Dark Knight Massacre


So here is the scenario ... A 24 years old PhD student in the field of neuroscience that frankly is one of the most complicated topics I have ever encountered in my graduate life, dresses up as Joker (I'm not quite sure about this) and opens fire to a large number of people during the first show of "The Dark Knight" movie somewhere in Colorado.

It's funny (or better say sarcastic) that this state, Colorado, has witnessed numerous events as such for past decades including the very famous Columbine high school massacre on April 20th, 1999. This time, according to police investigation, our little genius has ordered 6000 bullets from an online store, booby-trapped his entire building with homemade bombs and police has not yet been able to get inside ! Just to get an idea how easy this is in United States, just watch "Bowling for Columbine" by Michael Moore:


Now thanks to this, police has occupied all the theatres and awareness about PhD lunatics with dyed hair is filling the American media (Looks like another south park episode to me!). So what is the aftermath? well,  thanks to another social panic attack , people buy more guns, take guns to the movies, and cry in front of cameras that "WHY ? WHY SHOULD WE AMERICANS BE THE ONLY VICTIMS OF VIOLENCE?" and then a suited up president appears on TV , and blabber about " ... Dear citizens, we are passing through the hardest times of our history and as always we should stay united ...BLAH...BLAH"
If you could only knew how similar those speeches are to the nonsense that is fed to brains of millions of Iranians every day ! Sometimes it makes me think that the leaders all across the globe have a private landline that they sync their bullshits with each other every night !
