Frankly, it’s absurd that public businesses providing a routine public service should need to hire security guards. We’re not talking night clubs or concerts, where people can be expected to get drunk and fight.
Holmes could have just as easily attacked in a crowded restaurant, Little League game, or train car. Should those be required to hire armed goons as well?
Sometimes crap happens. So long as we live in a free society, we can’t prevent every attack of that type, nor should we go to extreme measures to do so. Time to lock him up in a secure mental asylum or (if found guilty) give him a death sentence and move on.
The shooting was disgusting enough. The blame game makes the situation even more sickening.
