What's wrong with people nowdays ? You can't even go to your movie house and watch a movie without worrying about getting shot ! I'd never be any place at midnite in first place, but, it's a shame that others that are that brave to get out that late have to worry about getting shot while they're eating popcorn in theater. Idiots dropping off their 6 yr. olds at midnite!!!!!! Gees, Louise! Then we wonder why people are snatching kids in broad daylight and they end up on Tv. What's wrong with parents nowdays other then just being lazy ? What's the world coming to.........  |

A lot of depressed people in the world today. Then we have too many crime shows on TV. And someone does a big shooting and other borderline nuts copy it and do their own shooting. I think cutting the number of crime shows on TV might help some. A psychological thing to get people thinking about more pleasant things in life.

That's true, but, parents have to plug in too. Raise your kid to have some sense and pay attention to them. We got babies having babies. I wish Dr. Phil /Judge Judy would run for Pres. Everybody needs a dose of realty with a coating of common sense. No wonder these kids today are running amuck. I'm afraid it's all to little to late

I'm not talking about kids. I'm talking about adults watching too much violence and crime on TV. We didn't have shootings like this in the 1960's and 1970's...and we had more sitcoms on TV and less crime on TV. Maybe it's time to go back to good core values and more TV shows like The Andy Griffith Show.
Adults get depressed from all the crime on TV. I don't even like watching all the crime on TV.
Maybe more comedy on TV would help keep more adults from being depressed and doing bad things.
Even shows like American Pickers and Storage Wars are better than watching all the crime shows on TV.

I don't think NCIS is causing the crime. If parents monitored their children, maybe they wouldn't grow up thinking up ways to get attention by killing as many people as possible. It's called personal responsibility.

You speak the gospel phantom ! People need to take responsibility for their own actions and not expect others and the Gov. to raise their kids. We saw 2 little girls walking alone on 45th St. the other day and husband said "there's 2 victims just waiting to happen". Even back in my day it wasn't safe to walk alone on the streets, sure as hell isn't now. Only difference is theres a camera shining on you every second. I agree to much trashy shows on TV too, all this sex, sex ,etc. No wonder kids have no morals anymore. Lucas McCain , knew where Mark was every second of every day. LOL Aunt Bee made Opie walk the straight and narrow. Kids nowdays would die laughing at those shows. Given to much to early and don't appreciate none of it.

I saw this picture posted on Facebook. Unconfirmed...but if James Holmes has an Occupy Wall Street connection. That means he could be connected to Obama and the liberal Democrats. Was the attack staged? This 24 year old kid had expensive police SWAT guns and a gas mask and bullet proof vests, and he had his apartment booby trapped with liquid chemical explosives. Did this guy have help?  |

Did you say,' kid'? Man, he's 24 already. I saw the news at DFW airport and didn't believe there's another shooting happened on the US soil. I was in Amarillo, by the way. It's a nice calm city, especially in downtown, I guess, where you have to go 30 mph to catch the "green corridor". |

Hey Doysl! I wondered whatever became of U and if you made it to Tx. Was it hot enough for you? LOL How was your plane ride?
I don't go downtown that much except when the Civic Center has shows I'm interested in or to the Central Lib. so, don't know what the green corridor is.
You go to Cal.? See any movie stars ?

Hey shark  It was really hot in everywhere I went, in Texas too. In Russia it's hot too right now, but it's different. I can't explain it, but it's different. Unfortunately, I didn't visit the canyons, the Great Canyons neither, because had no time. I should cut off one day from my plan and that day was with the Canyon. The green corridor is when you have to drive slowly, because if you go too fast you'll stop on red, but if you go not that fast, the red becomes green right when you come to it. I didn't see any movie stars in Los Angeles and actually I don't care about them  The only thing that was interesting for me in LA was The Last Bookstore I visited in downtown. The bookstore isn't like in Russia. There were people reading their own texts and others were listening to them. It was interesting, but they didn't have an a/c inside  On the way back to Dallas I got stopped by police because of reckless driving (I was hurrying to the airport). When the officer had seen I'm Russian he said he's not gonna give me a ticket, because I'm a tourist. I had a hard time to find a place where I could buy a cake, until I got to the United. It was nice in Amarillo after all |

Don't feel bad the cops just gave my husband a ticket for trying to keep the hot sun off of his face by putting on that stuff you can buy at the store that you cover your window with it was only 25% and I thought that was allowed by state law-25% coverage.
He wrote something on the ticket we don't understand and we can't get anybody to explain it to us, so, now we have to wait till the cop turns in his tickets so we can see even though we ripped off the protective coating on the window how much court costs will cost us. I assume if you comply with the law and have it checked as OK then you show proof that you have complied then you just pay the costs?
We're new down here and can't believe you can't protect your skin from the TX sun. I know the cops want to be able to see you as they're approaching the car, but, I think, your allowed to have the back and passenger side of the car as dark as nite, so, what's the difference if somebody is gonna shoot U from the back seat then from the front? Cop wrote down a '6' on the ticket and I'm trying to find out what that means are you only allowed to have 6% coverage? we went to the DMV for answers, nobody would or could tell us, we went to the Judical ctr in Canyon the gal at the window said she couldn't comment till she got the policeman's tickets that he turned in and he's got 5 days to turn them in. So, guess we have to wait till next Mon.

That's a photoshopped image. Sadly the act of senseless violence committed by a mentally deranged, violent criminal was going to be politicized. Whomever photo shopped that image and state controlled ABC news' own minister of propaganda Mr. George Steponallofus recklessly went on the air purporting to link the shooter to a political party Mr. Stponallofus and the entire state controlled media apparatus is opposed to. |
