Such language. Not that he doesn't deserve the moniker, but really.

In reading some of the information about this guy, I really doubt any armed law-abiding citizen would have been able to stop him - between the darkness, compromised night-vision (due to bright movie screen), tear gas, and the kevlar the shooter was wearing, it would have been difficult, if not impossible, to get a good shot.

I know I sure couldn't have done it. Despite your low opinion of me, I'm not foolish enough to take that kind of risk.

Of course, being a law-abiding citizen, I respect Simon Mall's right to disallow firearms, and would have either not attended the movie, or if I had, been unarmed. The shooter, obviously, did not respect private property rights.

I still wonder how he managed to get into the theater without security and/or police being alerted that someone with a rifle was traipsing through the mall. Or did he come from outside the mall? I walked into a Simon Malls-owned facility once, and within 20 feet, security was hassling me about my holster (which turned out to be empty at the time - as per their Code of Conduct, I disarmed prior to entry).

Maybe you shoulda been there to have a shootout with this asshole, have more people killed in the process, and then you could be dead too, something you hadn't planned on going to the movies......

That is the other side of it.
