This sentence makes no sense to me at all.

First, he put the four month old on the floor while considering jumping over a balcony. While it is nice that he was concerned about breaking the child's neck, putting an infant on the floor, especially when mass hysteria happens, is probably not a very good idea.

Second, he realized his child was still in. He didn't want his children to lose both their parents. So he sent her in. Meaning there is still a possibility that the children will still lose one parent, as well as their own lives.

Third, while he was still safe outside with the rest of the people outside with the cops, HE LEFT THE FUCKING SCENE!

I think the priorities are a little screwed up. I mean, it's nice that you don't want your kids to not live without their parents, but come on. You kinda left your kids and girlfriend to die. I still believe he should have just left it at that he panicked and knows he did something wrong.

And also after watching the video, it's amazing that he can cry without tears.

EDIT: And apparently Piers Morgan was not paying too much attention during his interview with the couple

I didn't realize that this was the same woman who was helped out of the theater by the 19-year-old! That just makes Mr. Rohrs look that much worse.

I can't imagine how tragic this has been for that family. Could the shooter be charged with 13 counts of murder now, instead of 12?

Not according to that link.

Defense attorney Karen Steinhauser, a former prosecutor and current adjunct professor at the University of Denver, told The Associated Press that suspected gunman James Holmes, 24, will not face an additional charge as result of the miscarriage. She said charges in Colorado apply onto to those "who had been born and alive."

Wow. She'd just lost her father and now not one but two children? That poor woman has my prayers. All of them do. This is so overwhelmingly sad.

Right. In Colorado, homicide charges only apply to people who are living/were born alive. There will still be 12 victims.

Just a little update from the home front.

Life is getting back to normal. Every time I hear emergency vehicles come, especially at night, I think of the tragedy. We are getting back to normal.

This tragedy has sparked more debate on health care than on gun control here. So many of those hurt had minimal or no insurance.

I may go see the memorial for the tragedy. I may take a picture and post if there is interest.
