Dude also had a hatchet! Hopefully no one other than the shooter was killed.

These idiot suicide shooters are beginning to wreck my movie-going experience. I can't NOT stare intently at everyone coming from or going to the bathroom or concession counter during movies now and have missed vital scenes making sure I can identify the intentions of all who enter/exit the theater. I also make sure to locate the damn exits now too.

I'm guessing this guy was going for a suicide by police. While it is great that the cops showed up so fast and were able to stop him, why would he only pepper spray and hit someone with a hatchet (with the dull side apparently) when he has a gun.
I went to see MI5 this weekend and constantly caught myself watching people enter the theater to assess weather or not they were a threat. It shouldn't be this way. We need to either step up our mental disability services or give idiots like this a yearly battle royal so we can watch them kill each other.

What could you offer to make it worth their while to compete instead of just go about their business?
Maybe their name on a plaque and some free publicity for their views?

Seems like the suspect was shot before he managed to kill anyone else. Glad to hear.

Surprised this got as much press as it has. Antioch is literally Nashville: Detroit Edition

I don't think it would hurt for the msm to boycott these stories, but I wouldn't lay it on them, it would be like blaming everything on distasteful video games. Even if it were the case I'd rather have the drawbacks of a free press, than the drawbacks of a state controlled press.
I personally think these people are true psychopaths that get off on seeing people die suffering, just like the serial killers we used to have. Maybe we'll have mad bombers tomorrow and mass poisoners after mad bombers go out of style. There is some sort of mass psychology involved, but it's far more dangerous to sacrifice an ounce of freedom over a fringe in our mass psychology.
