First of all, theatres have their lights on until the previews start...... right?
Secondly, all you know is that something happened where a gunman shot up a movie theatre, and we have some particulars. You don't know what his motive or mindset was/is. Right? End of.
They said the guy bought a ticket and originally went in the main entrance to the theater so he could stick something in the door to keep it open. He went to his car and got the guns then came back thru the door he propped open when the previews started and it was dark. Plus people were all dressed up in batman costumes since it was opening night.
Context, man... The lights were on when he took the cell phone call, or made the cell phone call. He came back in when the house lights went down.
with greatest respect ron and i think your a cool poster btw no bull ,
your almost inventing excuses to validate your argument the thing is
one guy takes a call or looks like he took a call in a gloomy theatre full of people ,
eye witness accounts are notoriously inaccurate in these situations the various
possibilities range from lying to scratching his cheek to being the wrong guy entirely
there is no way on this earth to suggest he was mind controlled or helped by a caller from that evidence
have a beer ive been grouchy lately

Inventing excuses? I was just clarifying something for RealAm. When he was seen taking the cell phone call, the house lights would have been on. Keep in mind, witnesses may have been sitting next to, or right behind him -- we don't know this either. They saw him exit, then he, or someone else came back in and the shooting began. There is no evidence nto suggest he wasn't mind controlled -- there isn't. If someone says they saw him, and we don't know from where or how close, sqw him take cell phone call just befoe this rampage started, it actually does lend credence to the idea that he was not alone in this. New info says he had prepared for this for months -- so he didn't just snap and "go crazy".. he was organizing this for a while. I posted a link earlier, a few posts back, about his demeanor in court, there are pictures and a video. The article said he appeared to be sedated, because he sat there bug eyed, expressionless except for the odd facial tic, and he said nothing. The pics and video confirm that he did appear out of it.
We're just trying to figure this out man. That's all. No need to be grumpy. There seems to be a lot more going on that "lone nut shoots up theatre because he wanted to be famous", and there are already changes to security at theatres being implemented. More security, more scanners.... but no motive whatsoever from the guy who did it. If you see a different story than I do, that's cool with me. I enjoy honest debate, not going around in circles with someone who is just being contrary.
