When strictly playing with my AR- on a range and not trying for any accuracy, I could empty a magazine in seconds. No modifications necessary. It's just pulling the trigger as fast as the finger can move. In a theater full of people? it's a horrible scene to consider. It's even graduated for height, so aiming truly is a moot consideration for spraying wild rounds and still hitting someone with almost every one of them.
I agree. I had 30-rd magazines taped together, and I could "bump-fire" my AK from the hip and keep all the bullets within a pretty small spray area and empty a magazine in seconds. 60-rounds in about 20 seconds including flpping the magazines.
If this guy had a crowded theatre, with panicked people clumping at exits, and he had all those different guns, it is pretty amazing that only 71 were shot in the 2 minutes. I wonder how many the theatre even holds? Maybe he shot pretty much everyone that wasn't sitting right next to an exit?
I'm still baffled that he didn't just shoot the responding cops though? He had more bullet-proofing than they did, and he had more guns readily accessible than they did, and he was already guilty of murder, what's a few more bodies? Why didn't he just shoot the responding cops and leave the scene? Why did he mention the booby trapping? Did he intentionally get captured, and intentionally draw all this attention to his apartment? Is it misdirection? Insanity? Regret?
Probably the gunman was just out of his trance, Mk ultra programmed and he was non violent at that point.
Maybe enough Miss direction to get his helpers right off the scene

Colorado theater shooting; Unbelievable, that nobody went after this guy while he was shooting... has America really got that bad, does everyone have blinders on, do you actually depend on safety prcedures & law enforcement to protect you in every way possible?
I don’t mean to be harsh, but I just find it hard to believe… shot at me, my family, friends, or community neighbors and you better hope you kill me on the spot, because I know I will be protecting what I love the most... and if anyone at that theater did give their life protecting others, my God bless you for your unselfishness.
I know this is a RANT...

Just to be clear, using children as "soldiers" is nothing new. If you're faint of heart, stop reading now.
In Korea they would round up 10 or 15 kids and hand them each a grenade. They would run as a group towards a US tank, and try to get one grenade on top of the drivers hatch or the engine compartment. Children have been used for some nasty things since the beginning of time. It's just making the news nowadays.

I watched her "brother" on channel 9 news and he seemed to be acting.
Look at this blog he supposedly made.

How on Earth did a grieving man have time to fly from San Antonio to Denver, go to the crime scene and be on the Channel 9 News AND write a blog about his sister?
I think this whole thing is staged in order to instill more fear in us. Next we will have to go through metal detectors and a pat down to go to a flippin' movie.

Folks talking about the emergency exits and alarms, I have 2 thoughts. Most theatres I've ever been in do NOT arm any fire alarms on the rear exit. It isn't just a fire exit, it is a regular exit also. BUT, on the flipside of that, at a midnight showing, and an over-crowded theatre, they ALWAYS post some kid by the door to make sure everyone has a ticket and nobody is sneaking in. Also, if the door was propped open, there would be a sliver of light from the outside parking lot, and that would be very annoying in a dark theatre. NO WAY it could have stayed propped open for close to an hour without someone noticing, getting annoyed, and shutting it.
I mean, I guess it is what it is, but leaving and re-entering a packed theatre through a rear exit door without help from someone inside seems almost impossible on an opening night for a big movie.
But, I was a rear emergency door not the one down the front side of the theater, so, no one would be looking behind. Unless they were trained military or CIA.

Now expect a bunch of copycats looking for their 15min.
Then why is it so easy for bat**** crazy individuals to get fire arms? Keep your freedoms and keep your guns but run a background check and psychological profile on anyone wanting to buy one. And anyone having a gun with out the proper authorization should go to jail. And possessing an unregistered gun should set off alarm bells.
What's your solution to almost anyone that wants to commit mass murder....can with ease?edit on 20-7-2012 by olaru12 because: (no reason given)
