let us just make up shit

its as likely that the idiot shooting up the Batman showing was paying homage to the red-header Bulgarian bomber (after all he colored his hair red) as it is that he's pissed off over Obamacare.

Of course it could also be that , maybe the showing was sold out or someone was sitting in his favorite seat at the theater or his girlfriend said she couldn't go to the midnight showing because she had to work on Friday.

Just stop it.

We don't know why.
He is another nutjob who probably doesn't have any coherent reason for what he did.

I don't really see much difference in your OP than in any of the other OPs on the subject.

I do concur that the speculation doesn't really do any good but you yourself speculated that he was not "mentally healthy". Most of the OPs I have seen on the subject are decrying the lack of help available for people suffering from impairments that affect their mental well being. And that is a fact that we all pay a high price for.

7. I was responding to the inference that the shooter dropped out of medical school and shot up people

because of Obamacare which was in multiple threads.

I'm sorry but there is no way that I'm going to consider someone who shoots 70 strangers sane.
So yes I'm interpreting that his mental health is impaired.

I don't know the degree to which he showed mental impairment.
We know that other shooters have been under care but the mental health professional did not expect the individual to turn into a mass murderer.

I don't think mental health availability is necessarily a comprehensive solution.
Because I'm not sure that ill people know they are ill.

9. I say he chose the premier of DKR because it was guaranteed to be sold out.

He wanted as many fatalities as possible.
