What the hell. If I didn't know about copycat killers I'd suspect that The Dark Knight Rises causes psychotic breaks and a desire to horde weapons.

And here I thought that posting in the wrong thread was something that only happened to me.

Why the hell would you tell the police you were on your way to murder someone?

That was nice of him, but still...

He was probably like "Oh, shit, they'll think I'm, like, a murderer guy! Officer; I only want to kill this guy, I apologize."

Why is he only charged with speeding and carrying a concealed weapon if he admitted to conspiring to murder somebody?

e: Apparently, this is criminal in the UK and Ireland but it's not conspiracy here unless two or more people are planning on doing it. What.

Conspiracy does kind of require that a number of people conspire about something. Otherwise it's just intent. So I suppose the real question is why he wasn't charged with intent to commit murder.

*Off topic*

I keep reading the title as "German" instead of "Gunman"

Now leaving all that existentialist angst alone (I think I covered it, albeit badly)...

Went to see the film the other day.  They had a trailer for Gangster Squad in it, which I think was toned down[1].  Didn't get a sense of personal danger (in the UK here, but that's not a good point to start arguing about), and no doubt there was a bit more interest in the film, but marginal.  (It was in one of the the joint-largest non-Imax screens in the multiplex.  It wasn't anywhere near packed[2], but then it was a virtually 'off-peak' time, not matched to the evening rush or even a just-got-out-of-work one.)


(Not really the place to discuss the following.  Spoilered due to the lower relevence, already having obfuscated true spoilers away...)
Spoiler (click to show/hide)


[1] The only obvious clip of "shooting people in a cinema" appeared to be a line of people firing at a flat surface, i.e. presumably from behind the screen and towards an audience, but that side was never shown...

[2]  I like being a few rows back from the front, middle, and there was nobody else on my row, a couple on the row in front and some in the ones even more frontwards.  Can't really say how packed it was, behind me, in the more traditionally-taken seats, because of the darkness when I first got in, eyes adapting properly only when walking along the row.

On topic, the showing I went to did not have the Gangster Squad trailer in it. I was looking for it, but alas.
