I don't mean this as "taking the high road", but this is a mother and father's son, and so I don't view the shooter as a "monster" even though what he did was monstrously evil.
I would be pretty sure, from having known a couple of young, well-raised men who were fine until college age, and then schizophrenia reared its ugly head and murderous thoughts and actions of theirs have ruined the whole family's life, that this shooter had that happen, too.
I don't go to the movies much because of all the violent and sex-alluring stuff, but I would be okay going to TV theaters and others.
What I fear on the horizon is that theater entrances will be converted into the mess that entering a commercial airplane is.....having to take off your shoes, etc. and get body searched or x-rayed, which slows everybody down to a snail's pace and raises the cost of airport/airline operations.
They could drive the movie theaters into such aggravations and thus have to charge $60 per person to see a movie.....putting the theater operators out of business.
