Political opportunists seize upon tragedy to attack second amendment

Friday, July 20, 2012

Within hours of the tragic ‘Batman’ shooting in Aurora, Colorado, political opportunists have seized upon the incident to push for gun control, with New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg demanding that both Mitt Romney and Barack Obama “stand up and tell us what they’re going to do about” mass shootings.

Death Obsessed Culture, Not Gun Rights, To Blame For Batman Shooting 28 BaneRomney AP

Exactly as we predicted in our earlier article, leftists have wasted no time in exploiting the actions of a lone lunatic for political grist, with Bloomberg calling on the two presidential candidates to crack down on gun rights.

We knew ghouls like Bloomberg would rush to exploit this tragedy to try and crush the right to self defense.

Quite how either Romney or Obama have the power to reverse a Hollywood-inspired culture that serves up lashings of violence to young people like turkey at Thanksgiving is anyone’s guess.

In addition, the notion that either of the presidential candidates can put a halt to a juggernaut pharmaceutical industry that doles out violence-causing SSRI drugs to youngsters like penny candy is clearly asinine.

“I mean, there’s so many murders with guns every day,” said Bloomberg. “It’s just gotta stop. And instead of these two people, President [Barack] Obama and Governor [Mitt] Romney talking in broad things about, they want to make the world a better place. OK. Tell us how. And this is a problem. No matter where you stand on the Second Amendment, no matter where you stand on guns, we have a right to hear from both of them, concretely, not just in generalities, specifically, what are they going to do about guns?” Bloomberg told WOR News Talk Radio 710.

  • A d v e r t i s e m e n t

Bloomberg was followed in his idiocy by CNN host and all-round smarm-merchant Piers Morgan, who in a series of tweets hastily seized upon the tragedy to promote his lust for disarming the general public.

“America has got to do something about its gun laws. Now is the time,” said Morgan.

“Lunatics like this will always try and get guns. It should be 100,000 times harder than it is for them to do so. That’s my point,” he added.

Perhaps the more fundamental question that needs to be asked as to why America keeps experiencing mass shootings, when as recently as twenty years ago they were few and far between, is to what extent our sick culture and entertainment industry is contributing to the general malaise and unfeeling psychosis that seems to have gripped the younger generations?

Why were there so few mass shootings just two decades ago compared to now? Has the number and availability of guns increased substantially? No. Is the sewer pipe we call Hollywood and the entertainment industry pumping out sicker, more nihilistic and more violence-strewn films than ever before? Yes.

As numerous observers have noted, the recent Batman films have contained unnerving amounts of violence that seem to serve little purpose other than to appease a bloodthirsty craving for gore and brutality amongst young people, who have had such sickness foisted upon them through movies, entertainment, video games and popular music.

As Jenny McCartney notes in the Telegraph, we have been turned into a society seduced by sadism.

This sadism is also more accessible to children and young people than ever before. Many people today are asking what a 6-year-old child was doing at a midnight screening of a movie?

In addition, the fact that these kind of movies are able to generate such a level of suspended disbelief that victims thought the shooting was initially part of the movie, is a shocking example of how much power the big screen has to warp minds.

It’s also now come to light that Warner Bros paired the Batman movie with a trailer for a film which shows “a gangster with a machine gun shooting up people in a movie theater from behind the big screen.”

Once again, before we even know anything about the 24-year-old shooter James Holmes, the establishment media and leftist political operatives are rushing to denounce gun rights as the culprit behind the tragedy, once again failing to address the underlying root cause – a sadistic, death obsessed culture that allows young men to be drawn into bizarre fantasy worlds where violence is seen as an alluring adventure.

    BLAST FROM THE MEDIA PAST:

    In the Frank Miller book “The Dark Knight Returns” (published in late 80s or early 90s I believe),

    There is a theatre shooting propagated by a crazy guy named Arnold Crimp.
    Arnold is an uptight religious type who chooses a porn theater playing the film “My Sweet Satan” after losing his job at a record store, where he tells a customer about Led Zeppelin’s alleged Satanic lyrics before breaking her record into pieces.

    Fortunately in the comic, the shooter is not wearing riot gear and is armed with only a six chambered handgun. He is able to kill only a handful of people. But the event is only one of many in troubled Gotham city.
    ___________

    In the SAME BOOK, there is another shooting, less fatal, involving a depressed man who dresses as the Batman before going into a diner with a loaded gun, and an eater shoots him just like the incident this week where an elderly man shot internet cafe robbers.
    ___________

    The book seemed a bit heavy on violence, but Miller mentions Chicago — ironically, gangs run it today.
    Miller also predicted that the Twin towers would be a target, used twin towers in a Two-Face story.
    He predicted that guns would become less useful, and that citizens would be expected to respond responsibly to false flags and nuclear exchange.

