Greetings, internet. I may be a little late to commenting about the James Holmes shooting, but better late than kumquats.

| That is the proper phrase, right? |
Anywho, If you haven't been plugged into the news-o-sphere with a bloody cord in the back of your neck, there was a shooting in the Aurora theater in Colorado, where some crazed gunman shot up a theater during the midnight premiere of The Dark Knight Rises. It was a crowded theater, and there were 13 casualties and 52 wounded. Talk about a harsh reception, am I right guys?

Hello? Is this mike even on?

First of all, I'd like to talk about James's choice. Talking from a strategic point of view, he did well, blocking the exits and whatnot. From a humanitarian point of view, shame on him. Well he chose the right time, because, well look, it was the Batman premiere. It ensured that the crowds were gunning for the seats.
If you thought that was a bad joke, you've got much more to deal with. Eyewitness reports describe that Holmes waited about 20 minutes after the movie started, and the audience was initially confused because they thought the gunfire was coming from the film. Looks like the movie really blew them away. I originally didn't want to check it out, but I heard it was worth a shot. It did well financially too, because it made a killing in the box offices. I think I'm just gonna wait until the crowds die down first.
Well, I guess that's it. I can show myself out.
