If you want to smuggle snacks into a theater, try to wrap some in your jacket and then hold your jacket on your arm or something. Also, if you are going to the theater with someone who uses a purse then just put some snacks in there. I'm not sure where you live or how the candy is packaged where you live but you can shove some in your pockets if you're able to. If you're wearing a baseball cap you can put a bag of chips in it and wear it. Hope this helps. 👍🏼
My father was a firefighter who responded to this, he will always remember those who were injured, killed. He saw things that he will never forget, the poor man who’s leg was shredded by the gunmen....
I work at a movie theater... Trust me... A lot of people do, even at night. It's mostly young couples. Why? Simple. It's not just 'cause they don't want to pay for a babysitter, but it's mainly due to the fact that it's what they want, rather than what's best for the child. They are more concerned for their needs and wants than being an actual family. It's like Judge Judy once said, "Parents should be giving a test before they are allowed to raise children." And that should be a law in the US, but I doubt it will never happen, because SJW's.
This was one of the first mass shootings that I distinctly remember hearing about as a kid... How I've become so desentizied to these headlines anymore is just sad. My boss, mentor, and now one of my closest friends was there that night. She talks about remembering hearing the bullets fly above her head as she was laying on the ground for cover. She remembers the smoke grenades being thrown over her head. We go to a lot of sporting events together now and she always makes it a point to sit on the aisle wherever we go... It breaks my heart. How often now a days we're seeing these headlines and the unwavering mental impact this has on so many people.
They're designed so when those doors are open, the alarm goes off in the box office or managements office. So the audience never hears them, but management and staff do.
Virginia Tech had 32 deaths +1 because the chicken shit shot himself. Las Vegas had 58 deaths +1 for the same reason, can't even face his consequences. Las Vegas shooting was the worst.
It’s now been 10 years since that dark day. I remember my girlfriend at the time was texting me “babe there was a theater shooting, we can’t go there anymore” I remember letting family and friends know I was ok on Facebook and everyone was like, thank god you weren’t there, glad you’re safe. I remember going to the memorial site across the street from the theater. It was so sad and beautiful seeing people come together to remember the victims. Rip to all the victims. My heart goes out to all their families. ❤️
Why couldn't you go there anymore? This made it statistically the most safest Movie Theater in the USA as it is unlikely to happen in the same place again.
@@MrParkerman6 You never know if another sicko might get the idea to cause even more panic by targeting a place that has already been targeted to try and make people fear ever going back to that place. this was something I always wondered someone would do, someone might want to revisit a place that got shot up before to gain more notoriety by shooting it up again by a different person making everyone feel like it's cursed.
This is so tragic I’m so sorry to everyone who lost a friend, a family member, even strangers who protected each other in the moment. This is horrible.
They got it wrong he wasn't the joker, he was a unnamed shooter from Frank Miller's - The Dark Knight Returns. In the comic a man with orange hair goes into a movie theatre and shoots it up in a batman related crime. I can't believe no one ever connects this and everyone says he is the joker.
When they said, that one victim survived a shooting in a mall only a month before, only to die in that theatre rampage, I really lost the believe that there is any bigger meaning in all of this that surrounds a humans life for some long seconds.
I know that I’m 11 years late, but my dad responded to this. He was a police officer. Hearts out to everyone who lost loved ones. He went in the theater and saw things he will never forget. He saw the injured and dead inside of the theater.
It just makes me very mad and sad for the victims when people say “That’s not true” or “stop lying” My father was a responder who was told to Help transport victims to the hospital in the back of his cruiser. Just please stop. It makes me have flashbacks.
TrimVid I think race is brought into it because of the propaganda we see displayed in such a normalized way that teaches us to fear black and brown people and associate them with the criminal element on sight, yet we are taught to see the humanity in whites who actually do commit crimes. We are taught to empathize with white perpetrators, and at the same time demonized black suspects or even victims. People make note that there is plenty of evidence to disprove the propaganda we are fed. It's unfortunate that it may cloud the situation....but it is relevant and it is often worth noting.
@@catarathegato1240 yeah and thats rude. The main audience at that time is adults. Why should the whole theatre of adults have to put up with someones screaming baby. Get a sitter or stay home.
My aunt lives there and it absolutely terrified me when it happened. Thank god she wasn’t there but my love goes out to the victims and the victims family’s.
I recently watched a movie and accidentally left through an exit door cus I could find the way to the bathroom (I was a little tipsy) but that situation created a cluster fuck.
If im in the theatre and someone leaves by the emergency exit, im getting the fuck out of there, i dont even care if i paid money, im usain bolting out the door, not helping or convincing anyone to leave
The whole thing lasted about 2 minutes. If everyone else had pulled out a gun and started shooting back in a dark theater filled with smoke there would've been even more deaths.
I remember the night this happened. I was 8 years old. It scared the shit out of me. I remember sitting on the couch and looking at that mans face and the way he’s smiling thinking “how could someone be so evil...someone just smiling like an ordinary person.” Now at 15, it’s sad to see that this was one of the first times I realized how evil people could be
It’s so sad that this is the norm now…I remember this shooting and vowing I’d never go to a movie theater. Now here in Bham, AL (and other places I’m sure) it doesn’t matter where you are ; shootings are happening every second. Sending love to those who’ve lost loved ones/friends.