    He predicted an EMP attack that would take out the electricity in the USA.

    ____________________________________________

    CORTO MALTESE:

    Corto Maltese (whose name is possibly derived from the Venetian Corte Maltese – Courtyard of the Maltese, today Corte Contarini del Bovolo, next to Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo) is a laconic sea captain adventuring during the early 20th century (1900-1920s). A “rogue with a heart of gold”, he is tolerant and sympathetic to the underdog.

    NO IT’S NOT, IT WAS ON MONDAY !

  2. Correct! And 20+ years ago is when the psychological community started pushing giving the mild altering pills to younger and younger patients. Thos drugs have some very harmful possible negative side affects which include suicidal homicidal mental states. Just read the long form drug print out on any of those psychotropic drugs and you will see the possible negative side affects listed.

    It’s a good bet that Colorado shooter was on one of those psychotropic drugs!

    That’s my theory as well Robert. We need to go after Hollywood and shut down the drug industry.

  3. I agree that the culture is sick. I agree that the sick culture is responsible. I don’t completely agree with the emphasis on Hollywood.

    First, Hollywood is only one part of the very sick culture. Second, there have always been violent movies although I suppose they are getting somewhat worse. I just remember very violent movies from my youth more than 30 years ago. Violent movies are not new.

    Our culture is very sick in so many ways. Unemployment, lack of economic opportunity, and many other factors are responsible. I agree legal drugs are responsible.

    By the way, the government is teaching that this kind of violence is OK as we incite violence in other countries, fire missiles at weddings and funerals, etc. Of course, I have seen the video where the helicopter slaughtered people in Iraq who were basically just standing around doing nothing harmful. The helicopter kept firing at a man who was on his hands and knees crawling and at a van acting as an ambulance.

    I would tend to blame the bad example set by government more than movies.

    Yeah, but things are getting a lot worse. Not only has the shooter taken inspiration from a Batman comic, but that same shooter likely watches Criminal Minds and all the other CBS crap. Deadline Hollywood Founder Nikki Finke will be pointing fingers at CBS in any rant she publishes.

    Violence in movies is way more rampant and insidious than thirty years ago. There are way more movies being made and way more cable and satellite channels than there ever was. The saturation is far greater since the eighties than ever. Kids at a younger and younger age and for longer periods of time are exposed to media propagated violence.
    It is a major factor…not the only factor, but a growing factor.

    Norway’s confessed mass murder Anders Behring Breivik testified April 19 “that he sharpened his aim beforehand by playing the video game ‘Call of Duty: Modern Warfare’ for hours,” reported USA Today April 20; while also noting how “Breivik, 33, said he also prepared for his attacks by playing ‘World of Warcraft for 16 hours a day while living with his mother.” For instance, after training with the aid of these popular video games, Breivik said during his trail that his first shots pushed him into what “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare” calls a “fight-and-flight” mode that this gunman said “made it easier to continue killing.”

    What the hell were a three month old and a six year old doing at the premiere of a PG13 rated movie?

    When you consider a young mind exposed to this type of film…future killers in training,

    It will be interesting to see what movies, music, television shows, and video games this young man was into it.

    Recent media says the killer died his hair red and was trying to imitate the Joker or another villain.

    Just look at what Batman did to Alex when he was jumping around the neighborhood acting like a freak as the Joker.

    AND ALWAYS JUST BEFORE THE SENATE HEARS A BILL OR TREATY ON GUNS.

  5. A huge storm approaches. Are you ready?

  6. I think the UN has something to do with this… there has been a rise in random public shootings since the general public found out about the UN gun treaty. The one in chicago where like 40 people got shot, the was a guy that walked into a bar recently and opend fire, and now this. there wont be any proof but it just seems really coincidental that the government is pushing for mass gun control and there are random shootings popping up all over the place. Whether the UN or the US gov is involved or not, they will use this to get rid of our guns.

    also their frustration at the failure of their guantanamo patsy
    blowing up a busload of israeli tourists trying to blame Iran.

    the main issue ought to be more people were killed
    because people WERENT armed to be able to defend themselves,
    but the SOB’s in controlled media do the false-flag psyops instead.

  7. No conspiracy theory
    No terrorist plot
    No Mk Ultra
    No CIA patsy

    Just another young psychopath that wanted to
    steal the spotlight, playing the lead role as
    the villain. Now his name will be on the billboard
    for everyone to see!

    Oh, and you don’t have to be a magician to enter through a fire escape.

    wrong…this guy was likely a targeted individual that took enough shit

    from his gang stalking perps and finally lashed out…this does happen

    all. the. time.

