. Somewhat strange you would think her first reaction would be guilt rather than profound sadness..

Well, I'm not shooting anyone. I assume you wouldn't either, though your rage over innocuous message board discussions does suggest the potential for becoming unhinged over a real affront.
But if a shooting every now and then results in better manners in the public square, I'm not sad about it.

Strawman anybody? Between the numerous strawmen you have set up, and the insults you have hurled at others, you have come off very poorly in this thread. Maybe it isn't your intention, but your posts read as if you put most of the blame on the dead guy.

The shooter could have moved, or got an employee of the theater to intervene, but by all means, keep saying that the dead guy should have handled it differently.

You really should stop accusing others of setting up strawmen. Nobody does it more than you.

That's all I've been trying to say here. There is a number of people trying to argue to the contrary.

I've clearly stated they both could have handled it differently. You are either ignoring these facts, or just choosing to ignore them.

The dead guy bears some responsibility in this. Period.

The guy never should have shot him. Period.

When you start calling out the likes of DT with the same vigor that you approach chas with, get back to me.

I think we're missing the blame that needs to be placed on the concessions person that sold the deceased the popcorn that was thrown at the gunman that caused him to kill the guy. Unless we're ignoring it, because just like the victim, his share of the blame, while greater than zero, doesn't merit that much discussion.

I didn't attack you.

I think he did tell an employee, didn't he?

But you did attack everyone else in the thread DT.

Ad hominem indeed.

The argument was labeled as dumb. Your own post here speaks to your abilities in the reading and comprehension department; I do not need to do so.

Keep your strawmen and insults. I have no interest in climbing into the gutter with you.

Continue fighting your losing battle.

We also must blame the farmer who grew the corn. If he hadn't grown that corn, a little girl would still have her father.

I think people are arguing the degree to which he is responsible for his own death. You seem to be coming in on the higher side than others in this thread.

I mean no offense, but you do kind of rage over over innocuous message board discussions.

You get in the gutter almost every time you attack chas. Who are you kidding. And then you attacked me without even reading the report of the shooting.

Man in glass house throwing stones alert.