I have lived by the theater my whole life, Over 10 years later I’m still in shock. It’s sad anytime this happens, but it hits harder when it is LITERALLY next to home. That theater was my childhood , now every time I see it I think of the shooting. I cant look at it with happy memories anymore. I remember the news and seeing all of this. I cant believe it to this day. Just a constant reminder. My heart hurts for all of the victims and families. Just SAD💔☹️
One of the victims as noted was Jessica Ghawi, 24 (1:13) who had narrowly escaped a mass shooting at the Toronto Eaton Centre a month before. In a blog entry about that incident, she’d written, “I was reminded that we don’t know when or where our time on Earth will end. When or where we will breathe our last breath."
@@thefinitepickaxe9730 I'm very sorry for your loss. I lived in Toronto at that time. I remember the incident at the Eaton Centre when the shooting happened.
look batman is a *fictional character* unfortunately mental illness is a real thing which people can get help with but unfortunately this guy didn't and decided to go on a mass homicide event
Miguel Arevalo except he has a tank that can fly over rooftops, a flying hover thing that could shoot missiles, and he is a billionaire. I guess I could see elon musk doing that.
I think the shooter got so enthralled with the Joker character that he thought he was the joker and played out that character. It’s the same thing with Hinkley when he tried to assassinate Regean, because he saw the film Taxi Driver so many times that he thought he was Travis Bickle and his obsession with the book the Catcher in the Rye.
My father was one of the first responders to the scene. I was young at the time, and was confused why my father had not come home the next morning. My mother had to explain to me what happened. Jessica(the sportscaster) died in my father's friend's arms. It was truly horrible what this young man did.
No honestly. He needs solitary. He needs to spend every day of his life alone forever. He's living with no life to live. He doesn't deserve the eat way out
I remember watching the news about this when I was in elementary school. I had nightmares and was convinced that the world was going to end. Now I’m in college and gun violence and shooting still continue to exist, in fact in proliferation
I lived in Aurora the night this happened. My dad was considering going to a showing of Batman that night and I had a classmate who's mother died in the tragedy. I was and still am very connected to this incident and I hope that man rots in jail!
When I was little we used to go to the movies a lot but around 5-6 we stopped and I asked to go to the movies one day and my sister broke down in tears and ran to her room she was 10-11 and has heard about this at school I still had no idea what had happened I didn’t ask to go to the movies for a few years we started to go again a year or so after this but I didn’t question why she broke down and I hadn’t thought about it until I came across this video….and now I understand. RIP to all those people and thank you to anyone who had helped get people out
I live in Aurora. My sister woke me up, telling me to come into the living room. My parents, my brother, were all gathered in front of the TV watching the apartment video on the news. Next thing I know, we're all calling our friends, our families, our co-workers, telling them we're alright and asking if they're okay. When I went back to school a few weeks later, the first thing the teachers did was have us introduce ourselves then discuss if Holmes should have the death penalty or not.
Straight up brainwashing across the board. That is why my children will never step foot into those indoctrination centers that they call public schools.
By the way, this comment is so hilarious I took a screen shot and posted it in a private group for all of us to get a laugh. Thank you fucking losers for the entertainment!😀
Austin Vasquez I noticed that you replied according to an alert that I received however, I cannot see your reply for some reason. Something must be wrong with G+. If it is anything like your original post or your failed attempt at an insult then I'm not missing anything.
My mom told me a story saying that he was taking me as a baby to the movie theater and he was going with some friends to see the movie because my brother wanted to watch the dark knight. But my mom said that it was too late to go to the movies and then this happened. Thank god we didn’t go to the movie theaters❤😟😭
I am in shock after what my mom told me 10 years later. I was in aurora July 20 2022 at the mall. I remember that I asked my mom this was the movie theater that was shot up in aurora and she said yes. Then she told me the day of the shooting we were going to go to the movies the exact same day and time the shooting happen to watch Batman but plans where canceled and we went to see it at bel mar movie theater instead. I am still in complete shock I heard this. I hope the victim of this tragedy family are well after 10 years. I thank god for saving my life that day.
8 yrs and 5 months since this !!! And in 2017 I walked in to that theater and they still have police officers inside posted up!!!! And it definitely was an eerie feeling... RiP to the victims ...
I remember waking up and seeing this on the news. This was just a horrific scene. I couldn't imagine the chaos that those people and first responders experienced.
Uh-oh! Warner Bros. Pictures might not be happy about the movie theater shooting in Colorado for the midnight screening of The Dark Knight Rises and now this, there's another movie theater shooting in Louisiana.
Over ten years on, this was so tragic, it really did feel like a Batman villain's or criminal's plot happening in reality. And I give my sincere condolences to the families of those who lost their lives that horrible night.
