Thoughts go out to all the families and victims.

I was listening to the news last night and they were interviewing a girl that was in a theather right next to the one where the shooting took place. It was apparently only women in that particular theater and the girl said the woman sitting next to her was armed and ready to go. Good on that older woman for packing and being ready to defend all those in her area.

Now I am convinced I need a CC pistol, this is getting out of hand. I like to see movies on my own and this kinda bs will never leave my mind.

I guess here comes another attempt to grab guns,ammo and hi capacity mags.

I predicted this would happen back on 7/9/2015:

You can just call me Nostrodumbass...

I won't surprise me to see several more in the final year of reign of the Manchurian Candidate. If people don't wake up and realize that there is a leftist conspiracy and an agenda we are all doomed.

Apparently the shooter is from Alabama.

Shooter was John Russell Houser; "drifter" from Alabama.

Shooter was from Alabama

Phoenix City Alabama

From the MSM...."have had a Tea Party Nation page registered in his name" Now time to jump on them.....

I haven't seen any news since the shooting. Any ideas as to the motive of this? From what I have heard, he was prepared/equipped to make a getaway but the police were there in no time and cut him off from leaving cleanly. Why would anyone do this? Gun control folks are gonna eat this one up.

based on some of his posts on internet message boards, he was bat chit crazy. he claimed that Westboro Baptist was the only "legit" church left and that America was the world's enemy and he wanted to see America destroyed. He also said that Iran was a much more "moral" country than the US.

He also talked often about how the "Lone Wolf" is unstoppable and the only way to "save" America by first destroying it.

The man was a loon, bottom line. (also, with an extensive criminal record)

Idiot from Phenix City, Alabama. I've never understood he spelling.

Is he actually FROM Phenix City? some sources are saying he's "from" Alabama, others are saying he "previously resided" in AL.

regardless, he's being classified by ALL sources as a "drifter"

Sad and heartbreaking. Innocent people out in society trying to enjoy everyday life as we know it. Praying for those families.

After reading thru the comment its disturbing to know that people seem to think evil has a certain race, religion or creed. Hopefully one day before its to late you will take those blinders off and realize EVIL has no specific race, religion or any other criteria!

My wife's boss went out with him in high school. She said he was perfectly normal back then.

I saw where he held a law degree but never took the BAR

Dayum

The man had a lloonngg history of violence and mental health issues that were obviously never properly addressed. He spent numerous stints in mental health institutions (and obviously released), was denied a concealed carry permit, and was legally disallowed from owning firearms due to his felonies.

So, he wasn't allowed to own nor possess firearms and the movie theater had a no weapons policy, so what new law is going to prevent this kind of thing? NONE, other than having more people in the general population with the proper training and equipment to prevent this kind of violence.

I think the movie theaters should be held accountable for not allowing people to defend themselves. Obviously criminals are not going to respect the law nor the policies of the individual business'; so we need to hold them accountable for not allowing us to protect ourselves and turning us into targets with their policies.

You cannot "hold the theater accountable" for not allowing firearms because the patrons voluntarily chose to go there (among other reasons). Nobody forced them, against their will, to go to the theater

Not sure where you get doing something on your own accord gives companies immunity from the results of their policies but you are dead wrong.

Phenix City, Al not Phoenix city, Al . Actually he was from Columbus where he grew up. mom school teacher. Father worked for City of Columbus tax office.
Did not know him and am glad i didn't. appeared on a local talk show numerous times to discuss anything political from an extreme right profile.
I think Perchjerker lived in Columbus, Ga at one time!!
