It's the same problem with never showing or editing old Loony Tunes that have racial stereotypes. It's a systematic denial of bad things that have happened. With that attitude it is no wonder that so many people get caught up in Good Old Days.

Knew he was going to get caught, too. Real curious as to what he thinks he was trying to prove.


Might also explain he had all that body armor/etc but didn't really resist arrest (as far as I know). You'd think he would bring that stuff along solely for a shootout with the police, unless he thought someone in the theatre had a gun to fire back.

For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

From the report I heard he was apprehended next to his car. I don't know for certain that he just plain surrendered, or if he was wounded before he could do anything, but I'd probably of heard something if he shot at any police.

Hmm, considering he shot up a movie theater, it would seem as if he wanted to go out with a bang. Also, heard something from where? Do we have more secret government types in this thread?

Caught. Did not resist arrest, from reports. Claimed to be "The Joker", under initial police questioning. After all, the Joker got caught by police too. Hope this yahoo wasn't crazy enough to implant a bomb in his stomach.  :-\

Dude, wrong color! Should've said "Red Hood" if he wanted to pose as a Batman villain like that.

I'm sorry, painted red? Not dyed? Painted, like he took a brush and put red paint on his hair?

He was apprehended by the police at his car without a fight. His motives are still unclear. The general suspicion over here is that the Joker thing was either misunderstood or conjecture. That link is a pretty comprehensive source, as long as you don't mind reddit.

Naw, radio report. The chief of police released a statement a few hours ago, and I heard it live. Mostly reiterated what Red King's been saying.
