CYCLE THREE: Movie Theater Massacre

Last friday was opening day for the anxiously awaited movie "Dark Knight Rises." In a century 16 theater in Aurora, Colorado a gunman entered the screening. Throwing tear grenades, holding various fire arms and dressed in bullet proof vests many thought that it was part of the movie...it was not. Killing 12 and injuring 58 people with his barrage of bullets everyone began to run out of the theater. He was later apprehended and police stated that he called himself Joker, the infamous villan in batman comics and who came out in "The Dark Knight." Many suffered from this massacre and my prayers go out to the families who are mourning their loved ones. We will never forget that day. God Bless You families and know that your loved ones are resting now.
