In regards to the Tragedy in Colorado, I have one request

[puppetmaker]

I woke up this morning to the news of the shooting at the Movie Theater in Aurora Colorado. There are 12 people dead and over 50 injured by the actions of one idiot.

I am praying for everyone affected by this tragedy. It is senseless even if we find out why.

Here is my request. Let us learn the names of the victims and forget the name of the shooter.

Too many times we remember the perpetrator rather than the victims and I think that needs to change.

I am grateful that they caught the shooter alive.

I think you're absolutely right. It's the very least that needs to change, but it's the one thing that we can all do, in this moment.

So so true. A certain event in Norway that happened a day short of a year ago also brings this to mind. The perpetrator got rewarded for his cold blooded and calculating actions by much more than 15 minutes of fame and weeks in court while the victims really even got a mention until the trial


Heard over here that so many people at the movie at first thought the gun shots were part of the movie as it all happened during a shooting scene. Death imitates art

Is there no end to the madness?
