The BIGGEST problem that we have is people who think that they are always right and that everyone else is always wrong. They constantly will hang a label on a group of people that is unlike them. You know the type. They make fun of the very intelligent, the educated, the transgendered, the Gay, the Eunuch, the (...fill in the blank...)

These folks are so insanely IGNORANT, (...and nuttier than a Squirrel TURD...) that they imagine themselves a patriotic Americans while they condone the insanely rich running for President, while hiding MILLIONS from their income in off shore accounts in the Cayman Islands, Swiss Bank accounts, and in foreign countries.

They sit up nights watching propaganda that agitates them with innuendos, half truths and outright lies while picturing themselves as loyal Americans. They claim to want to limit immigration but they hire migrants without green cards to do their hardest, dirtiest labor that Americans used to humane working conditions will not touch.

They picture themselves as human individuals but then they find a passive-aggressive way to tell people that they hate them and everything they stand for because they are just intolerant bastards, worse than any NAZI that God ever gave breath.

They INSIST on the legislation FORCING their morality in the name of GOD when they will burn in hell just the same as those who are too blind to concede charity, tolerance and forgiveness to their fellow human beings. They hide behind laws while exhibiting a total lack of ethics, exhibiting injustice, immorality, and evilness that would make Satan himself sick with shame. Or they will simply die and their dust will mingle with the dust of those whom they choose to hate because they think that they are better than them.

They deny basic medical care to their fellow human beings in the name of making a buck and then condone the CEO's and the CFO's of large medical corporations and medical insurance companies making tens of millions of dollars in salaries from literally sucking the life's blood in money from dying individuals and their relatives that are not ready to see them die.

No, this insane person will get some measure of justice. However, like the ones that I have mentioned in the paragraphs above, his justice will NEVER equal the injustice that he has perpetrated upon the world and that he continues to perpetrate upon the world. Yes, they will all die and nobody will be able to reason why they had to live to do so much evil in the first place.

Americans are some violent people, it's what makes us who we are. You never know who is either going to pull a gun or go home and get a gun and pull it on you. This makes people act differently than in passive societies. Gun bans only hurt gun enthusiasts and rarely keep criminals from obtaining them. This guy was squeaky clean, he could have bought a tank if had the money. No gun ban in the world would have stopped this guy. He was on a mission. Plus, it's who we are as a people. I like that the world knows Americans are some violent people. That we kill 30,000 of our fellow citizens a year just for the sake of killing. That every man knows there is a limit to what he can say and do before it crosses a line that could get one killed. And our prisons are full of people willing to pay the price to keep this the violent place that it is.

NO, you are not safe out there and you never will be. Living free is a risk. And if you disagree, someone may just hunt you down and point an automatic weapon at you with a large capacity clip, ensuring that you and your family die. Let everyone live in fear.

I am sure the gun lobby will use this to show why citizens need to be armed. Even though he wore full body armor and a helmet with a throat and groin protector, it makes it clear he had considered that someone may be armed in the audience. A good headshot could have saved a lot of lives. That is what the gun lobby will say. Yes, let's remain a violent society.

Both told me that their armor saved their lives but the bullet impact definitely ruined their day. If a single armed person had been there to contest Holmes's activity the scene might have been much different. A high capacity mag, and a laser sight and several shots to his torso might have scared him away. Or the shooter might, then, have focused on one person rather than spraying the crowd.

And forget gun control...he could have set off a bomb, wiping out the whole theatre complex. He didn't do that because he wanted to see the horror he was wreaking.

I'll answer that. No one in my world.
