Shooting during The Dark Knight Rises screening

[Den82]

This isn't the first time. In Belgium, somebody dressed like The Joker walked into a daycare center and stabbed over eight teen infants, two of which died.

I'm wondering where the witch hunt is? Not that I think there should be one, but if this was done at a concert or whatever, gigs would be cancelled, records would be banned and burned, etc. Like Columbine, everyone was pushing the blame off on bands and people like Marilyn Manson.

Thats something ive been thinking about alot the last couple of days.

Could this lead to some sort of censership? I wish it wasnt called "Batman shootings".

Wertham was right in some ways, but sometimes it goes to far.

I intensly dislike how the media is 24-7 covering it. As hard as I try, there is no getting away from it and now they been posting his image all over the place. He is being made into a celebrity. His face shouldn't be shown. He shouldn't be made famous and giving him the death penalty will only increase his fame. He will become a cause for those for or against it and will spend decades on death row getting fan mail from killer groupies. He should spend the rest of his life locked in a maximum security mental institution with no chance of parole. No groupies, no supportors, no movies or books made about him. He will end up a forgotten old man with no hope of ever again setting foot out of a mental institution.

Sooooo. The guy can unload on a group of unarmed people including children but when he sees armed cops coming he gives up. We need to find a way to send him back to merry old england. He needs their punishment for treason..

I agree. The media will be covering this all day everday for at least another week. It's a tragedy and needs to reported on but it will be drowning out other news stories too. How many times can they report the same thing over and over again?
