Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

The only reason I can see to pointing out his political affiliation is to insulate your party from accusations of influencing him.
But at this time, I’m assuming any information about the shooter is incorrect.
Indeed.
A crime committed by lone madman should not be used as a political tool.
The Shameless Generation
If he was a hard left democrat the lamestream retards would proclaim this to be the act of a lone wolf madman who was traumatized by video games or something. If it turns out he is indeed a conservative then the narrative turns to be about conservatives toning down the rhetoric and what if Obama’s daughters were there you meanies. The truth of course is that neither party and neither ideology promotes going into theaters and shooting the place up. Only one side tries to say that the other side does do that however.
Being a registered Democrat means nothing.
My dog is a registered Democrat – he even voted for Obambam.
My prayers are with the families of the victims be they democrat ,republican, independant, or not at all political .
May god have mercy on their souls.
wow so sad and trajic.
Wait for it.The left will dig into every victims past,and if they find even just one who was forty times,twice removed from some slave 200 hundred years ago,they will use that.The only thing responsible for this,was same guy of his meds.Prayers for the victims.
And no.We aren’t that far gone,just some.If I was a cop/sherriff/whatever,I would be checking out the twits twitting this crap.

The Usual Suspects: ABC’s Ross, Stephanolpoulos Point to Tea Party in Dark Knight Shooting UPDATE: ABC Corrects, Apologizes–After Blaming ‘Social Media’ and the Public
http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2012/07/20/It-Begins-ABC-Ross-Stephanolpoulos-Point-to-Tea-Party-for-Dark-Knight-Shooting
And now the retraction:
http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/aurora-dark-knight-shooting-suspect-identified-james-holmes/story?id=16818889#.UAmGtPHgLf6
What a load of steaming horseshit!
Now going to tune in to Rush and see what he has to say about this.
Breitbart’s post was clearly a response to ABC News’s earlier insinuation.
Liberalism has created a generation of dysfunctional misfits, and when one of them does something extreme, the rest blame everyone but the left.
It is either Bush, Palin or Limbaugh but never the leftist misfits
But then again insane people never see themselves as they are.
Stupid is to be expected today, given that we know the square of nothing regarding the suspect. Including if he’s the one that did it.
About all we do know is it’s another “gun free zone” shooting gallery, and that we will keep seeing headlines like this until policy on self defense changes.
Apparently, the perp was studying in medical school…and recently dropped out?!
Ahh, the objective is to save patients not create patients.
So this disturbed dude decides to snuff out 13-14 lives like something out of the Wild West 1870s.
Back in the day, you would get a fair trial and a hanging for that kind of behaviour.
I mean what are you going to get at a theatre:
“Give me your popcorn and candie bars or your life.”
Yes, you are going to need a prayer alright…
Psalm 116:3,4
3 The snares of death encompassed me; the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me; I suffered distress and anguish.
4 Then I called on the name of the LORD: “O LORD, I beseech you, save my life!”