Rest in peace those who lost their lives in this. Sending more love and healing. I wish their loved ones the best in life and all the happiness and justice. May these innocent souls be remembered forever , be an inspiration to many and continue to change lives with their strength and bravery for facing this. 🥺❤️
My deep condolence to those who lost a beloved one there. May all rest in peace. I can't believe how easy is for a lunatic to get LEGAL ACCESS to fully automatic weapons!! America, when will you understand?
actually what we need to seek is tolerance and world peace. Religion actually causes more harm than good. Do you realize how many times, jehovah witnesses and mormons knocked on my door? i don't want to be part of this cult. when a religion starts doing bad things it's definitely a cult. fuck this religious shit. i don't need an afterlife to do what's right. that's toddler mentality. if you are good, then maybe you will get ice cream for dinner. fuck that. if you can't tell the difference between right and wrong, then you are internally fucked up.
God this seriously bought tears to my eyes.my prayers to those who were injured or killed in this very unfortunate event.and to the families as well.tears started pouring out of my eyes when I saw the man begging to let him kno if they saw his son.so very sad.
Someone needs to break the record with at least 100 kills. Preferred target: Trump rally or a Republican rally, they probably won't happen anymore but who knows.
this is the first shooting i had ever heard about.. i was 11 and didn’t really understand.. a few months later sandy hook happened and i began to understand a little more.. it was heartbreaking for me to learn about these at a young age, i remember my teacher had us make cards for the students and staff at sandy hook 💔
I remembered around when this incident happened, me and my friends were watching this very same movie in amc somewhere in LA. Someone in the theatre was bringing a guitarcase inside but in a different studio. After we got out of the exit, i see a lot of cops outside the theater looking for that guy. This is no joke i thought i was going to be a victim that day. Guns are dangerous folks.
me and my ex was supposed to go to this premiere and i was super excited.. we decided last minute not to but family members were there and i woke up the next day to see this happened and i am glad i didn’t go.. ive been to to that Theater after this happened and it feels wrong
Yep, I'll never forget it. I had just ended my shift at work, and while on the interstate, if I had to guess, about 6 to 10 Cop cars passed me and had to be going around 90+ Mph. A lot of us drivers got behind them, and followed them to within a couple of blocks to the theater. They had it blocked off, and I still didn't know what the heck was going on. I continued to go home, and while going home more, and more, and more cop cars, from different counties, Sherrif's cars, Ambulances from different counties were going towards the action in a hurry. I decided to get Burger king, and still, more emergency vehicles going by. The Burger King staff didn't hear anything either. Once I got home, I didn't turn the T.V. on, but was listening to the Police scanner app, and could hear that they were holding a guy at gunpoint, in the Mall across the theater. He was a Janitor they said. Nothing was even on T.V. yet, I couldn't find any news on it so he must've been still shooting or just finished. About 10 minutes went by, and then I saw the News pop on about the theater. I still have the fresh footage on my VHS tapes. According to THEIR TIMELINE, he started shooting about 8 minutes after I clocked out so that makes perfect sense why I happened to be on the interstate, and see the first responders the way I did. Verrrrrrry eerie feeling, that night.
Being excited for the movie, and then suddenly this was on news headlines everywhere put a fear into me that I can't shake even now. Anytime I'm in the theater I sit close to the exit and make sure I know my ways out. Not only that but I remember after some time, movie theaters started playing that "report any suspicious activity" and "make sure you know where you exits are" thing at the beginning of the screenings. Even when I was working at Publix at the time, I was helping a customer and a balloon in the department next to mine went off and everyone in the store jumped simultaneously, clearly spooked by the massacre. I'll never understand peoples joy in taking others lives.
This psy op is designed to promote legislation mandating high capacity buildings to have metal detectors, scanners, CCTV Networks, security personnel etc. Companies such as OSI, Inc. will make a killing. And by the way since this is a psychological operation no one was killed or injured all played out by CRISES ACTORS and a lying PROPAGANDA spewing main stream press!
It was an quiet night on 20th July 2012 when I was watching TV with my dad when the BBC news comes and showed what happened on that day, it was tragic though very tragic.
I remember that day our family was going to that movie but I got sick in the car so we went back home. Then tomorrow we turned on the tv and saw the news about the shooting. We were horrified and glad that we didn’t go that night.
This came to mind because I live less than half a mile from this theatre and mall area...I came to live here and have a good life, but it's a bit sad and macabre when I'm told by my friends that this was the place where people got shot and killed, and they wanted to watch a movie there a bit last year...kinda freaks me out and also scares me to think I went into a place like that...I went into the theatre and sure enough it has 3 armed security and a few cops passing here and there, also signs saying no backpacks and stuff, the pain and fear is still there and that's really sad...(and man being there watching a movie just...felt off, just couldn't get my mind off the thought I could possibly be sitting in someone's deathbed....ugh...)
I was UPS for Aurora and had to help deliver packages to the mall across the way the day after the shooting because all the businesses around there were shut down. My coworker delivered a lot of the stuff the shooter used in the shooting, I could tell he was shook when we learned about when we got to work that morning.
