And affirmative action is a very nice term for racial discrimination against better-qualified white people in jobs, employment, promotions and scholarships, and college admittance.

The Police heavy audio rather than the fire, for anyone that finds it interesting
2:20 "Give us some damn gas masks, we cant get inside"
3:40 find the suspect
4:15 Im thinking this is where they got the suspect
28:38 First list of what the suspect was wearing.
Regardless of everyone's opinions of whether or not those children should have been at the movies, the fact is that they were there. Nothing can change that now and I'm pretty sure the parents are extremely distraught over that decision at this point. Some may think it bad parenting, but I think there are much worse things a parent can do than bring their kid to a late night movie.
I think the victims of this disgusting tragedy are the one's that everyone needs to be focusing on rather than that deranged asshat and those baaaaad parents! Until there is a law that states 'no kids after dark' there will always be kids after dark here and there. We used to have a drive-in when I was young, much easier for parents without sitters... and they recently brought that drive-in back!! Yay!!
If a parent properly feeds, clothes, washes their child, doesn't beat them or verbally abuse them and doesn't leave them alone in a car while they get their nails done on the hottest day of the year, I couldn't care less if they take their kid to the movies in the middle of the night.
If I wait in line for a midnight premiere and pay 10 dollars for a ticket to a 3 hour movie, there better not be any whiny kids there. If you think it's ok to bring your kids(specifically infants & toddlers) to a movie like that, at that time of night, you are an asshole.
Same here kbass.
Of course because some teenaged stranger helped her and not the kids dad this isnt a tragedy it easily could be. No thanks to him.
If I am at the movie and your kid cries you are the asshole not the kid. A douchebag asshole.
As in the movie. I mean a late night movie like batman. Not a kid flick at a decent hour.

In all fairness the cinema should have said "NO, get that baby out of here, no babies allowed."
Also wtf is wrong with that lady who's partner bailed ? Did she really say yes ? Really ? Come on lady, get a hold of yourself and get rid of that waster.
Colorado shooting suspect's apartment was 'designed to kill,' police say
Authorities in Aurora, Colorado, provide details about alleged movie theater shooter James Eagan Holmes as well as his booby-trapped apartment.
AURORA, Colo. -- The booby-trapped apartment of mass shooting suspect James Eagan Holmes was "designed to kill," officials said Saturday as they described a complex operation to disarm sophisticated explosives without destroying evidence.
"This was certainly challenging," said FBI agent Jim Yacone, detailingthe discovery of the explosive devices and the use of a robot to disarm a trip wire and a primary bomb.
"The threat has not been completely eliminated," Yacone said, while adding that enough progress had been made that "an extensive amount of evidence is in the process of being collected."
Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates told reporters that he believed the rigged apartment targeted the police. “We sure as hell are angry,” he said.
"This apartment was designed to kill whoever entered it," he said. "Make no mistake about it."
Holmes had received a "high volume of deliveries" over the last four months at home and at work, which would explain how he obtained thousands of rounds of ammunition, Oates said.
He said it could take another day to fully dismantle explosives in the apartment and collect evidence, adding that residents of four neighboring buildings could be allowed to return Saturday night. Residents of the building where Holmes lived might be allowed back on Sunday, he said.
Specialists earlier Saturday set off a small, controlled detonation inside the apartment after first disarming a trip wire and incendiary device.
An explosion can be heard coming from the apartment of suspected Colorado movie theater gunman James Eagan Holmes' apartment.
The blast succeeded in disarming a second triggering device, Aurora Police Sgt. Cassidee Carlson told reporters.
A siren and shouts of "Fire in the hole" preceded the blast. Live video showed the blast blowing out part of a window, but no smoke or fire resulted.
"The controlled detonation was successful," the Aurora Police Department said in a statement. "Still more work to be done in the apartment to include dealing with other devices. There is a possibility of more controlled detonations."
The 800-square-foot apartment appears to have three types of explosives, a law enforcement source told the Associated Press: jars with accelerants; chemicals that would explode when mixed together; and more than 30 "improvised grenades" that resemble commercially available aerial fireworks shells.
Before the detonation, Carlson announced a trip wire and explosive had been disarmed, saying "we have been successful in defeating the first threat.

