My condolences.
2. Go ahead
Patlippe ,   US   (07.20.12)
Come on why not accusing Iran or Hezbollah? It's easy to say it's them no ?
3. #2 you are an idiot!
David Masada ,   Montreal, Canada   (07.20.12)
Only an idiot would write crap like that when 14 innocent people are dead! You are probably one of those that thinks GW is responsible for 911. Pathetic!
4. #2 Your comment is disgusting! Period
Build baby build! ,   Raanana, Israel   (07.20.12)
My condolences to those families
5. to #2
miri ,   israel   (07.20.12)
No, it is not easy to say that this maniac was sent by Iran or the hizbalah. You have your own meshugaim who go on vengeful rages from time to time ! This is very sad indeed.
6. Terrorist acts are random.
Michael ,   California, USA   (07.20.12)
It can happen anywhere at any time, in the U.S. in Bulgaria, in Yemen, in Israel. We need to do our best to defend ourselves. Also, we cannot give up living to the fullest our normal lives, to stop going out and have fun. Nor should we start arming ourselves and carry guns when we go out or rifles on a beach. Trusting the professionals to stop terrorists is what we should do. Condolences to the families in Colorado and Israel. May they find consolation in knowing our lives will continue normally.

What the #@?@#$? is your problem?

jason white ,   afula, israel   (07.20.12)
is no need for a trial. Question him, then kill him. Too bad more people do not go around armed to stop these acts.
9. Prayers
Adam Neira ,   Paris, France   (07.20.12)
Prayers for the deceased and injured from this evil attack.
10. Ironic
Patlippe ,   US   (07.20.12)
For those who didn't get my comment. IT WAS IRONIC since most comments on other posts blame IRan and Hezbollah !
11. #6 Ignorant view of the whole mess
Josh   (07.20.12)
The professionals!? Most of the deaths in history were done by those you would call professionals. Fascism is alive and well and it has its share in the body counts. In Israel a terrorist only makes a few steps before armed citizens intervene. Visa versa, you would not last in their society with such a wimpy view. Now when you add up the body counts from war perpetrated by professionals, how do they compare? The problem in the US is that a stable society has been decayed. People turn to government and religion to protect them. Look at the Arab nations who turned everything over to a government that promotes terror or radical religious leaders. Think for yourself and your neighbors. More often than not the monsters can be thwarted by not created them. You want respect? There is no respect in lawlessness and shirking your own responsibility to control yourself and your society. Ask me about your wisdom, I dare you.
12. BBC World Service reporting.
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (07.20.12)
I heard this atrocious incident being reported extensively on the BBC World Service earlier today.It was given priority over the schedule.I couldn't help contrasting this to the way that the Burgas attack was reported;low-key and as a later item in the news summary.Yet the Burgas attack was a major terrorist attack at a well known airport. Also,the presenter immediately called the Denver attack terrorism and seemed quite upset when the Denver police stated that there doesn't seem to be any terrorist connection.Yet,the words terrorism,terrorist,etc are ones that never cross the BBC's lips when there are attacks in Israel or on Israelis and Jewish people abroad. The BBC and BBC World Service have a different standard when reporting on Israel,Israelis and Jewish people under attack. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
13. No. 12 Ian
NYC Girl   (07.20.12)
You're absolutely right on target with your comment about the BBC. It appears that whenever Israelis are the victims, the word "terrorism" seems to stick in the throats of some of those execrable BBC reporters. Yet they had no problem labeling the attack in Colorado as terrorism...even though it wasn't.
14. No. 10 Patlippe
NYC Girl   (07.20.12)
The reason why the comments blame Iran and Hezbollah for the terror attack in Bulgaria is because that's who the hell was responsible and even Pres. Obama agreed with Bibi Netanyahu as to who was behind it. But if it offends your sensibilities to have the Iranians accused of being terrorists...that's just too damned bad.
15. Great day for the NRA !
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (07.20.12)
Three cheers for the National Rifle Association and their successful campaign to make sure that any American civilian, no matter how crazy, has free access to military weapons. This American was simply expressing the NRA's official policy that all Americans have the right to go shoot as many people as they want with all the automatic machineguns they can buy and carry with them. A blessed day for the NRA. Three cheers for their protection of American rights to die with bullets in your heads at a movie theater. God bless the NRA, and keep the NRA bastards far away from Israel because here you need a license for a gun and nobody thinks it's unconstitutional or a threat to our rights and freedoms.
16. To Cohen from an NRA Member
The Prophetess ,   FL, USA   (07.20.12)
I am a Conservative Jewish-American Woman and a long-standing member of the National Rifle Association, and a CWP carrier in 3 states. You on the other hand,are an ignorant, media-fed liberal troll; undoubtedly you an oleh from NY, CA, or is it MA, who "got religion" and exported yourself and your leftist ideals to Eretz. Stay there you nudnik. And mind your manners.
17. #11 Josh, You want an NRA-style debate over 20 bodies?
Michael ,   California, USA   (07.20.12)
14 in Denver + 5 in Israel for funerals + 1 in Bulgaria. Do you want it right now, before we bury our Colorado dead? If you carry a gun, I am with you. I am armed and will shoot when a criminal or an anti-Semite will threaten me. I don't disagree with you when it comes to fascism and I am not a wimp. Write me your e-mail and we can take up a respectful discussion off line.

