One Year Later, We Remember Aurora!

The faces of victims in the horrible shooting at an Aurora movie theater.

Update: Two survivors are planning on getting married on the day of the American shooting to show that the madman who shot them can't stop their love and they thank those who kept them in their prayers.

Kristin Davis and Eugene Han will marry on the day after the shooting rampage.

Of course we here at Journal de la Reyna wish Mr. and Mrs. Han well wishes on their journey. They deserve happiness in the face of a horrible tragedy.

On Friday July 20, 2012, a madman went into a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado. The premiere of DC Comics The Dark Knight Rises was the highly anticipated Summer blockbuster.

The movie was going to generate nearly $1 billion in sales revenue. That Thursday was the night that hundreds of fans would camp out at their local movie theaters to see the premiere.

They had lines of people and tickets for midnight showings were sold out.

That Century 16 in Aurora was the scene of the one of the worst mass shootings in American history.

James Holmes, a young man suffering from chronic schizophrenia and constant rejection plotted and proceeded to carry out an attack on innocent movie goers.

As he entered the movie theater, he wasn't detected by movie ushers. He managed to get into one of the mass showing theaters. Holmes in a nonchalant fashion threw tear gas into the stands and then opened fire upon movie goers. The movie goers thought it was a joke and didn't know it was the real thing until the screaming started.

In this shooting, Holmes managed to kill 14 people and injure over 70 people. Holmes would later try to evade police capture. But it took a few eyes to spot the man as he was preparing to leave the state.

James Holmes the Aurora movie shooter.

Holmes was arrested. He confessed to the crime and also told the police that he booby trapped his home with massive explosives. The jurisdictions of Denver, Aurora and Glendale along with the ATF had to use weapons specialists to disarm all the traps he laid out.

If the traps weren't detected, many others would have died in a massive explosion.

That day I was off and I woke up to seeing ongoing news coverage of this tragedy. I thought to myself that the rise of RIGHT WING EXTREMISM continues in the age of President Barack Obama.

Holmes was charged with capital murder. His trial will begin soon. But it's often delayed because of the tendencies of delusional behavior by Holmes. The therapist who saw Holmes is under fire. Under the HIPPA law she wasn't able to discuss his problems. Despite even a valid threat he would of been if it was carried out, his therapist allowed it to happen.

The name of the victims are to be remembers tomorrow in Aurora.

Jonathan Blunk, age 24 Alexander J. Boik, age 18 Jesse Childress, age 29 Gordon Cowden, age 51 Jessica Ghawi, age 24 John Larimer, age 27

Matt McQuinn, age 27 Micayla Medek, age 23 Veronica Moser-Sullivan, age 6 Alex Sullivan, age 27 Alexander C. Teves, age 24 Rebecca Wingo, age 32

The families of the victims are pleading to Congress to get gun control back on the table.

I knew that since the Tucson shooting, the president didn't act on this. He pushed it aside because he feared the National Rifle Association and the Republicans would push this issue to the White extremists and doom his chances at reelection.

President Barack Obama hugs victims of Aurora shooting in 2012.

President Barack Obama and then Republican nominee perennial candidate Mitt Romney had expressed sorrow and outrage about the situation.

Both offered condolences and sympathy to the families of the victims. They've promise that justice will be done if there were ways to stop gun violence. They're promise to do something was broken.

This tragedy didn't get the ball running on gun control. It was taking a back burner because both presidential candidates were fearful of the NRA. And to make this clear, both wanted to play political posturing during this event.

The left blamed Republicans for lacking the balls to find solutions to reasonable gun control. The right blame Democrats for trying to push legislation that doesn't solve problems, it warrants more firearms on the street.

Eugene Han and Kristin Davis survived the mass shooting in Aurora, Colorado. They plan on getting married this weekend. They join many others in sharing thoughts and prayers to those lost in the Aurora shooting massacre.

Almost six months later, another mass shooting lead by a mentally insane person took the lives of 26 in third worst school shooting in American history.