I really want to know what his crazy motive was.
And so the conspiracy theorists begin:
http://www.naturalnews.com/036536_Ja...alse_flag.html
I don't know why, but that just resulted in inappropriate laughter.
RIP little Veronica! Ugh. Then it struck me that this totally sounds like something my brother would do with his little girls (the 10- and 7-year-old), but only if it were the midnight showing of a new Star Wars movie. :/ (I need that little graphic where the emoticon is banging its head against the wall but I can't remember the code.) I'll be sure to bring it up next time I see them so I can voice my strong disapproval. Not.
I'd like to think that the reason why they aren't releasing the suspects mugshot is because the police proceeded to beat the ever living fuck out him once they had him in custody.
Also, I don't care what people will say to try to poorly justify bringing an infant to a loud, 3 hour movie at midnight. Not only are those types of people assholes to other patrons, but they are assholes for putting their infant in an environment where it's probably not that safe for their hearing.

You guys keep referring to 'whiny kids'... did someone say the kids were fussing before the REAL tragedy began?? I would never have brought my son to a movie like that when he was little, but if I had I certainly would have left if he started fussing. And I am totally for posting a rule of no little kids in certain movies or after a certain time... I'm simply saying that there are much worse things a parent can do than bring their kid to a late night movie... There's a big difference between stating your opposition to it and there being posts about it on page after page after page of this thread. The kids shouldn't have been there, I get it, now lets move on and talk about the dead people!
There are far more worse things you can do to your kid than kicking them in the head with a steel toed boot. But doing so still makes you an asshole.
doh! instead, they left them on the floor in a gunfight...I agree that taking little kids and babies anywhere at midnight is shitty, especially a movie theater. It was an irresponsible thing for the parents to do, but at least they didn't leave them at home alone (another thing irresponsible people do). Being a parent means sacrificing pretty much any plans you ever want to make for about 15 years. Sometimes it sucks, yeah. But that's sort of the job, ya know?
As a side note, I saw Fatal Attraction at the drive in when I was 5. My aunt and her boyfriend expected me to be asleep by the time the movie started, but that shit was riveting
does it make you feel any better that this is actually a dude?i saw this on twitter
what a bitch.
Nope. Still a cunt.
Or
My rule of thumb is 'if you're going to make a rape joke, it better be funny'. The shit people are coming up with isn't clever.
Right? Just straight out cruel.
bowie: you really subscribe to this 'he thinks he's the joker' thing, no? you've provided some really compelling evidence!
An aspiring sportscaster. A 6-year-old girl. A man celebrating his 27th birthday. College students who moved to Colorado to blaze paths for their futures.
The names and lives of the victims killed in a horrific mass shooting at a Denver-area movie theater emerged Saturday as families and friends learned the fates of their loved ones.
The Arapahoe County coroner released the identities of the dozen victims who were killed in the attack at a midnight premiere of "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" early Friday in Aurora, Colo.
“The cause of death in all cases is related to gunshot wounds,” said the coroner, Dr. Michael Doberson. The manner of death is homicide.”
Officials said 58 other people were injured in the rampage. On Saturday night, 26 remained hospitalized, nine in critical condition.
James Eagan Holmes, 24, a graduate student at the University of Colorado-Denver, was arrested outside the theater, clad in black body armor and armed with three weapons.
Survivors of the midnight screening shootings were allowed to return to the theater Saturday to retrieve their automobiles, which were left behind during the evacuation and subsequent investigation. Some of them left flowers and flags as tributes to the dead.
The youngest victim to die in the shooting rampage was Veronica Moser-Sullivan, 6, her great-aunt, Annie Dalton, told NBC News.
Veronica's mother, Ashley Moser, 25, was shot in the throat and the abdomen. She remained paralyzed in critical condition and hadn’t been told of her daughter's death, Dalton said.
"This is just a nightmare right now," Dalton said. "It's a nightmare.
"Everything's surreal. It's just surreal."
Here are profiles of others confirmed dead:
Jessica Ghawi, 24
A hockey blogger and aspiring sportscaster, Ghawi had recently moved to Denver from San Antonio to pursue her dream and was working as an intern at a Denver sports radio station.
Jessica Ghawi
“One of the things that she had been working on with all the fires in Colorado was she had asked everybody to donate sports equipment for people because she knows how sports brings such joy,” her friend Mike Lavender told MSNBC-TV.
Ghawi had escaped a shooting at a mall in Toronto in June, writing in her blog that an “odd feeling” compelled her to leave the shopping center minutes before a shooting that left two people dead.
Before the movie she had exchanged excited tweets with her friends about the midnight showing from her Twitter handle, @JessicaRedfield.
"Of course we're seeing Dark Knight. Redheaded Texan spitfire, people should never argue with me. Maybe I should get in on those NHL talks…”