Danny ,   Canada   (07.20.12)
Dont blame NRA for some lunitic. You need a licence in USA and Canada to own firearms legally.
19. #15 you are an idiot
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (07.20.12)
If the people at the movie were similarly armed the gunman would have been able to kill so many and he would be dead. Stupid moron has no concept of the US Constitution.
20. Condolences and prayers
rebecca ,   Modiin   (07.20.12)
Stupid comments dont help.
21. No 10
MR   (07.20.12)
You are still an idiot and I am being gentle when I say this.
22. To: No. 15
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (07.20.12)
I think you are being a little unfair. The fact of the matter is that pretty much anyone who wants to purchase an automatic weapon -- or worse -- can by them illegally in every major city. They are not all that hard to find. It's not the legal weapons which create the problem; most licensed gun-owners are responsible individuals; it's the extraordinary number of illegal weapons which are available. I am not a big fan of the NRA, and I question their stance on the Second Amendment -- but there are far more illegal gun owners than there are licensed gun owners.
23. James Holmes' is a "Batman" !!!

24. To: #15
James N. ,   Madison, Ohio   (07.20.12)
You have no concept of the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights or the NRA stands for. Here are some statistics – there are 600,000 gun owners in the state of Wisconsin, 700,000 in Michigan, 750,000 in Pennsylvania and 1,500,000 in Illinois – in fact, a Gallop poll taken in 2011 shows that nearly 47% of Americans own a gun. One nutcase goes on a rampage and you jump up making statements you know nothing about. Oh by the way, did the members of Haganah, Irgun and Lehi have gun permits?

Susan ,   Kfar Saba   (07.20.12)
I dont know if Colorado has a death pnalty, but dont worry. This guy will never get out. When Colorado gives a life sentence they mean it. He'll never get out.
26. Let's blame this too on Iran!
Avi ,   NYC, USA   (07.20.12)
Why not?
27. This will serve Obama's scuttling of the Second Amendment
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (07.20.12)
As the march toward a totalitarian police state moves forward at breakneck speed.
28. Brian Cohen # 15
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (07.20.12)
Nobody is more against gun crime than the NRA. It is extremely difficult to legally buy any type of automatic weapon here. There is a lot of red tape and a $200 transfer tax per weapon and those weapons are not cheap to begin with. If the Jews in Europe would have had an NRA history could have been different. It never ceases to amaze me how many Jews fall for the myth that gun control will make you safe. It will only make you a victim. Dictators love gun control because it puts you at their mercy. The 2nd ammendment was put in place to protect the people against government tyranny. You sound like a mouth piece for Sarah Brady and Handgun Control.
29. @ NYC Girl
Aharon ,   Holon, Israel   (07.20.12)
What are you talking about? Of course the shooting in Colorado was a terrorist attack. Just because the shooter has no immediate ties to some muslim terrorist organisation does not mean he's not a terrorist. Shooting at innocent people by it's very definition is a terrorist attack.
30. The shooter who was a medical student must have been
Rivkah   (07.20.12)
subjected to some sort of mind control devices as described in Texe Marrs' "Project L.U.C.I.D." Taking control of a person's mind to cause the person to do something horrific for a political cause (scuttling of the Second Amendment for example) is my guess about what caused the shooter to go off.
