“People were running everywhere, running on top of me, like kicking me, jumping over me. And there were bodies on the ground… I froze up. I was scared. I honestly thought I was going to die.” recalled Christopher Ramos at the midnight premiere of Batman.
“The image in our heads is stuck in there. I still have the ticket right here and honestly, I’m never going to forget this night at all. Because it was the first time I saw something that was real. Like a real-life nightmare that was there, not dreaming of,”
“I’m with coworkers and we’re on the floor praying to God we don’t get shot, and the gunshots continue on and on, and when the sound finally stopped, we started to get up and people were just bleeding,” according to another theatergoer.
Among those killed in Aurora, Colorado was a hockey writer Jessica Ghawi, aka Jessica Redfield.
The tragedy hits close to home for those in the hockey business. She was involved with the website Busted Coverage, an intern at 104.3 FM a Denver radio station and also with the You Can Play Project.
“The thing that stood out to me most about Jessica was how sharp-witted she was, and funny at that,” per Sporting News NHL (National Hockey League) writer Jesse Spector speaking with People Magazine. “It’s what made following her on Twitter so much fun. She was amazingly enthusiastic about hockey, journalism and life in general.”
Hours after the Batman shooting in Aurora, Colorado, politicians started pushing for gun control.
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, “stand up and tell us what they’re going to do about” these shootings, in a demand to both Mitt Romney and Barack Obama.
Piers Morgan with CNN “America has got to do something about its gun laws. Now is the time,”
“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?” Asks Paul Joseph Watson, editor and writer for prisonplanet.com
If you ask me this then maybe I will do this… what do you think about that!?
In response to being asked by a reporter if Nancy Pelosi would release her own tax return even though recently she had been “adamant” in having Mitt Romney release his tax return.

See also this article on the ATF for the same threat to whistleblowers who also would even attempt to think about exposing corruption.
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors could be trying to legislate that “…everybody must get high”.
If you actually inside city hall, its okay to smoke medical pot. Likewise if you are on the street at a fair, festival or any other outdoor event that occurs on city property. What is not okay is smoking anything else.
Eric Mar, San Francisco Supervisor sponsored this proposal which is being considered in the city.
Obama’s campaign to get re-elected is accusing Mitt Romney of “launching a false attack” and in doing so, placing an image of untruthfulness or falseness over Romney.
However, according to the official White House transcript, Romney is correct in his statements.
Romney’s ad states “If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.” This matches the White House transcript, dated July 13, 2012 from Obama’s speech in Roanoke, Virginia.
Andrew Moore and his “pro-life walker” partner were praying the Rosary as they were walking route U.S 40 near Stilesville, in Hendricks County Indiana as they were approached from behind by a vehicle that ended up killing Moore.
The group had already walked from San Francisco and only had 600 miles to go before arriving at Washington, D.C.
Police indicate that it was simply an accident. There were no signs of alcohol or vehicular loss of control.
Moore was an A student, helped the homeless and had been on a mission trip to Mexico, helping the poor to build homes.
Traveling or working in Saudi Arabia? If not Muslim you had better learn how to behave as one during Ramadan or you will be expelled, according to Saudi authorities.
Saudia Arabia is a ultraconservative Sunni nation. It is home to Islam’s holiest religious site.
During the premiere of the new Batman movie, “The Dark Knight Rises”, a lone gum man opened fire. The shooting occurred at a suburban movie theatre in Denver, Colorado.
14 people have been killed, and at least 50 people are injured. A man is in custody.
Alex Padilla, California State Senator from the San Fernando Valley region of Los Angeles, wrote a bill (Senate Bill 1530) that would allow public schools easier access to release and distance themselves from teachers who abuse students sexually, physically or with drug related acts.
The bill’s initiative was brought about because of recent perverted behaviors perpetrated by Mark Berndt and Kip Arnold. The bills purpose was to allow schools to get rid of people like these who perform the acts that they did.
With Berndt and Arnold’s extra-curricular activities fresh on the minds of State Senators the bills process cruised through the State Assembly On Tuesday May 29, 2012 with a huge bipartisan support vote of 33-4.
The bill’s next stop, the 11 member Assembly Education Committee on June 27, 2012. The Committee is made up of 4 Republicans and 7 Democrats. Only 6 votes were needed for the bill to pass.
After heavy lobbying by the CTA (California Teachers Association), (the union representing California teachers) the voting breakdown was as follows.
All 4 Republicans and 1 Democrat voted to make it easier for schools to distance themselves from teachers who would sexually/physically or otherwise abuse students.
Voting no, was Democrat – Tom Ammiano of San Francisco and Democrat – Joan Buchanan of Alamo. The remaining 4 Democrats (Besty Butler of Los Angeles, Mike Eng of Monterey Park, Wilmer Amina Carter of Rialto, Das Williams of Santa Barbara) all refused to vote, which therefore allowed the bill to fail.
To some, this is unacceptable politics.
Dr Matthew Lin, an orthopedic surgeon, Republican and who has placed first in the June primary in Mike Eng’s neighborhood and who will be running against Mike Eng, relates that a summer period of grace for those teachers who are accused of sexual, physical or other abuse against children is “is unjustifiable in our society.”
Study result statistics that some may find shocking about gay and lesbian marriage.
Study #1. Findings from Sex in America: A Definitive Survey, by: Michael, Gagnon, Laumann, and Kolata, cites a study of homosexual male couples, that was conducted by gay researchers.
100% of homosexual couples had experienced infidelity during the first 5 years.
Study #2. Researcher findings based on a telephone survey found “…even committed homosexual relationships display a fundamental incapacity for the faithfulness and commitment that is axiomatic to the institution of marriage…”
Study #3. From Western Sexuality: Practice and Precept in Past and Present Times by M. Pollack that looked at male homosexuality. He found that “…”few homosexual relationships last longer than two years, with many men reporting hundreds of lifetime partners… Even in those homosexual relationships in which the partners consider themselves to be in a committed relationship, the meaning of ‘committed’ typically means something radically different than in heterosexual marriage.”
There will be “consequences” if you don’t “respect the chain of command” according the the head of the ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives).
To Republican lawmakers (Senators Charles Grassley and Darrell Issa in a letter to Acting Director B. Todd Jones) this “could be interpreted as a threat” to possible whistleblowers.
The message is “ominous” and “appears to be … a not-so-veiled threat telling (ATF employees) not to do what they did to expose Fast and Furious,” according to Issa.

The TSA (Transportation Security Administration) actually approved a course teaching 25 illegal aliens how to fly planes from a school owned by… another illegal alien. 6 of them actually went on to acquire pilot’s licenses.
Discovery of this was made by local police on a routine traffic stop of the owner.
The illegal alien owner held two FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) pilot licenses, also known as FAA certificates.
Chairman of the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Transportation Security, Rep. Mike Rogers finds this “… amazing. We have cancer patients, Iraq War veterans and Nobel Prize winners all forced to undergo rigorous security checks before getting on an airplane,…at the same time, ten years after 9/11, there are foreign nationals in the United States trained to fly just like Mohammed Atta and the other 9/11 hijackers did…”
