  • On the 20th of July 2012, James Holmes walked into the Century 16 Movie Theatre in Aurora, Colorado for the premier of Batman - The Dark Knight Rises.
    Around 20 minutes into the movie he walked outside the emergency exit to his car, geared up in ballistic armour & equipped himself with a full load out of firearms.
    He would walk back through the emergency exit & shoot up the theatre which resulted in 12 people dying & 70 people going on to be injured.

    Moved to Denver in 2012, and my roommate was/still is a huge Batman fan. We decided to go to the midnight showing of the movie (him, his girlfriend, and I). My roommate wanted to go to the aurora theatre, because he always said you would get bed bugs at the downtown theatre, with it just being dirty. His girlfriend picked me up, and we were gonna meet him at the theatre when he got off work at his resturaunt. We got to the theatre, and pulled up early so we could get the drinks and food for when he got there, so we wouldn’t miss the movie. As we were walking up, my roommate texted saying “I just got stuck rolling silverware, and don’t want to miss a second of the movie, so just come to the Denver theatre”. So we went to the Denver theatre, watched the movie, and went home and passed out at like 3am. I was off the next day so I slept in late, and that was that. I woke up the next morning with 30 missed calls from my whole family. I still didn’t know what had happened, until I called them back and they said turn on the tv. Every year since then I’ve gotten the “photo memory from a year ago” Facebook notification which reads “Going with Nate to see Batman whoop some candy ass at midnight” and it always gives me chills. Because he had to roll silverware, we switched theatres last second. Life is wild
    Edit: I keep seeing questions on what rolling silverware is, and realized the term might be know mainly if you worked as a server. You take a fork and a knife, roll it up in a napkin, and that's it. You do it before shifts and after to keep a nice stock of silverware at your ready.

    Last movie I ever saw in theaters, my best friend was there, he's okay physically but not mentally. We both went to midnight premiers in different states, we talked about how excited we were. He lost his phone in the stampede and I heard about the massacre as soon as I got home and spent all night thinking he was dead. His brother was injured and never able to play college baseball again and now is a dying alcoholic.

      @The world is mine in 2o21 / Not true. You can have some of the best parents in the world and still end up this way. And when i say best parents i mean the ones who discipline you when u are wrong and praise you for doing good. Sometimes ppl just are into violence or have mental health issues. You never know what someone has going on in their head. Look at most parents lately that are killed by their kids. It's bc they told their kids no they can't have something of go somewhere but these kids feel entitled lately and it's bc the government won't even let us raise or discipline or kids anymore. You got kids that constantly call the police on their parents for taking away their phone and in one case i saw they actually took the dad to jail and the mother got custody. It's crazy. So parents are afraid to be able to do what they think is best. So if anything blame the system. I remember going to juvenile for disrespecting my aunt who raised me or not opening my door, they took it off the hedges.

      It's not fair to blame the therapist or the psychiatrist. You can tell from the story that the psychiatrist had a hunch that he was dangerous; she even had a colleague who specialized in violent potential talk with Holmes. The problem is that it's not that hard to fool behavioral health professionals if that's your goal. We aren't psychic and although we do our best to diagnose illness appropriately and watch for suicidal and homicidal risks, intelligent psychopaths can fool us too. People also need to understand that every state has different rules for what constitutes the criteria for a temporary Psychiatric hold on a person, and it is rarely as simple as the provider saying "let's hold that person for 3 days." My heart goes out to the doctor a day the therapist who were involved and I suspect blamed themselves unfairly. Nothing but suffering all around.

      Where I was there would be people periodically checking all the emergency exits to make sure that there was nothing suspicious going on. I don't know if they had any weapons other than the heavy duty flashlight they were using to inspect the doors but if someone did try something they probably would've gotten their skull caved in.

    The most eerie thing about Jessica Redfield's story is that a month before the Dark Knight shooting, she was at the Toronto mall shooting and she wrote in her blog that she felt a very uneasy, sickening feeling which made her step outside of the food court at the mall. Seconds later the mass shooting happened in the food court. When she made her way outside after the mass shooting, that's when she tweeted about the guy dressed as Batman who was charging tourists to take pictures. A month later, she becomes the victim of another mass shooting at the premiere of a Batman movie over 1,000 miles away. If that is not Final Destination-like, I don't know what is. So tragic.

