Batman Premiere shooting

Woke up to the news that some jackass decided that a Batman movie premiere was a great place to randomly shoot people.  What the hell???  I'm sickened by this.  Yet I know this kind of crap has been going on for hundreds of years.  Well, maybe not in movie theaters at Batman premieres, but you know, where one or more sick fucks decide they are pissed at the world or suicidal and can't just take themselves deep...they feel a compulsion to spread their misery far and wide. 

I don't understand.

I guess I don't understand because I would never, in my wildest dreams, do something like this.  The mindset behind it is alien to me and most people.  This was clearly planned out in advance.  They said that some of the guns used could have been planted earlier.  He has tear gas.  Where does one get tear gas?  So he heard about the Batman premiere and decided THIS would be the perfect event for him to corner a bunch of innocents and torture/kill them for his own amusement. 

I sometimes wish that we were more barbaric.  If this sick fuck knew that when he was caught, he would be tied up and slowly shot and cut up and tortured to death for a period of several hours/days, maybe he would have thought twice and just taken himself deep and limited the suffering to his own family.  Those poor people! 

Can you imagine having a mass murderer for a brother or son or father or lover?  How painful!  You love them and yet...how do you even begin to wrap your head around that! 

And who could tolerate inflicting the death I just described?  That would be another horror.  Unless we could make these guys do it to each other.  Line them up.  When the next one comes along, the earlier one dies at the new guy's hands.  They have already murdered.  Make them murder their own kind.  Then make them pray that no one else does the same thing because they're next.  It's a thought!

This is a terrible day for many in CO.  It is the start of many more terrible days to follow.  My heart goes out to all of the families and friends of the victims in the CO shootings this morning.