Earlier this year, the Republicans in the U.S. Senate and a few Democrats blocked the passage of a watered down gun control bill sponsored by two conservative senators.

Senator Joe Manchin (D-West Virginia) and Senator Pat Toomey (R-Pennsylvania) both tried a bipartisan bill in which it could have stopped unregistered firearms from ending up in the hands of the next mass murder.

That was blocked by the likes of Senators Rand Paul (R-Kentucky), Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Mike Lee (R-Utah), Jim Inhofe (R-Oklahoma), Marco Rubio (R-Florida), Lindsay Graham (R-South Carolina), Rob Portman (R-Ohio), Max Baucus (D-Montana), Mark Pryor (D-Arkansas) and Heidi Heitkamp (D-North Dakota).

Of course if it would have passed, the Republican controlled House of Representatives would have killed the bill and it will be likely a continuous thing for the do-nothing Congress.

Unfortunately this gun control issue will continue to fell on deaf ears. These members of Congress

These morons have allowed more firearm tragedies to occur. Even in the April 2013 Boston Marathon bombing and Christopher Dorner situation, these Republicans and Democrats spit on the grave of all the victims in gun violence.

Too many people lost their lives in these senseless tragedies and this inept Congress is not budging a muscle.

Let's remind them.

INSTEAD OF CALLING IT RIGHT WING EXTREMISM, HOW ABOUT CALLING IT WHITE TERRORISM?

THIS IS AN ISSUE! IT'S INSPIRED BY THE ANGRY RHETORIC OF TALK RADIO, CHANGING DEMOGRAPHICS IN THE US POPULATION IN WHICH BLACKS AND HISPANICS ARE GROWING. 

THIS IS INSPIRED BY ISSUES LIKE LEGISLATION THAT ROLL BACK FIREARMS. 

THE PRESIDENT'S REELECTION ALSO ENRAGED MANY WHITE TERRORISTS ONLINE AND IN THE GENERAL PUBLIC!

THE CONSERVATIVE AGITATORS LIKE RUSH LIMBAUGH, MATT DRUDGE, MICHAEL SAVAGE, SEAN HANNITY, ALEX JONES, BILL O'REILLY AND GLENN BECK ENABLE THIS NONSENSE BY ACTIVELY DRIVING WEDGE ISSUES INTO THE SPOTLIGHT.

THE CULTURE WAR DEBATE OVER ENTITLEMENTS HAVE GIVEN CREDENCE TO EXTREMISTS WHO FOCUS THEIR HATRED OF THOSE THEY DEEM INFERIOR TO THEIR STANDINGS!

IN THEIR MENTALLY DISTURBED MINDS, THE WORLD IS COLLAPSING AND THEY'RE PREPARING FOR THE GREAT "RACE WAR"!

WHITE CONSERVATIVE MALES SEE BLACKS AS CRIMINALS, SINGLE MOTHERS/SINGLE WOMEN/INDEPENDENT WOMEN AS SLUTS, HISPANICS AS ILLEGALS, AND ASIANS AS PILLAGERS OF AMERICAN JOBS!

WHITE CONSERVATIVE MALES ARE OBSESSED WITH FIREARMS, POLITICS, BLAMING EVERYONE ELSE FOR THE COUNTRY'S WOES AND PROBABLY CARRY TENDENCIES TO CHEAT ON THEIR LOVERS (NOTE: SOME CONSERVATIVES ARE BLACK, HISPANIC, ASIAN AND/OR GAY)!

IF WE CAN GET RID OF OURSELVES OF REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS AND EVERY LOCALITY MAYBE THINGS COULD GET DONE!

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA NEEDS YOUR HELP TO GET THINGS DONE!

IF YOU SUPPORT HIM, HELP HIM GET THINGS DONE!

VOTE FOR TRAYVON MARTIN!

VOTE FOR SANDY HOOK!

VOTE FOR AURORA!

VOTE FOR GABRIELLE GIFFORDS!

AND YES, WE NEED A SERIOUS TALK ON RACE, GUNS, AND WOMEN!