    I worked as a maintenance supervisor/usher at a local movie theater years after this happened. But when the new Joker movie was coming out, the managers were not fucking around, and constantly stressed to the workers about the possiblity of a shooting. No costumes were allowed. We even gathered everybody to the projector room just to discuss methods to alert people to evacuate and how to block off neighboring theaters if possible so they wouldnt get shot up. The managers were even thinking about hiring local police officers to be on the grounds. One manager was working for the theaters when this event happened and was probably the most tense for the Joker release.
    Thank the lord all that happened was the release of an astounding movie and nothing else. But the impact of this event alone has shifted the movie going experience on a whole new level its insane.

Violence is characterized by really high levels of emotion, which you see in Holmes notebook, whereas some of the most difficult and common schizophrenic symptoms are blunted emotions (flat affect) and depression. While the shadowy figures he describes are super common hallucination for those with the illness, he was extremely young to be experiencing them, making it even more unlikely.

With about maybe 2 minutes left to go in the movie, someone from the front of the theater gets up out of their seat and starts sprinting to the exit door that leads out to the parking lot. This freaked a lot of people in the theater out and you could hear people start to gasp and mumble to themselves. People started getting up and moving to the exit and many missed the last scene. Nothing ended up happening and that person who sprinted was probably scared, but unusual behavior spooked everyone out because there was a lot of speculation that a shooting would happen again, due to the Joker character

      Sometimes people are clever enough to deceive mental health professionals enough to manipulate a conclusion. E.G, "patient scores low on psychometric test therefore they are not a threat". When really they are.. Obviously its not thst simple and there are also likely other reasons why people slip through the net. As was said, it's rare. Imo not enough ppl have tests for things like mental health conditions. M.H conditions are obviously nothing to do with psychopathy/ sociapathy etc but still important for peoples more general wellbeing.

I was upset and mad at them amd went to see it by myself in a different theater. Halfway through the movie my phone just kept vibrating from my mom textimg amd calling me. She didn't say anything, just asking if i was okay. I said I was fine amd that was it. After the movie I walked out amd there's a cop car parked in front of the theater. Mind you, I was at least half an hour away from the Century theater. I get home amd see the news and I start freaking out. My friends were talking about going to Aurora because one of our friends had moved to Aurora and she was talking them into going to a theater up there. I was freaking out until morning when I got the news that they had decided not to go. Craziest 12 hours of my life.

    This story is honestly one of the craziest events, in terms of the details and how the crime was performed. It’s a story that sticks to you. As a theater was a always a family friendly place to forget about the world and enjoy another on screen. Now, it feels like every other outing to a theater I get half way through the movie before the thought pops in my head of “what if there is a shooter/ shooting about to happen”. “Where would I go and what would I do”…

He said that he ended the call after 9 seconds because nobody was on the line. But before that he mentions that he had wireless headphones. If he was using the phone to make the call while connected to Bluetooth, or he was using Bluetooth headphones while the call audio was coming from the phone, then he wouldn't hear the person from the help line.

      Bluetooth in 2012 didn’t have your phone play music AND make calls. Only calling....his IPod was probably connected (maybe if he had iPhone, but tech wasn’t there yet) via Bluetooth.
      Soooo your original comment confused me so much? you’re saying if he didn’t have his music playing on Bluetooth then he would’ve heard the call? Maybe he had two devices (IPod) (Phone). Maybe he didn’t start the music yet when he was on the phone. Either way, 9 second phone call is too quick, a missed call is about 30 sec. This animal made his decision in those quick 9 seconds.

    Shame on people blaming his psychiatrist. He is a fairly intelligent man, I’m pretty sure with all of his planning even if he had still seen her he would have not told her about his plan. There are fine lines in the mental health field and like we’ve seen with Britney Spears there are only drastic measures to be taken by loved ones to stop someone who is mentally ill. He was the one who did this, not any of his doctors.

Me and my family were supporting a girl who had lost her boyfriend that had jumped in front of her to take a bullet and save her life. We supported her with some supplies for her entering college and it was as well so surreal witnessing someone who had witnessed that event herself and suffered such a loss. Its changed my life and i hope and pray the victims families and loved ones continue to stay healthy and strong to this day.
