Mass shooting at Century 16 in Aurora

[The Heretic]

And people wonder why I carry a gun and knife.....case in point. This is the theatre I visit quite frequently.....hurts my heart..

Very sad! With all the politics and religous whackos anymore I would want security at such a big event if it were my theater, if they would have had the undercover cops working traffic or whatever they were doing in the hall this could have ended differently? I would hire security for all the birthday partys and such at my house if everyone wasnt already packing.

While I understand your reasoning, this would be effectively a police-state, and I don't think that's what any Americans truly want in our country... having police presence and first responder services will always be critical, but expecting to have the public-paid resources at every possible event such as this, is not realistic without drastic economic impact. As sad and unfortunate as this shooting (any shooting!) is, it simply cannot be anyone elses responsibility to keep me and my family safe, than my own.

This would not be a police state it is the world we live in. They said their were off duty cops their working traffic or whatever, maybe that was false? Most places you go to their is security of some sort now days. Not paid for by the city normally but the promoter or owner.
