Exactly! This is not the time to be comparing parenting techniques and the "well I would NEVER" crap, b/c the truth is NO ONE is going to be harder on those parents then themselves and the ONLY thing we should be doing for them is giving them support. 

 Seriously it wasn't porn it was Batman, I feel awful for all the victims they did nothing wrong.

The whole thing is twisted.

I live on the south side of Aurora. I can't wrap my head around why a 24 yo would do something like this. I also can't understand why anyone would take young children to a midnight movie.

The whole thing feels too much like Columbine. I still keep my kids home on April 20th. Just can't do it.

Well, the kids that were there are on summer vacation so it's not like they were going to be tired at school the next day, so cut those parents some slack. Kids are fans of Batman and movies the same way adults are.

The situation itself is terrible as a whole. I'm sure everyone who was witness to this event is wishing they had stayed home, those parents included. You've never made a midnight run for milk with one of your kids? You must be a saint ;)

I'm not here to judge any other parent or their choices. I don't understand why young children  would go, but my heart goes out to those parents having to live with that decision for the rest of their lives. Guilt is a hard thing to live with and I wouldn't wi**** on anyone.

I remember exactly what I was doing when I heard about Columbine. I was driving home from my son's 1 yr check up and heard it on the radio. I remember he was crying, but when I started to cry (and I don't cry much) he went completely silent. THis feels too much like that for me.

Also Jackie, I get it. I'm not supposed to judge them but you can judge me. What the hell ever. I'm no saint and never said I was. Did your husband spend the morning calling every person he manages (75 people) to make sure they were okay? Mine did. Did you spend the day fielding phone calls from friends and family across the nation making sure you were okay? I did.

Only you can judge. Got it.

I didn't judge you. I merely shared my opinion which is what I assumed you were doing.

A single comment does not equal judgment.

I'm sorry you had a bad day and I hope things get better for you.

Right and my single comment didn't equal judgment, but somehow you were able to get it there.
Your little happy face smiley next being sarcastic and calling me a saint was what exactly?

I only shared my opinion also.

Like I said before, I get it. You are the only one who gets to judge.

And like I said, I hope things get better for you. I really do.

 It's a tragedy lets not make it harder on the victims than it already is by passing judgement about the kids age.  When my son was young I took him to see South Park movie and believe me I was beyond embarassed by this faux pas, I had no clue how it would be.  But this is Batman, not anything like the trash talking movie I took my son too.  All these poor victims would do anything to undo this day.
