Colorado Movie Massacre True Post

Last night I posted on my blog mentioning that I was going to cover this story today. This is not something to joke around with, so I am going to cover it now.

Before I get into it however, I want to mention that things like this happening is really starting to get to me. I have realized that the death penalty is not enough for people like this. The government should allow torture because it is only fitting that the people who do stuff like this should have to go through torment equal to their victims and what their families and friends are going through, plus more. It just makes sense that this guy be given more pain than he can imagine.

Now, to the post.

On July 20th, 2012 at a midnight screening of "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises," a 24 year old College Graduate student by the name of James Holmes opened fire on people in a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado. 12 moviegoers were killed with another 50 wounded, (amount wounded is still fluctuating and is not fully accurate, but believed to be 50, 58, or 59).

Here is a list of the 12 moviegoers who were murdered:

 Jonathan T. Blunk, 26
Alexander J. Boik, 18
Air Force Staff Sgt. Jesse E. Childress, 29
Gordon W. Cowden, 51
Jessica Ghawi, 24
Petty Officer 3rd Class John Thomas Larimer, 27
Matthew R. McQuinn, 27
Micayla C. Medek, 23
Veronica Moser-Sullivan, 6
Alex M. Sullivan, 27
Alexander C. Teves, 24
Rebecca Ann Wingo, 32


Each of these moviegoers has unique story for them, however, truth be told, the issue here is how some people can be so immoral and insane. To murder not one, not two, but 12 people in cold blood, and leave so many more wounded and hundreds more heartbroken is just immoral on its own level. The worst thing about it is that he might be declared insane and not even get death penalty. 


Something such as this is such a tragedy, and it really sucks when it just goes by like this. 


Evidence surfaced yesterday in fact about a notebook that was sent to a psychologist in the school University of Colorado. I was watching the news when they mentioned it and I was astonished. This notebook had detailed plans of what he was doing, that his house would be booby trapped, and that he was getting guns and going to shoot up the movie theater. 

The notebook arrived in the psychologist's office on the 12th of July, 8 days prior to the shooting. What astonishes me is that even though this entire catastrophe could have been avoided thanks to this notebook, it wasn't avoided because the notebook was just sitting in the mail room all this time and never reached the psychologist it was meant for. 


It was just sitting in the damm mail room. How can people be so blind as to turn their heads from a package that arrives? Would they be so proud of turning their head if it was by some chance a bomb? I swear, as immoral as some people are, others can be so idiotic. 


May those 12 brave people be remembered forever.
