Mass shooting at “Dark Knight” Movie Premier

The ReadyWriter

I woke up to breaking news this morning, that a lone gunman dressed in riot gear burst into a movie theater in Aurora, Colo., at a midnight showing of the Batman film “The Dark Knight Rises” and methodically began shooting patrons, killing at least 12 people and injuring at least 50.

The suspect, James Holmes, 24, of Aurora, was caught by police in the parking lot of the Century 16 Movie Theaters, nine miles outside of Denver.

Witnesses in the movie theater said Holmes crashed into the auditorium through an emergency exit about 30 minutes into the film, set off a smoke bomb, and began shooting. Holmes stalked the aisles of the theater, shooting people at random, as panicked movie-watchers in the packed auditorium tried to escape, witnesses said.

Police said 10 victims died inside the theater, while dozens of others were taken to local hospitals, including a child as young as 6 years old.

Holmes was wearing a bullet-proof vest and riot helmet and carrying a gas mask, rifle, and handgun, when he was apprehended, according to police. Holmes mentioned having explosives stored, leading police to evacuate his entire North Aurora apartment complex and search the buildings early this morning.

Witnesses watching movies in theaters next to the one where the shooting took place said bullets tore through the theater walls and they heard screaming.

I think it’s a damn shame, when you can’t even be safe in a movie theatre these days.

George Zimmerman Said: “It was all in God’s plan to kill Trayvon Martin”

The ReadyWriter

George Zimmerman sat down and did an interview on Fox News Channel’s “Hannity” and this was his first since he killed unarmed teen, Trayvon Martin with a single shot to the chest on Feb. 26.

The self-appointed “Neighborhood watchman” said “It was all in God’s plan to kill Trayvon that night”.

During the interview, Zimmerman – who was arrested a month after the shooting and charged with second-degree murder – said he shot Martin as a last resort after the teen broke his nose, slammed his head into the concrete, told him he was going to die and reached for Zimmerman’s gun.

The volunteer watchman said he was not following the teen but keeping “an eye on him” when Martin confronted and then attacked him.

Zimmerman continues to apologize to the Martin’s for Trayvon’s death but they are not accepting his apology. And maybe that’s because the Martin’s know that Zimmerman’s apology is not sincere.

As far as Zimmerman’s comments about “killing Trayvon being all in God’s plan?” the Martin’s responded: “I don’t understand what God he worships? It’s not the same God I worship.”

I found Zimmerman’s interview and statements both cruel, heartless and antagonizing. It’s as if he wants to provoke hurt and anger. His comments pissed me off personally. It’s like he keeps pouring salt into a very open, fresh and hurtful wound. Zimmerman spoke as if he has no regret. In such a controversial case and highly sensitive situation as this, Zimmerman should not be speaking at all.

I hope the prosecutors in this case use the tape of that “Hannity” interview to fry his ass in the name of Justice. And “HELL NO” it was not in God’s plan for this psychopathic killer to take Trayvon’s life, it was the devil’s plan!!!!

Hudson Family Murder Trial Is Under Way

The ReadyWriter

It’s been four years since the brutal murders of Jennifer Hudson’s mother, brother and nephew allegedly gunned down by Jennifer’s then brother-in-law William Balfour.

Balfour who was married to Jennifer’s sister Julia at the time, supposedly went into a jealous rage after he saw a gift of balloons from her new boyfriend at their house on her birthday. Julia witnessed Balfour lingering outside of their home the day of brutal murders and prosecutor’s believe, he went back inside the three-story house around 9 a.m. and used a .45-caliber handgun to kill Hudson’s mother, 57-year-old Darnell Donerson in the living room, and then shot her 29-year-old brother, Jason Hudson, twice in the head as he lay in bed.

He allegedly drove off in Jason Hudson’s SUV with Julia Hudson’s son, Julian King, inside. Authorities say he shot the boy nicknamed Juice Box in the head as he lay behind a front seat. His body was found in the abandoned vehicle miles away after a three-day search.

This is the prosecutor’s theory of Balfour’s murder motive but I believe it was about more than a jealous rage over some birthday balloons. I think drugs and money are at the root of why Jennifer Hudson’s family was murdered in such a vile and brutal fashion.

Jennifer Hudson is on a list of witnesses set to testify, so let’s stay tuned as the chilling details from this trial emerge.

Judge Sets $150,000 Bond for Zimmerman

The ReadyWriter

The self-proclaimed neighborhood watch killer had a hearing in Seminole County Florida this morning, where a judge set his bond at $150,000.

Clad in a dark suite and a crisp white shirt and tie, Zimmerman appeared in court looking like a choir boy; as he apologized to Tracy and Sabrina Martin for killing their son Trayvon.

Zimmerman’s bond comes with the following stipulations: he must seek permission to travel out-of-state for his safety, when in my opinion, he’s safe nowhere at this point. Zimmerman has to have GPS monitoring system, no possession of firearms, no use of controlled substance and no contact with the victim’s family.

He must also meet with the state to be fitted for a GPS ankle bracelet, which means he most likely won’t be released until Monday. However, Zimmerman can be released by paying at least 15,000 which is 10% of his bond.

Zimmerman reacts after learning he will not be released on bond

The ReadyWriter

Trayvon Martin’s killer will remain behind bars for another month with no bond.

George Zimmerman, 28, appeared in a Seminole County courtroom today for his bond hearing wearing a gray prison issued jumpsuit. He remained calm as the judge read instructions to his attorney Mark O’Mara. After the hearing, O’Mara said bond will be set “in the next few weeks.”

Referring to his client as “indigent,” O’Mara told the media he was not charging Zimmerman a dime for his services. Earlier this week Zimmerman set up a PayPal account on his personal website to receive donations from the public.

Florida State Attorney and prosecutor, Angela Corey, also attended the hearing for Zimmerman’s bond hearing at the John E. Polk Correctional Facility in Sanford, Florida. Zimmerman was charged yesterday with second degree murder in the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin who died of a single gunshot wound on February 26, 2012.

Zimmerman has always claimed he acted in self-defense the night he shot Trayvon, who was unarmed. But Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer, has a history of prowling his gated community with a gun, and calling 911 46 times to report “suspicious” black men — despite the fact that the men broke no laws.
