Batman Terror


I'm not going to comment, yet, about the shootings at the movie theater in Aurora Colorado.
Not until I have the facts, and as respect to the dead.

There is already a knee-jerk reaction against the 2nd Amendment going on in the news media. I'm not going to engage that. I will cut and paste the radio chatter from the Aurora police scanner though...

And once they bring forth the "gunman" or the "perpetrator" they should never name him/them or show his/her face. It seems the crazies really like the publicity.