Brilliant tweet from the first article “so very sad. I wonder what Rush Limbaugh will say today, considering how he incited hatred against the film”. Hatred against a film? That’s filmism. Where’s the Film Rights Commission on this?
Seriously, a very tragic situation caused by a nut. Nothing else.
Speaking of stupid: Rob Ford wants to turn gun control up to 11. Even more than Stephen Harper has.
“Three years for possession of a handgun? That’s nonsense. They should do some serious, hard time, and not come back here,” -idiot mayor of TO Rob Ford
The he blamed immigrants or something. This guy is a disaster. He should just step down before the next election so someone serious like Karen Stintz can take over.
http://news.nationalpost.com/2012/07/18/rob-ford-to-press-harper-for-tougher-gun-sentences-in-wake-of-scarborough-shooting/
“The he blamed immigrants or something”? Very well done with your grammar and reasoning, Las. Karen Stintz is actually a joke. I think you may be on the wrong blog 🙂
LAS – Wasn’t the prior accused in Toronto a couple of weeks back supposed to be under ‘House arrest’ or something? Not sure about the ‘garden party’ last week but a longer sentence or the abolition of the ‘house arrest’ farce may have prevented at least one of the shootings, No??
Whether we like it or not Concealed carry may be the only way to bring our Liberal society under some form of order.
Yes, concealed carry is absolutely necessary and ROb Ford would appear to absolutely hate it. I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised to see Stephen Harper crack down hard on ‘criminals’ who are carrying/owning ‘bad’ guns to appease the Zeitgeist. He is absolutely craven and hates freedom.
Basing or changing law on one tragic event with the question ‘could we have prevented it’ leads only to bad law.
Tying Rush to the shooting is stupid and disgusting. That said, this conspiracy theory about Bane/Bain is retarded. Bane is a decades old character. This story is stupid all around.
Such tragedies have almost always the same pattern of aftermath, don’t they?
1. The tragedy occurs.
2. Within minutes/hours one or more Leftists, be they individuals on Twitter or on a blog or members of the MSM, are either blaming conservatives directly or using the tragedy to yammer on about one of their causes, which is often gun control.
There’s zero empathy for the victims or their families. Such people are merely props in their continued political narrative.
Such cretins are repugnant but yet they clearly feel no shame. 🙁
Going to have to wait to hear Rush’s opinion.
He’s off today- Steyn filling in for him.
Hans…..Wild West violence is a myth. The crime rates were insignificant compare with today. Society was structured around family and community, the life style of outlaw wasn’t glorified in popular culture. Of course, there was civil war, political violence and local group on group conflicts, but individual crime among God fearing agrarian people was marginal.
Today, randomness of the crime is really scary. You can not even take precautions from becoming a victim.
‘…Zeitgeist?…hates freedom’? Where does all that originate? How on earth can encouraging one to become more self-reliant equal hating freedom?
Exactly Robert. Virginia Tech, Fort Hood, Tucson, and now this.
Two things are all but guaranteed –
1) He probably played 50 + hours of violent video games a week.
2) He was probably known to mental health hospitals, schools, and friends as being unstable and violent, yet nobody could do anything due to liberal laws.
Apparently no one has learned a thing since Virginia Tech.

