I think it is truly sad when people have to be scared to go to the movies. My heart truly goes out to those involved in and affected by the tragedy in Aurora, Colorado. It is truly sad (and terrifying) when people can't go to a movie without fear of being shot and killed. I know that it will be a great while before me or my children set foot in a movie theater again. I can't for the life of me wrap my head around the fact that a man could decide (as in making a conscious thought to commit this crime) to just walk into a crowded movie theater and open fire on a group of innocent moviegoers who wanted nothing but to enjoy America's greatest past-time for a couple of hours. I don't know what could have happened in that man's life that made him snap like that. But my heart doesn't only go out to his victims, my heart goes out to him as well. I was so saddened by the news coverage of all these vibrant people with their whole lives ahead of them who had those very same lives cut short in an instant. I don't think movie going will ever be the same. All we can do is pray that God will have mercy on that young man's soul and that those affected by this mass murder will be healed in both body (for those who were injured) and spirit (for those who were injured and those left behind by those who were murdered).
