The Skeptic
Psychiatrist warned campus police about Aurora shooter a month before mass murder
Now we find that the Aurora, CO, shooter could have been stopped in advance, and nobody would have died, if police had merely done their job after being alerted by the shooter's psychiatrist. But the police failed to do their job, and people died as a result. So...let's restrict the gun rights of the law-abiding? Excuse me?
If the anti-gun crusaders were honest, this vindication of the NRA's position -- that mass shootings are primarily a mental health issue -- would be a very big deal indeed. But they aren't honest, instead using events like Aurora as helpful for advancing their perennial anti-gun agenda. They couldn't care less about the true meaning and implications of any particular shooting incident, but only about pushing their gun-phobic regulatory demands. Being purposefully ignorant and entirely emotion-driven, they are impervious to evidence or counter-argument.
the mass shooting in Aurora that killed 12 and injured 70 more could have been prevented by law enforcement.
The prosecution had tried to keep these records sealed, and it’s not difficult to see why.
Holmes didn’t just flip out shortly before the murder, and police had ample warning of the danger he presented.
this information has remained under seal while Colorado politicians insisted that it was the guns that created the unforeseen danger of mass murder.
