Mayes, whose church at 1585 Kingston St. is just a few blocks west of Holmes’ apartment, said this week he hopes Jackson’s visit puts some focus on the crime problems in the north Aurora neighborhood where Holmes lived. Earlier this month, a pastor was shot during a robbery a few blocks away and Mayes said crime in general is on the rise in the area.
Here is your evidence. This was about them. The Aurora mall is NOT in this area. It had nothing to do with the theater. It was about JJ. And I have no problem with them being worried about shootings and violence in North Aurora. The address above is near Colfax that that is a very bad area with prostitutes, drugs etc. But this kid did not shoot victims down the street. It was not about the prostitutes etc. They are using the theater shootings to mislead. So there you go THAT is why I am pissed. Be fricking honest. ON both sides. REP and DEM. I would just as pissed a REP for doing this. This is NOT about Aurora Shootings.
Okay here is the deal. Holmes lived at 1700 paris because the University Hospital is right next to his apartment.
The violence in north aurora is a huge problem don't get me wrong. It just had nothing to do with this shooting and they are misleading people for their own good in the middle of the tragedy. Like I said if he had done this on Monday or Tuesday I probably would not be so hard on him. But he is an egomaniac and I am not saying it because of race. That pastor is just as much at fault for not saying the same. The end DOES NOT justify the means.
Holmes picked the closest theater it has nothing to do with the violence, drug issues in north aurora and Denver for that matter all up and down Colfax.
Christian Bale was low key, Jesse just had to wait until next week. I still would have called him out on his mistaken statement but would not be as upset. The fact that he is here this week is the problem. he knows no one would have given a damn about his press conference next week.

Jesse Jackson is a media hound and I have another idea on his motives but if I say what I think I will be accused of being racist. He only cares about himself. And the NRA should be ashamed as well.
Did you happen to "miss" the point where I said "agreed"? If not, then I don't know what to say. My entire belief system? C'mon. I've been the one "asking" (not telling) people to consider having some respect for the victims, their families, the survivors, and their families before degenerating into an argument about gun control.
I, personally, don't give a rat's ass who the media hounds are, including both Jesse Jackson and the NRA! None of them show one iota of respect for sorrowing, grieving individuals, no matter the situation, the magnitude, or the grossness of the tragedy. It doesn't matter one iota whether or not fees had to be returned (in the case of the NRA following Columbine). The Colorado Avalanche gave up home ice advantage during the Stanley Cup playoffs out of respect and consideration for those affected at Columbine for crying out loud. If you don't think for one second the event in Aurora didn't affect those of us directly affected by the event at Columbine, I feel very sorry for you.
I went through this post-Columbine. Where were you then? My cause is to help "People Energize and Achieve Conscious Empowerment". If conscious empowerment means something different to you, then so be it. What it means to me is our society needs to at least try to change its collective psyche to be more respectful, more considerate, more compassionate, to and with each other.

One more thing: I can't even begin to tell you how many "celebrities" visited the survivors and their families post-Columbine. Virtually every single one of them did so more low key than even Christian Bale. No one knew they were there, that's the way they wanted it, that's the way the families wanted it, too. Both JJ, following the Aurora event, and the NRA, following Columbine "chose" to make more noise. Just sayin'

This is not partisan to me. I am calling a spade a spade. All I am saying is I don't a damn about his press conference and he is misleading people by showing up at that apartment. It had NOTHING to do with the shootings and I am pissed at him. That is all I am saying. Otherwise it is up to you to think what you think. If the NRA or Sarah palin or anyone does this I will be fricking pissed at them too. I am not being partisan on this.
My point in the above quote from me was this..... IF your cause about gun control is completely built upon this one incident and you can only use this one mass murder then it doesn't hold water so tell our politicians to get some integrity and stop marketing this to get their gun control. If Jesse was so worried about North Aurora he should have come down here before the shootings. Give me a compelling argument other then the Aurora Shootings then maybe I will listen. A knee jerk reaction because of this one incident is not going to help this problem.

Jesse didn't visit victims. He went to North Aurora and tried to use it for his cause of violence in N. Aurora.
