Colorado Massacre 7-20-2012

As you may know by now since Friday there was a deadly masacre in Aurora, Colorado. A gunman by the name of James Holmes killed twelve innocent lives that night and injured many more. I will be putting a post up of each of the lives that this horrible man ended that night. The man who seemed from the naked eye a normal guy which to many such as this blogger was scary. That night while many people packed in to watch the newest Batman movie and excited to see after months of planning and preparation.  As theater 9 of the movie theater in Aurora and eyes watching the screen they all soon heard a pop. Was it a fire cracker? As some believed it was, while a few others knew immediatly what it was and told their family and friends to get down on the ground. When hearing that pop they were soon faced with a man with guns shooting at anyone he saw. Many people were rushing out to get out and protect others from not getting shot. This man has forever changed out lives. In Colorado we already learned years ago of the massacre in Columbine High School which still haunts those who remember that day. This wasn't like that at all. No it was just supposed to be a normal night watching this movie the movie of the year it seemed. This horrible coward man knew there would be a room packed with people for this movie and what was even more odd was how he got inside the building of the Theater. How did he get in? Well through an exit none-the-less which I believe should have been locked from the outside. In case of any fire was to happen or any incidents such as this it should have been like any exit locked from the outside and only accessed through the inside. Who knows if that may have deterred him from killing those in in theater 9.  What if it was just a side note and he would've most likely gone around and killed through going through the front of the building or gone to another theater. Even about his own apartment building what if things gone off wrong over there. Cops would have been going over there and that would've taken the time from that and then been not able to get to Aurora's movie theater in time to stop this mad man or even help the wounded. 


I expect people not to be worried though about stepping into a movie theater and worried about what may happen next. This hasn't happened before and it may or may not ever happen again. I can't predict the future but I do know that you shouldn't be afraid of the future always be afraid of everything that happens. How many times have you gone to a movie theater with something going wrong? With that said I do want to say that my prayers and thoughts go to the families of the wounded and for those who died that night. For you many not know me but many know you by the stories told through the media but you will always be remembered.
