where have i heard this before,oooooh thats right reminds me of a white subpremist that killed a group of innocent church people in wisconsin….even looks like the gunman,poor stupid wife with child in the house says she didnt know his motives….and yes i did spell suBpremist correct….thats what these cowards are sub.why would anyone call them supreme except to mention them as supeme cowards.
I absolutely agree with the above comment by mrjwest. They are supreme cowards. They don’t want to show their faces and don’t mind taking innocent peoples’ lives. They want to hide their identities by covering head to toe with the stupid white cloth except the holes for the eyes. They are perfect cowards.
I wonder if either of the above commenters considered the possibility that the man arrested was carrying a firearm in order to protect himself from copycats of the Aurora gunman before associating him without merit to Klansmen or any other representative of white resistance.
It should surprise noone that someone with as poor grammatical and punctuation skills as jwest makes such stupid and unfounded claims and statements but it seems Laksmi may have actually paid attention in school and should be better able to spot such nonsense let alone avoid participation in it.
Let the facts come out.
THE SKY IS FALLING!!!…THE SKY IS FALLING!!!!!!
“It should surprise noone that someone with as poor grammatical and punctuation “
@ thomas wyrock.. Casting stones much?
Somehow that is not very publicized(?!) . Maybe because there was no body count? I hope because there will be a INVESTIGATION, with definite answers. Unlike: ” Know it all fools” above, I can wait to find out. On that note, idiotic parallers of shooters to Joker/NeoNazis than merging them together creates a “Racist Joker NeoNazi” ? Stupid.
I am not normally in favor of gun control, as long as the guns remain at home or are used for sport or on a firing range. I now believe that guns should be treated like illegal drugs when they are brought out in public. No one in Colorado, Wisconsin, or anywhere else recent massacres have occurred, deserved to be shot by people who have obvious mental health problems. We need to start banning guns in public places where they don’t belong.
Scott Smith obviously has some unresolved psychological issues and Mrs. Smith has to be thinking what she got into marrying and having a child with him! If Scott was so afraid of a crazed gunman coming to the theater he should have gone to a daytime matinee showing of the film or waited for the DVD to be released around Christmas. Then again, its apparent with a room in his home devoted the guns, this guy had issues a long time ago! My older brother was a gun nut…with the emphasis on NUT! He was a bully from the get-go and overly self-absorbed with himself. He wanted to be a policeman so he could carry guns and kill people who disagreed with him – I was one of his targets! Dan was a coward of sorts who was lost in a fantasy world that he could be a ’he-man’ alpha male by carrying around weapons and threatening people. In his own mind he was invincible and the world had better revolve around him. He got into it all – stupid meaningless tattoos, pushing people around – his tactics started at one year-old going forward! Dan drove beat-up vans, lived in an old dilapidated office building where he had to go down a hall past other offices to go to the bathroom – how he would bathe in a place like that is anyone’s guess? He was a chain smoker and heavy drinker. I guess he thought he was cool – to a lot of other people, he was stupid! He was controlling and therefore didn’t have many friends – he was a ’lone’ wolf! For 4’7”, he could throw a lot of weight around, literally! One couldn’t really talk with Dan, he’d blow your head off if you set him off – trouble was he had a lot of set off points! I was a year younger and had to put up with this bully – getting pushed down stairs, having my ears boxed-in, doors slammed on my fingers among other tricks in his bag. Thankfully this cretin never reproduced and passed away in his forties! Dan had an arsenal as well and tried to be a gun dealer as well! If I were Mrs. Smith I’d think really hard about wanting to remain with this guy…sounds like she really has her hands full! Funny thing, seeing a photo of Scott, he has the same physical characteristics of my deceased brother – now that’s a scary thought!
it’s a shame that he went to such lenghts to protect himself. personaly i don’t patronize any business that refuses my constitutional right’s. when the government holds these businesses responsible for any injury that is inflicted that you could have prevented if you were by law armed!! then maybe, i would patronize them. but we all know that won’t ever happen. this corrupted government could care less about our constitutional right’s, it’s all about political contributions. (“BRIBES”) to be correct.
There’s no PROOF this person’s intentions were evil. He may simply be a gun NUT. If he doesn’t have a Conceal CARRY Gun Permit, he should be arrested. If he has a permit, he did nothing wrong.
In a similar incident, a lawyer with a CC Permit took a gun to the movie. He had it in a holster, in the small of his back, under a shirt or light coat. Still, someone noticed it a notified police. The police questioned him and he showed his Permit. They still arrested him for being “unco-operative”. I would imagine he gets this minor charge dropped since he legally owned the gun and leggally possd it in a public place.
In many locations, residents mau OPENLY carry a gun or may legally carry a concealed gun, with a permit. If theater owners don’t want this conduct in their place of business, PUT UP A SIGN ~ NO GUNS PERMITTED !
It’s LEGAL to carry a GUN. That’s NOT going to change. It’s a Constitutional right.
Maybe, the guy wanted to be a hero just in case something did happen? Too bad he was not in Aurora.
Why do people insist on convicting someone based on a news report? The media and a certain ethnic minority wanted to hang George Zimmerman without all the facts being known. Now that the evidence is out, sure looks like Zimmerman offed a punk for good reason.
“Whatever his intentions, and they were most likely bad, credit to the sharp staff and security for preventing what could have been a scary and deadly situation.” Okay, credit the alert folks who stepped up, but to say, his “intentions were most likely bad” may not be accurate.
More guns held by trained, licensed and legal citizens, means less crime. In Utah, where real men have guns, a maniac showed up at a church to shoot people, but this time he was put own by armed citizens.
What I would like to know since the people at the PD can’t answer it for me after repeated request….. Why did it take so long for the media and PD to report this? Budget cuts at the PD? Poor reporting? Crocker Park or Westlake withholding information. This happened on a Saturday night and wasn’t reported until Tuesday. The PD keeps getting worse and worse.
