At least 10 people were shot dead at a Dark Knight Rises premiere in the US.

...What the actual fuck is wrong with people?

I was going to get around to doing a reviewy thing of the film (I really liked it, though I can see why some people wouldn't), but after hearing that...

:(

It's really surreal for me because I have family near there. I mean, they used to live in Aurora. None of them were in that movie theater, but they did live somewhat nearby.

It's like the time I came home from the Twin Cities to find on the news that a major bridge collapsed there. I wasn't on the bridge, but I was there around that time.

I've never really had anything like that happen - closest has been a street in Egypt that had a bomb go off a couple of weeks after I visited. Though I suppose the fact that most of family lives in Australia, and we seem to have less of that sort of thing going on, touch wood.

The problem is with a lot of my online friends I don't really know enough about where they live to know if I should be worried for them.

I live in Minnesota (hence, the Twin Cities), so Colorado is a fair distance away, but I did vacation there last month, and I was close to Aurora.

One of the injured was a three month old baby. Thankfully, she's going to be fine, but stuff like that just makes me sick. Apparently the theater is only twenty miles away from Columbine too.

Yeah, anywhere you are close to know it's weird to hear about in this sort of context.
