Yeah, I don't get it either. Society in general is very ill, getting worse and with no cure in sight. Sadly the world gets darker everyday it seems.
I don’t understand how you can make this statement and choose to have that avatar.
Sick indeed.

You know, I was looking at some stats and it seems that mass-shootings have ramped up considerably after the mid-1980's.
Do you think violent video games have anything to do with it ? Not saying they do... but sometimes I wonder how they as well as violent movies have subconsciously effected society.

One of my younger daughters has been playing Grand Theft Auto 5 for a few years now, she’s hooked on it, still.
It’s been good for her driving skills, she’s 7 now and is a better driver than her older siblings.
She’s a good shot with my handguns too, she learnt the basics of shooting off the game as well.
She’s a bit more streetwise and savvy compared to the rest of the kids.
I think the ‘violent’ video game has been good for her.
What does her mother think?
Well she’s not a weak, gutless, pathetic piece of sh’it liberal either so she thinks it’s just fine.

Sorry that your offended. It's from Pink Floyd's The Wall and is symbolic of our educational system becoming nothing more than a processing plant void of producing individuality. Hence the faceless school character spewing the ground up garbage taught in our schools.
There will be no press conferences in the Empire case as our thoughts and prayers are with the victims of #AuroraShooting. At this hour, individuals are still talking to detectives.

Sounds like he got really pissed for some reason. I wonder if he is a disgruntled employee or if this is a crime of passion. I guess we will know what happened tomorrow when it gets released.

Also according to witnesses reported on Fox News the shooter was a "coworker" so possibly a disgruntled employee?

Henry Pratt Company.
Valve assembly plant.
OMFG
I used to work there! As soon as I saw Aurora, Il I thought of Henry Pratt, or Henry P. Ratt as many refer to it.
I can believe this is happening.

I'll go postal... why has there been a shooting in Illinois? Pretty sure they have the 2nd or 3rd strictest gun regulations in the country....
So... why did this happen again? I mean even though it's a "suburban of chicago" being over 45 miles away... Is this the same as chicago gun violence?
