All of the tragic shooting sprees have one thing in common.....they were soft targets.

Eliminate soft targets and you eliminate the problem.

Alphamale has been waiting in a crowded theater for the last half hour waiting for this moment. He has his popcorn, and his model girlfriend at his side and his anticipation rages as the lights dim. The sound from the surround sound Dolby Digital speakers begins to roar, a testament to modern sound engineering. The light from the silver screen dances before his eyes and the movie begins.

But what's this? Firecrackers? No. Alphamale knows that sound, that's the sound of live fire from an AR-15 assault rifle, and the hiss of smoke grenades. People begin screaming and panicking, but Alphamale remains calm and remembers his Call of Duty training. Innocent civilians all around him leap and claw towards the doors. Animals. Alphamale surveys the perp. Young, early twenties. Good with his rifle. Alphamale observes the beads of sweat dripping from the perp's brow--he's nervous.

Alphamale reaches for his CCW Glock, the only gun that he would trust in this situation. He takes aim carefully, knowing that he'll probably only get one shot. He sets his sights on the perp's head and fires his weapon. The perp falls like a ragdoll. He blows the smoke from his pistol and holsters it, then sits down to continue watching the movie. He has waited years for this movie and it would be a shame to let this tragedy ruin this moment. He grabs a fistful of popcorn and prepares for his hero's exit when he leaves the theater.

All the while Led Zepellin's "Dazed and Confused" is playing in the background, it's his theme music.

That's why he is an Alpha male.

But they don't.

Guns are forbidden in the chain of theaters that this Aurora theater was part of.

This shooter seems to have been pretty well prepared. It is likely he knew that no law-abiding citizens would be able to shoot back if he chose this theater.

I wasn't allowed in with my gun, so it sat helplessly in my car while 71 people were shot like fish in a barrel.

How would you explain this spree shooting from rural Alabama a couple years ago?
