I know what that poster is referring to and it is totally irrelevant to anything and is in extremely poor taste due to the subject matter of this thread.

Typical, though.

It's a hoax. Somebody edited clips and compiled them. That's not the original episode.

Good Morning America on ABC, therefore, played right into the hands of those who preach a liberal media bias when journalist Brian Ross, speaking to host George Stephanopoulos, said alleged perpetrator James Holmes was a Tea Partier.

The left always points fingers and tries to place blame on he right.
So the Weather Underground, Unibomber and ELF/Earth Justice idiots are RIGHT WING? Yeah. Most cowards using bombs against innocent people tend to be left wing. Even that idiot McVeigh at least tried to focus on government employees, F-troop in particular.

I also heard CNNs speculation about right wing groups last night, they of course didn't speculate about left wing hate groups. They are becoming as irrelevant as a news organization as BSNBC.

Those pics should end the thread. Everyone should view them, step back and reflect on what's important. Those people don't care about politics, left or right, or red or blue.

ok - it would have been nice to have some kind of warning attached to that link.

I opened it, thinking it was probably more rather benign pictures of the crowds and people helping people but the pictures (at least the first two that I saw before exiting) are very, very graphic.

So, this is a warning to others - open at your own risk.

It would be a common courtesy for anybody posting pictures, if you think they might be difficult for a lot of us to see, please post a warning.

Like I said yesterday - I don't have to see graphic and bloody pictures to understand the gravity of what happened yesterday.
