Some lawyers (female) were on the TV advocating for 'real' security screenings at theaters.

How unutterably sad that the biggest 'free' country in the world needs to screen it's students in school and it's theatre patrons for dangerous weapons.
And even sadder that most of the free people don't see this as a problem.

That's why I laugh and feel disgusted at the same time when politicians and their fan clubs start screaming "liberty" and "freedom" go police state!!!
There isn't a security measure, law or prohibition of any kind that would have stopped crazy boy. All the gun free zones, gun control, metal detectors and security already in place have yet to stop a mass shooting, in fact the more we focus on it and try to prevent it the more it seems to happen yet we continue to call for more.
But they WILL use it to create a new security task force/division....at the cost of BILLIONS. God damn metal detector/security companies can't WAIT for that to happen. They probably creamed their pant's when they herd the news.
The advocates of this are either stupid as all fuck, or they are looking to get a pay day out of it. I'm leaning towards the latter.

I estimate it was 1968 when America decided it needed to be restrained with chains and bars. A century before, in the midst of our Civil War, the President walked about town and visitors were welcome at the White House without much scrutiny or inconvenience.
So what changed? The News.

Imagine pulling a gun on a theater of armed patrons.
I usta piss judges off when I reminded victims that domestic violence injunctions are made of paper, and a poor shield against a bullet.
You just gave me a vision of a Saturday Night Live skit:
A lone gunmen mounts the stage of a movie theater, brandishes his weapons, and proclaims everyone is going to die...
...whereupon instantly everyone in the theater - including the 6-month old babe in mommy's loving arms - stands as one and starts blasting away at the violator with their Thompsons.
Then they effortlessly sit back down without a care, grab their popcorn, pops, and gummy bears, as the movie begins...

Have they done it at the malls yet?
It might have started with Kennedy in '63, or maybe even Roosevelt after Pearl Harbor.

So, pre-security. from what we have learned, the perp buys a ticket, enters the theater (theatre for you foreigners), sits a spell, exits the theater via one of the emergency exits, leaves the door ajar, gets his gear, re-enters the theater with his stuff, and proceeds to hose down his fellow movie goers.
Post-security, the perp buys a ticket, goes through the full body scanner, then the pat down, then enters the theater (theatre for you foreigners), sits a spell, exits the theater via one of the emergency exits, leaves the door ajar, gets his gear, re-enters the theater with his stuff, and proceeds to hose down his fellow movie goers.
What has changed?
More freedom lost to big gummint.

"It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

You would think that they would hook up with 7/11 mini-marts first.
