So, this wasn't too far away. I'd guess, perhaps, 6 to 8 miles. Although I've only been to this theater once since I moved to Colorado, but I do have plans to see this movie later today.

I'm horrified that small children and an infant were killed. Who brings an infant to a midnight movie? Or small kids?

I really annoys me when people bring infants to movies ... they inevitably can't be kept quiet, and I've paid good money to enjoy a cinematic experience without some screaming child distracting me all the time. Makes you just wanna ...

I heard that the 3 month old infant was not injured, but was taken to a nearby hospital to get checked out since tear gas was in the theater.

You guys do know there is a bigger story here than whether or not young
children and/or infants should be in movie theaters, right?

I get it Nolan L The entire thing is a complete tragedy, but I think it shocks people to learn that a 3 month old was at risk.

Yes guys ... there's a bigger story to focus on, but it's not taking place in some small town theatre. So much attention is focus on these small tragedies, when there are other much more important problems to resolve: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-18929940

Nolan L just an example, but I think the point was made.

Nolan L of course it is..... It's devastating. There are lots of other things in this story that are sad too. The baby being there, is just another aspect to the story. I just posted to clarify what I'm hearing on the news that the infant wasn't actually injured because there is a lot of misinformation out there. I don't think people intend to diminish the bigger picture by discussing one aspect of it. It's a complete travesty all the way around that didn't need to occur.

I'm scheduled to see a private screening on the movie at 12pm at another theater. 

I'm watching the local news which is obviously covering it and what they, and I, don't know is why. That's what's bothering me the most -- I need to know the intent behind the action. We won't know for a while and even then it will be filtered from the police and DAs offices. but to do something like this for no reason just dumbfounds me.

Daryl Baines, Aurora is the second or third largest city in Colorado at something like 350,000 residents. It is also rated as the 7th safest city in the US for similar sized cities. Aurora is no NYC or LA, London or HongKong, but it's no "small town" either.

"Third largest city in Colorado" ... wow, that country must be really big! I bet a lot of really important stuff happens there!

A lot of important stuff does happen here.

We live closer to Colorado Center but go to the Aurora theatre from time to time as it tends to have cheapest 3D tickets, especially for matinee showings. It is much nicer than the mall it is attached to.

I've been to the Aurora theater once. The people in the theater kept talking hroughout the movie and it annoyed me. Haven't been back since.

I have that experience most places. Other than the Elvis cheap seats, here in Denver the worst I've experienced was at. Chemical Brothers film at Pavilions. Guy on his phone talking for several minutes.

This morning at the 9am IMAX showing of The Dark Knight Rises at Colorado Center, no one said and a word and I didn't see a single cell phone. I was Amazed. But, the movie is that good that it keeps your attention pretty well.

I'm thinking about going to the Elvis Cheap Seats today for either MiB3 or Avengers (again).

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