Alex Sullivan, 27
Sullivan had planned to celebrate his 27th birthday Friday, beginning with the midnight showing of the new Batman movie.
"Oh man one hour till the movie and its going to be the best BIRTHDAY ever," he tweeted before heading to the theater where a black-clad gunman wearing body armor opened fire, killing 12 people and injuring 58.
That was the last his friends and family heard from him.
Heartbreaking photos showed his father, Tom Sullivan, in the nearby Gateway High School parking lot, waving a picture of his son and yelling, "Find my son!"
Late Friday, the family got confirmation of his death.
Jonathan Blunk, 26
Blunk always wanted to be a hero, according to his friends and family.
“He always talked about if he were going to die, he wanted to die a hero,” his estranged wife, Chantel Blunk, told NBC News from Reno, Nev.
Blunk attended the movie with a friend, Jansen Young, who credited him with saving her life.
When the shooting broke out, Young said Blunk, a military veteran, threw her to the ground and told her to stay down.
"Jon just took a bullet for me," Young told TODAY.
Chantel Blunk said her husband graduated from Reno’s Procter Hug High School in 2004 and enlisted in the Navy, serving out of San Diego aboard the USS Nimitz. The couple, who met in high school, married in 2007.
He left the service in 2009 and after separating from his wife moved to Colorado, where he worked for a hardware store. After a franctic day of trying to get information about her husband’s fate, Chantel said FBI agents arrived at her home Friday evening and confirmed her worst fears.
In addition to his wife, Blunk leaves behind two young children, a girl, 4, and a boy, 2.
Chantel said she plans to bring the body home to Reno, where he will be buried with military honors. She has set up an account through Wells Fargo to raise money for the funeral and transportation costs.
John Larimer, 27
Petty Officer Third Class John Larimer, of Crystal Lake, Ill., attended the opening with another sailor, who was injured in the attack.
"I am incredibly saddened by the loss of Petty Officer John Larimer — he was an outstanding shipmate, "said Cmdr. Jeffrey Jakuboski, Larimer's commanding officer. "A valued member of our Navy team, he will be missed by all who knew him. My heart goes out to John's family, friends and loved ones, as well as to all victims of this horrible tragedy."
Larimer, a cryptologic technician, joined the Navy in June 2011 and had been stationed at Buckley Air Force Base in Aurora since October.
His family said they were making arrangments to bring the remains back to Illinois.
"We respectfully ask that the family and friends of John be allowed time and privacy to grieve for John and we send our thoughts and prayers out to the families of the other victims and those still recovering in the hospital," the family said in a statement. "We love you John and we will miss you always."
Matt McQuinn, 27
McQuinn, originally from Springfield, Ohio, went to the premiere with his girlfriend, Samantha Yowler, who was injured in the attack, according to family members.
McQuinn was a graduate of Butler-Vandalia High School in Ohio. He and Yowler, from St. Paris, Ohio, moved in November to Colorado, where Yowler’s brother, Nick, lives.
All three were in the theater when the shooting erupted.
McQuinn and Nick Yowler dove on top of Samantha Yowler to shield her from bullets, family attorney Rob Scott told NBC station WLWT of Cincinnati.
Yowler was shot in the knee and is recovering after surgery, Scott said. Nick McQuinn was not hurt, he said.
Micayla Medek, 23
Medek was among the dead, her father's cousin, Anita Busch, told The Associated Press.
Busch said the news, while heartbreaking, was a relief for the family after an agonizing day of waiting for news.
"I hope this evil act ... doesn't shake people's faith in God," she said.
Jesse Childress, 29
Childress was injured in the shooting and died of his injuries at the hospital on Friday.
He lived in Thornton, Colo., and was single. The Air Force reservist was a cyber-system operator at Buckley Air Force Base in Aurora.
AJ Boik
Alexander Jonathan Boik, 18
Boik, known as AJ, graduated earlier this year from Gateway High School in Aurora, his family said in a statement. He was accepted to Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design and planned to be an art teacher and open his own studio. He attended the movie with his girlfriend, who survived the attack, the family said. She was not identified.
Alex Teves, 24
Teves was a 2006 graduate of Desert Vista High School in the Tempe (Ariz.) Unified School District, NBC station KPNX of Phoenix reported. He was attending the University of Colorado graduate school.
Rebecca Ann Wingo, 32

“I lost my daughter yesterday to a mad man," Steve Hernandez wrote on his daughter’s Facebook page, the Post reported. "My grief right now is inconsolable. I hear she died instantly, without pain, however the pain is unbearable."
One other identified
Also identified among fatal victims by the Arapahoe County coroner’s office was Gordon W. Cowden, 51.
