(506 posts)I haven't heard anyone mention the corporate profiteers that run Regal Cinemas as having a role in this tragedy. Why do they have ten kids out front shoveling popcorn and no one checking on the auditoriums? Why, when this shooter left the auditorium to get into his costume and get his weapons, and blocked open the emergency exit so that he could get back in, did no one come and shut that door?
This wasn't a random event. The shooter clearly had it all planned and I feel sure that he cased the theater at least once to see if his plan would work. He saw that no one watches the doors in this theater and proceeded.
The reason they dint watch the doors too closely to keep people from sneaking in and out is because they don't make much money on the admissions, the profits mostly come from concessions. So they don't bother to waste money on having some minimum wage usher keep an eye on the security doors. A simple alarm on the exit door would let them know someone had opened it and left it open and someone could have come to close it.
The shooter probably would have found somewhere else to do his deed, but these particular victims would have been saved if the 1% profiteers cared about anything other than making an extra $.
