  1. Your thought about them being fans also was heavy in my mind. Heck, we were even talking about if anyone was going to see this particular movie in chat a couple of days ago. It is just so sad and senseless.

  3. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims of the tragic Colorado shooting, and their friends, families, and caregivers.

  4. I was truly saddened this morning when I read what happened in Colorado. A completely senseless act.

  7. What truly depresses me is that we will have the same discussion afterwards and as always in the past nothing will change.

  8. One of the first things I thought when I heard this was that this guy was in his early 20s, and that’s often when schizophrenia shows up, if it’s going to show up. It’s absolutely devastating, however, that if this is a case of schizophrenia, that it manifested itself in this way, so he did this horrendous act. I still can’t comprehend it.
