Question for DUers

[malaise]

Has a movie theater even been shot up in the US before last night?

1. Can't think of one. Practically speaking, seems like a shooter would probably want more light.

3. With assault weapons and shit tons of ammo, you don't need the light.

8. You might be interested in seeing whoever might be about to shoot back at you, though.

A lethal rash of violence that marred the opening of "Boyz N the Hood," a movie depicting the struggles of growing up in South-Central Los Angeles, prompted several theaters Saturday to cancel the feature and many others to increase security amid fears of a repeat of Friday night's bloodshed.

Eleven people were wounded, one critically, as gunfire erupted in and around three Southern California theaters. Elsewhere, a Chicago man was killed, a Sacramento woman was severely wounded and many other people suffered injuries in at least 25 violent incidents as the film opened in more than 800 theaters nationwide.


I doubt there is an "anything" that has not been shotup in america. Churches, restaurants, government buildings, schools, fields, every fucking where.