  8. Stories like these are as old as the USA. When Red Indians, Negros, Vietnamese, Afghans, Iraqis, Libyans civilians get slaughtered, the yanks normally lord the killers as heroes.

    No doubt the boring dribble that blames the NWO and criminal off shore cartels will be dragged out again on Prison Planets. Its your typical abdication of responsibility for US society.

    The truth about US society keeps of slapping you in the face and you keep on pointing fingers else where.

    The NWO order is no more to blame than guns. Its the US people who let these things happen and its the US people who can stop it.

    The US defines callous selfishness. Historically no matter who gets elected, its the same old same old. Because no US citizen can responsibly manage power without feeling the need to exploit and abuse others.

  9. Why is it the same group creating the violence in entertainment also has their goons running around advocating gun control? Seems like a problem, reaction, solution to ensure they have absolute control. Taking guns away is the line in the sand and they know it.

    Common and civil law are on their way out.
    Canon and Talmudic law is coming the forefront, yet again.

    That is why law is so seemingly now draconian and…unfair.

  10. The U.S. promotes violence all over the world with its drone attacks and massacres. We’ve been spreading terror for the last 11 years. Our movies and video games glorify blood and gore. I believe this guy was a mind-controlled patsy who was used to help implement the UN gun grab. First the false flag Bulgaria bus bombing, now this. I wonder what they’ve got planned for the Olympics.

    Jscholl Reply:
    July 20th, 2012 at 11:07 am

    Hopefully it is just an overreaction where the London “Olympic security forces” shoot down a plane of athletes because they can’t identify the plane or the pilot.

  11. Not sure about the MKUltra thing but they’ll sure use him to advocate gun control.

  12. Did anyone try and resist this madman? When people act like sheep they get slaughtered like sheep. From most accounts there were at least 60 people minimum in the theater, if they would have all rushed him and taken him down, I feel far fewer people would have been killed and injured. When you run and try and hide you make it easy for a sicko like this to kill you. I know they will be attacking our gun rights over this, but if 1 person was carrying (legally) maybe they could have saved to day.

    Good point. Anyway, can’t you see them now rolling out the TSA to movie theaters and or at least metal detectors? If so, add this as another place to stay away from, if you don’t already.

    Sure they’ll use it as an excuse. But really, this clown came through the front door?

    No need for TSA, just lock the back doors to entry (not exit – in case of fire)

    Or Arizona carry – punk would have got greased immediately.

    Jscholl Reply:
    July 20th, 2012 at 11:11 am

    I’m sure somebody tried to resist. Somebody likely had to tackle him or else the shooter would have killed a lot more people.

  13. Maybe our culture is sick because we don’t have enough entertainment. We don’t have enough pleasure. Let’s stop focusing on the pain, disease and disaster and start promoting passion ♥

  14. A Patsy I tell ya, a Patsy. I don’t beLIEve anything THEY tell us.

  15. Absolutely see them using this to expand the TSA’s power to interfere with our lives. In general, I believe that if most people would take the stance with the government to “STOP PROTECTING ME!!!”, we would be better off. I never asked anyone to be my protector, and prevent anything from happening to me…that is my personal responsibility (to protect my own…house, family, etc.). Maybe if the police would do their job of catching CRIMINALS and not collecting revenue than some of these occurences would be stopped before they happen, but to be a true policeman today you need to pull over mini-vans full of soccer moms and kids and give them tickets, harass anyone that is exercising their right of free speech, and enforce any of the thousands of laws that make no sense.

    reincarnation of the crusader, his title is “caped crusader”.

    in fact very similar to the masonic pun character “suleiman ben douid” in Mike Carrey’s LUCIFER series — a detective who breaks the rules and gets away with it due to money or connections or religious fervor lol… who knows.

  17. I would avoid the UK Olympics at all cost.

    this UN gun legislation is going to create even more victims??? these evil minds have no limit.

    So would I, but only cuz the Olympics is lame.

  18. Perhaps he was some prescription meds? That would have a bigger effect than watching a movie.

    But anyway, it irritates me when people start talking about making gun ownership illegal. Why bother, is what I usually tell them.

    Cocaine is illegal, driving drunk is illegal, killing people is illegal….did those things stop because there is a law about it? Yet, these stupid sheep somehow think if we made guns illegal, nobody would have one.

