The police statement is still talking about a single gunman in a single event. They are investigating the thought of multiple shooters but they don't think so.. No evidence according to them of anything your mentioning.

as for military tactics, everyone can google it and look at youtube scenes from iraq and afganistan.. or even hollywood movies that use military/police instructors to make a movie realistic..

Thank you.

I was commenting on what was originally being reported via the European-based media from their US affiliates. I guess it will be while before precise details as to number of shooters and tactics can be confirmed.

Re the second part of your reply, I appreciate that there is a load of info on the net. But all the same I feel that our members who've been in the military and done specialized training could give us some valuable insights based on their own, personal experience.

Mike

Your welcome mate.

As for the second part, thats exactly what i did.. ;-)

I'm listening to the police scanner and they have a navy rep, NCIS maybe, there and trying to get access and the guy in charge keeps telling him to go away and call tomorrow because he can't confirm that any of the deceased are Navy.

Yes but the whole point is the ease in which a gun makes killing a person. You can just pull it out cock it and shoot. A viable bomb actually requires some skill, which puts it out of reach for many people.

The amount of petty arguments in the UK both between strangers and in families & friends circles, if you threw guns into the mix the murder rate would rocket. A murder rate which is currently at a 30 year low.

To be even more clear, I'm a US-expat, I grew up in the deep south, surrounded by guns. I have seen two people shot dead.

Cool story Bro!!
If you are an expat, you are the equivalent on this issue as an ex smoker yelling at the smokers, we understand why you are how you are.

This.

There's no way you can arm the entire population of a country and NOT have a lot more gun violence.

Theres always a need my emotionally laden friend. And its not apathy its indifference, people die get over it. Finally glad you got the point though.

Have a nice day....

You are soooo coool because you are jaded about death and suffering. You must be so deep and fearless.
Sadly you just come off sounding like a tool.

People going for a cheap laugh need to pack up and gtfo along with all the people pushing an agenda.

Except that they aren't calling him in they are trying to make him go away and the Navy guy is the one saying he needs to be there.

No "bro". Expat doesnt mean I'm no longer American.

Work on your analogy and get back to me dawg.

That's what I was trying to say....It was on Yahoo yesterday.

I'd like to listen to the scanner, but it isn't working for me.

Do you have to sign in to listen.


p.s. I live about 5 miles from that theater and I was going to go see batman there on sunday,... not now.

Sorry, but your pics, are distasteful.

They are not needed either.

Not to bring out the conspirator in me but what could this do with the UN's wanting to take USA weapons away from citizens? Haven't paid much attention to all that so don't flame.
