Obviously Socialist Courier wonders why a member of the working class should randomly slaughter 14 people in a movie theater. But one lesser publicised fact was that Colorado residents flooded local blood centers and hospitals after the deadly shooting eager to help - literally with their on blood.
About 17.2 million units of blood are collected in the U.S. each year of hich 15 million are transfused. Nearly 11 million donors give blood each year, including about 3.1 million first-timers

A WTF from the NRA:
ReplyDeleteThe head of an American firearms lobbying group has said the shooting at a cinema in Denver, Colorado is an opportunity to "loosen up gun laws". Larry Pratt, executive director of Gun Owners of America and a member of National Rifle Association, told BBC Radio 5's Stephen Nolan programme that anti-gun laws were "setting people up for this kind of disaster". Mr Pratt told the programme: "It is very sad that there was a no-guns policy in that theatre and that nobody had thought to take a gun with them anyway. "I think this is going to be an opportunity for us to loosen up gun laws in this country."
