The Tables Have Turned.....
Normally, I kiss DH (a deputy) goodbye as he leaves for work and I tell him "Stay safe. Come home." This afternoon, as I heading out the door, he said those words to me. (I work at a movie theater.) That just hit me in such a way, since when do people have to fear going to the movies?

It's so horrible and tragic. I keep thinking about one woman who died, who had just survived a shooting at a mall in Toronto, I think.
LL, and everyone, stay safe.

This issue was completely beside the point of the shooting. If he shot up a theater playing 'Brave', no one would have mentioned anything negative about having kids there. But this was an extremely loud and violent movie, and at midnight, which is inappropriate to bring children to in any case. It doesn't suddenly become okay to have had a 3 month old baby in a loud theater that could possibly blow an infants ear drums just because something else tragic happened. Of course, it also doesn't lessen the tragedy that occurred, it just happened to bring up the point about what movies/times are and aren't appropriate for children.
Fair enough. I hadn't really thought about it that way. I guess the point I was trying to make is i heard several people online (not on the nest but other websites, mainly facebook) say that the parents "deserved" what happened to their children because they took their kids there. I think they probably did not demonstrate the best judgement by bringing their kids to that movie, but I also don't think that it meant that they deserved to have their baby killed/wounded, whatever.
I know that you're not saying they deserved it, and I definitely agree that if it had been Brave, Shrek, or some other child appropriate movie we wouldn't be hearing about it. I just don't think that one bad decision that those parents make should be used to refocus blame from the killer to the parent.
Yeah, bad judgement or not, no one deserves what happened. That's pretty messed up to even suggest that. I don't care if they drug their kids out of bed on a school night to watch a porno flick, that certainly doesn't mean those kids, or even the parents, deserve to get shot.
