One of the trailers playing in front of Rises was Gangster Squad, where the cops shoot up a movie theater...Jesus.

 

WB has since taken the trailer off the prints.

BULLSHIT.  He shot up the Batman screening because it was a big movie with a maximum amount of vulnerable targets.  No more, no less.

The shooter NEVER SAW THE MOVIE.  Why can't people grasp this?  What, now it's movie TRAILERS that are the problem?

Extremely well said, Tim. This part is excellent.

The headlines will read “Batman Massacre,” “Movie Massacre,” “Dark Knight Rises Movie Massacre,” and it’s not that. It’s just a massacre.

 

The location is barely the point. (Like Harley said, it was almost certainly picked just because the shooter knew it's where a large group of people were sure to be.) But the media will spend the ensuing weeks looking at the usual suspects -- the movies, videogames, youth culture -- when those things are merely a distraction.

 

Still, my hope is that more people will now start asking why in the world it's so easy for a 24-year-old to get an "AK-style" assault rifle in this country. We've really got to do something about the threadbare gun-control laws we have here.

Yup. It had nothing to do with the movie.