I’d have to say the second link is not that stupid because the left DID start it with making tragedies political (see the bridge collapse in MN, Tuscon shooting, previous shootings, etc. etc.). Also, since the left starts it, it now means we have to defend ourselves and resort to the chidlish tactic of pointing out the voter registration of these people.
This situation and all situations like it bring out the crazy. It’s the republicans. It’s the democrats. It’s because of all the technology. It’s video games. Kids have no discipline today.
There’s no way he was a crazy person that just snapped. There’s no way muslims dropped the WTC, that was a government conspiracy. There’s no way a crazy guy shot Gabrielle Giffords that was Sarah Palin. Stupid idiots.
Nobody has a single grain of commonsense anymore and it’s incredibly frustrating and sad to hear this nonsense every time.
a shooting committed just miles from Columnbine???
a shooting that occurs days before an anti-gun POTUS is sbout to sign onto a very unpopular UN gun control treaty???
a shooting which is exceedingly well times to offer political justification for a number of government anti-gun initiatives???
Oh posh, I’m sure it’s all coincidence.
— and WTF are 6 year old kids doing at a midnigh showing of a PG-13 rated movie?
Occam: There was a 3 month old there as well!
‘…Zeitgeist?…hates freedom’? Where does all that originate?
The various laws making Canada less free ie warrantless internet tapping, ramping up the WOD, regulating ammo as ‘explosives’ etc
How on earth can encouraging one to become more self-reliant equal hating freedom?
I never said that.
It has been reported that NBC announced this morning that the perp is a member of the Tea Party.
It seems there’s a gentleman living in Colorado with the same name as the shooter. He is a member of the Tea Party. He’s also 58 years old and lives nowhere near the crime scene. Without checking further, NBC goes with the story. Said gentleman has now had to go into hiding.
Typical Leftie bullshit.
Madmen like this are no better than rabid dogs, and should be put down as such. Political affiliations are totally irrelevant to these animals.
Prayers to all the victims and their loved ones.
It was ABC’s Brian Ross, Gaylord, not NBC.
And if I could have found that link before the Twitchy one that would have been up there.
(Naturally the Brian Ross thing is all over the place now.)
Not that the left’s contention that criticizing a movie is bound to cause violence is in any way valid or lucid but I’d like to point out that Rush Limbaugh PRAISED the latest batman movie. Not surprising a libtard would miss that point.
“Never let a crisis or an atrocity go to waste.” seems to be SOP for lefties and the MSM. My prayers for the dead and their families.
I did notice in the Breitbart piece
“it appears there are several individuals using the same social security number listed to the James Holmes in our documents”
I wonder what that is all about? Is the suspect using a false identity or a victim of identity theft?
I hope the 58year old James Holmes sues the pants off NBC for endangering his life with such depraved indifference.
None of it is surprising, it’s America. Every extraordinary incident is used to further polarize the dysfunctional political situation. It can’t be fixed. Just make sure you’re nowhere near when the SHTF.
Lance- ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC- They’re all cut from the same cloth. What is surprising is the fact that
I’m not in the least surprised.
Wow, the media have really dropped the ball on this one.
From http://www.denverpost.com/breakingnews/ci_21118947 :
“Using a camera with a zoom lens, Lujan’s roommate said he could see into the suspect’s kitchen, where a poster of Will Farrell in the movie “Anchorman” was hanging on the wall.”
Clearly, Will Farrell is responsible. As a precaution, he should be thrown in a deep, dark hole and never be allowed to make movies again.
This is just plain stupid. It’s estimated approx. 3% of the population is mentally unbalanced and even if it was only 1% it would mean more than 3 million nuts on the loose with only the most violent being locked up. There are a lot of these mental defectives that will watch the news and see this nut as a hero to be emulated. As long as the MSM gives special status to these people this cycle will be repeated again by others looking for their day under the spotlight. This type of crime should be a seperate catagory where the perpetrator is strung up in the town square and left to rot for a couple weeks. Short of that, this will continue to happen because in todays society every life is special. Not. He’s famous now, and his name will be in the news for years to come. Probably what he wanted.
Yeah, let’s blame the Hollywood movie industry for glorifying violence…
Well the movie certainly lived up to it title:
“The Dark Night Rises”
Batman the crime fighter should be banned because the perp identified himself as the “Joker” to police.
Problem is no one is laughing…
Maybe its because Will Ferrell made the movie “Bucket of Blood”…
The media circus is well beyond stupid.

Yeah this is really weird…it seems to indicate something “bigger” than just a lone nut…but what? I am not sure…
It is natural in America to politicize everything when there is always an election coming and poses to be struck in partisan campaigning that never ever takes a break.
Where is Warner Bros in all this when they have a lead in for this movie with someone going into a movie theater and shooting people? Advertising works!

However the left/democrats seem to provide most of the public bad actors/shooters/assassins….from John Wilks Booth to lee Harvey Oswald……

[“it appears there are several individuals using the same social security number listed to the James Holmes in our documents”

Probably an indication of demoncrat affiliation….vote early and often.
The real contributing factor is likely that the theatre is a “GUN FREE ZONE”….
Piers Morgan’s comments? I for one am indifferent to that slimy Brit….sexual preference unknown but suspect IMHO…..

Spot on. I agree 100%.
When the Left starts using a tactic like this(and they did start it) we are obliged to use the same tactic or be defeated in our quest to influence the undecided.
For those who advise using Marquess of Queensberry rules, please research McCain, John 2008 Presidential election.
Losing losers and how they love losing with hollow honor, thereby ceding the future to be ruled by skeevy scoundrels.
Liberal association is dangerous.
You could lose an eye when the Liberal madding crowd start pointing fingers!
To answer your question Kate, yes indeed we are waay past gone. Everything is politics. The looney left will do, say, blame anything and everything. How long till they figure out how its GWBs fault.
I can’t believe there wasn’t someone in the theatre with a concealed carry permit. What a shame. If one swinging dick had brought along a Smith & Wesson, this tragedy has only two or three victims, not 50+.
