Aurora, Colorado

My thoughts are with all of those who were involved in the shooting in Aurora. Also, I'm glad that my two cousins are safe. My cousin Philip lives in Aurora and luckily he works all night and wasn't at the premiere. My other cousin Angie moved back here a little over a year ago from Denver and would have went to that premiere given that it was right down the road 

from her previous apartment. 

On a related but other note, what is with everyone saying that the media is taking it easy on this James Holmes guy? Memes out there saying that if he were a Muslim he would have been considered a terrorist. If he were black he would have been called a thug. Complaints out there that they should be giving him a hard time and not talking about his PhD. 

Number one: can't people just stop being so SELFISH and realize that twelve people were killed and over seventy wounded. OVER SEVENTY FUCKING PEOPLE. One of the victims a six year old girl. So fuck your racist card and fuck your religious profiling. So many people died and many more seriously wounded and their lives will never be the same. Turn your focus on the well being of the victims, not the guy who did it and what fucking race he was and what religion he belonged to.

Number two: the media has talked about his PhD because he was smart. It took some meticulous planning to do what he did. However, that's not the main subject and they aren't taking it easy on him. Today I was listening to talk radio and they called him a "disgusting, sick piece of garbage". Sounds pretty harsh to me. He IS a terrorist, that was his intention.
