Official News Thread - Misc To Replace CNN

CERN Scientists think they've found the Higgs Boson

The articles seems to switch between "we've found something like it" and "we've definitely found it most definitely", but regardless, pretty important news for science.

Ah, I'm so glad to see that here. I was so excited when I read about it, but there isn't a soul in my social circle that would know or care in the slightest. We owe a polite smattering of applause to those scientists among us who dedicate their lives to peeling back the layers of mystery enveloping our universe. ^_^

14 dead, 50 wounded in shooting at Colorado theater, police chief says

CNN) -- At least 14 people were killed and 50 wounded when a gunman opened fire during an early Friday morning screening of the new Batman movie at an Aurora, Colorado, theater, Police Chief Dan Oates told reporters.
The heavily armed suspect, who was wearing a bulletproof vest, was apprehended by police in a rear parking lot of the theater, Frank Fania, a police spokesman told CNN. The identity of the suspect has not immediately been released.

This is just sick. Why would this guy do something so awful?

Well, what did you expect? A big movie like the Dark knight debuts, and people who can't get in have fire arms. Notice this isn't the first time this has happened. The aftermath is pretty ****ed up if you ask me.

I heard about that.. I almost got a little sick when I heard about it on the news this morning I can't believe even an infant got shot. I can't believe we have people in this world that are so twisted that they would do a thing like this.

Forgive me for being skeptical but that article seems a bit fake

Well, it certainly isn't. It's a tragedy, and my condolences go out to everyone hurt and the families of those who were killed. It's really terrible that one can't even go to the movies without having to worry about that.

Also, and this is just a suggestion, but doesn't something like this deserve it's own thread? It doesn't really have a lot to do with the topic.

The man must've been mentally ill or something. They said it's no terrorist attack, so the guy must've just snapped and decided to go kill people or something. There's just really sick people out there.

That is really awful. I try to see the bright side in knowing the world still has good people in it, but then these kinds of stories pop up. Still, at least it mentioned people were trying to shield their family members from the bullets, so that helps restore the faith a little, but the real story overshadows it.

I heard it was 12 people that died and that 14 was a mistake

Nature has a twisted sense of humour, you see. 12 people, 14 people, it doesn't matter - it's still a horrible event.

I feel that this should get a thread of its own. But thats just messed up, if you can't be safe in a freaken movie theater, where can you be safe? Definately not your house.

Well, I have friends that live in the area of the shooting and they said the 6 year old who was shot died of their injuries from the news reports. I also think that this might start having armed police/security officers in the theaters from now on as well as having most theaters might stop doing midnight showings because it is dark outside, there is hardly anyone around since it is midnight thus anyone can easily sneak through the emergency doors. If they do not stop the midnight showings, more than likely they will have armed police and security roam around the outside of the theater, including the back where most of the emergecy exits are.

They'll probably have security, so now it will be impossible for people to sneek into other movies. But I prefer security over liberty. They'll be more strict for sure. I wouldn't be surprised if we'll end up having to go through metal detectors.

For anyone who hasn't seen the movie yet, due to the shootings in Colorado, Warner Bros. is considering canceling screenings for The Dark Knight Rises:

I figured here would be the best place to put this, since it relates to the movie.

I think giving some money to help out the families of the victims with the hospital/funeral costs would be a bit more practical.

If Warner Bros was smart they wouldn't cancel the screening for The Dark Knight Rise, over something that had nothing to with them.

Yes the shooting was poor timing but why should people who want to see it suffer because some person just decided to shoot people at the screening.

This, although Warner Bros are not morally obligated to do so.
