Brannon LeBouef offers some of the best tactical commentary that I have yet seen on the Batman movie shooting in Aurora Colorado.
“Shotgun blasts, the smell of fast burning propellant, eyes burning from CS gas, the yells of children and gurgles of blood filled lungs crying out for help, eardrums pounding from the over pressure of 100 beating hearts, all while your mind is spinning while repeatedly screaming in your head: WHAT THE FUCK? WHAT THE FUCK? WHAT THE FUCK? Suddenly you realize what can’t be happening is actually happening. Right now. To you.
Now take a head shot from an elevated position at the top of the movie seats at a distance of approximately 28 yards, at a moving target that is firing at human beings and killing them as the lighting constantly changes since the movie is still playing, and the screen is flickering in the background. Wipe the tears from your eyes and snot from your nose due to the CS and line up your sights through the smoky CS and gunpowder haze. WAIT! Not yet, that little 12 year old girl just ran in front of your muzzle as you took up slack on the trigger because the last shot from the murderers 12 gauge peppered her calves, and all she can see is the red exit sign above the door. Almost took her head off. SNAP OUT OF IT! She just got shot in the back while you tried to figure this out. Take the shot. The barrel is swinging your way…..
Did your NRA basic pistol course cover all that? How about your state concealed carry class?”
