Dark Morning Follows Dark Knight Premier Shooting


Fourteen people were killed and at least 50 others wounded early Friday when a gunman opened fire at a midnight screening of the summer blockbuster "The Dark Knight Rises" near Denver, authorities and witnesses said.

Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates told reporters that 10 people died at the scene and four others died after being taken to local hospitals. At least 50 other people were injured, Oates said, including a six-year-old girl.
Witnesses said tear gas also went off in the theater.
A 24-year-old male suspect was apprehended in the shopping center's parking lot, Oates said.


The incident occurred in the Century 16 Movie Theaters at the Aurora Town Center, Aurora is a suburb less than 10 miles east of downtown Denver.
NBC station KUSA-Denver cited a witness as seeing a black-clad 6-foot-tall man wearing a riot helmet, goggles and bullet-proof vest.
However, many people attended the film dressed in Batman-related costumes

This is tragic. A man open fire in during the premier of The Dark Knight Rises in Aurora, CO. Over 50 were wounded, 14 are dead. The shooter also had explosives in his car and home.

Here is a couple of clips






President Obama responds:
Michelle and I are shocked and saddened by the horrific and tragic shooting in Colorado.


Federal and local law enforcement are still responding, and my Administration will do everything that we can to support the people of Aurora in this extraordinarily difficult time.


We are committed to bringing whoever was responsible to justice, ensuring the safety of our people, and caring for those who have been wounded.


As we do when confronted by moments of darkness and challenge, we must now come together as one American family.


All of us must have the people of Aurora in our thoughts and prayers as they confront the loss of family, friends, and neighbors, and we must stand together with them in the challenging hours and days to come.
My heart goes out to the people in Aurora.

Rush Limbaugh believes Batman's “Bane” was made to Hurt Mitt Romney


Rush must be high, because he thinks that 'The Dark Knight' folks are using Bane to damage Mitt Romney.

Deadline reports Rush's statement:

“a lot of brain-dead people, entertainment, the pop culture crowd” – are “gonna hear Bane in the movie and they’re gonna associate Bain. The thought is that when they start paying attention to the campaign later in the year, and Obama and the Democrats keep talking about Bain, Romney and Bain, that these people will think back to the Batman movie… There are some people who think it’ll work. Others think you’re really underestimating the American people to think that will work.” Limbaugh adds: “You may think it’s ridiculous, I’m just telling you this is the kind of stuff the Obama team is lining up. The kind of people who would draw this comparison are the kind of people that they are campaigning to. These are the kind of people that they are attempting to appeal to.”
This idiot is a trip. If he knew the Batman mythos, Bane was created in 1993. How will this hurts Mittens? It won't; he's doing a great job doing that by himself.