  19. I’m not an expert in politics nor will I even pretend to be, but I feel like our government should be ran using common sense. This shooting is a true tragedy and my heart honestly goes out to everyone who was injured/killed, but instead of showing compassion for 10 seconds, all these news companies and political figures care about taking away our 2nd amendment?! Since Obama “ingeniously” made the decision to shut down nine border patrol stations, you know damn well drug cartels are going to be continuously flowing in (even more so than they already are) and they don’t transport goods without weapons of their own…so what are we supposed to do in order to protect ourselves and our families?? Most shootings are conducted by people who have UNREGISTERED guns and decide to go psycho or get revenge or whatever the case may be, but the government doesn’t tell you that part. If they are as worried about gun control as they say they are, then they need to UP the security at border patrols AND have more people taking down these cartels and everyone who sells guns illegally. That’s common sense stuff, isn’t it? I’ll tell you one thing, they NEED to stop dismantling our constitution! They don’t have a clue as to just how fed up people really are, and I believe that’s why crime has gone up as much as it has. If you push someone into a corner, things will undoubtedly get ugly. The government just keeps taking more from people, even when there is nothing left to give, and it’s beginning to create public chaos. Obama needs to get his communist a** out of office ASAP, but I know Romney isn’t going to be any better, but at least Romney wasn’t raised by the most anti-america/communist SOB. I think Hollywood does play it’s part in the violence, but parenting plays just as big of a role. Kids these days see the violence in these movies and the people get to walk away unscathed, or are portrayed as the heroes. So like I said, I think kids sort of have that mentality, or that it’s “the cool thing to do”, but parents need to stress to them that Hollywood is exactly that….Fake. That they’re only MOVIES. I told my son if he ever wants to meet someone who did those acts, then I’ll take him down to the nearest prison so he can see just how much of a “badass, hero, boss, etc” that that person really is…behind bars. Welp, this turned into a damn novel, my apologies everyone! My point was that a lot people are at their breaking point, and the government NEEDS to stop undermining our constitution and taking away our freedoms. *End Novel*

  20. Now everyone run out and buy your twelve year old
    a copy of Bulletstorm, Killer 7, Soldier Of fortune, Manhunt, fallout,
    and any other violent video game you can think of, then
    scratch your heads when he snaps and kills innocent people!

    Combined with Red bull, mind altering drugs,everyday stress,violence in movies,
    and junk food. Thats a recipe do disaster!

  21. For fukssake Bloomberg is not a leftist he is a billionaire oligarch: his only political philosophy is making money and screwing normal people over. If he were a leftist you would be able to find evidence that he is for worker ownership of companies, workers’ rights, medicare for all, living wage laws, job guarantees, protection from outsourcing: but you can’t because he isn’t. Rather he is a goon who backed the Bowles-Simpson Catfood Commission, raising the age for Social Security, he called the plan to raise taxes, by a very minimal amount it might be added, on the wealthiest “class warfare”. Some “leftist.”

    the people shot up by Breivik were mostly kids belonging to the Workers’ Youth League (AUF) of the left-center Labour Party.

    It is the zionist-run oligarchs that are the powers behind any anti-gun movement. The pathetic excuse for the left in the US has absolutely no power whatsoever, so please stop with the Bircher propaganda.

  22. The movie is rated PG-13 and has nothing to do with MK-Ultra. Matter of fact The American people been under mind control forever killing people over money…. while the AGENDA was in plain sight right on their own dollar bill. ORDER OUT OF CHAOS….. SONYLEGEND.COM

  23. Word on the street is he was an angry jaded homosexual lover of Barry Soetoro.

  24. After any incident, éxperts crawl out to inform everyone why the would is not as perfect as they would want it and it is usually because we did not listen to them. Well! masters of the universe, let me inform you, your life is as fickle as others, the grim reaper will arrive anyway he wants, you may die peacefully on your bed while sleeping ,a glass pane from a delivery truck may behead you, fall into a vat of hot tar, debrained by your wife, you can;t tell, there are 6 billion ways you will meet your maker that is a gift. and none of them is pleasant. The homicidal freak obviously was very ill,well adjusted people do not kill for any reason. it has happened, and there is nothing that could have prevented it. This is life, you can argue all you like, no one really knows how life will end for them. For the useless British bleached maggot to be spouting garbage is insulting and maddening, How the hell he came to be on US tv is thanks to the corruptible nature of politics and business, How many US news parrot are in the UK primetime. Blame bribes and Murdoch. As for bloomberg, what do you expect, he is going to bribe someone to get his point across but will fail in trying to ban guns. I am not a fan of artillery but hey! guns are inert, its people who use them murderously that are to problem. I mean cars/trucks kill and seriously maim far more people everyday and effectively reduce the population every hour than all carnage in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya etc a day in the USA, But you do not hear fools calling for a ban of vehicles and sandals for every one. Yes! and use Oxen, wheel barrows for goods. The freak is sick,sick ,sick, this dude is like the dude from Sweden last year that kitted up and hunted down teenagers. You did not get the Swedes parrots trying to ban all guns and spouting garbage.
