russian rocket Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 http://latino.foxnews.com/latino/entertainment/2012/07/26/colorado-shooting-victims-take-legal-action-as-dark-knight-rises-breaks-box/ A victim of the last week's tragic “Dark Knight” shooting rampage in Aurora, Colo. is telling the theater to pay up. Torrence Brown Jr., who survived the shooting, is taking legal action against the Century 16 movie theater, TMZ is reporting. "We're going to make sure whoever is accountable is going to take responsibility for this tragedy," Cassandra Williams of Wet PR told Yahoo News. Shooting suspect James Holmes, 24, opened fire at a crowd seeing the midnight screening of the “The Dark Knight Rises." Twelve were killed and 58 wounded. Brown’s attorney, Donald Karpel, told TMZ that Brown is suing due to the trauma endured during the ordeal. The three defendants -- the theater, Holmes’ doctors and Warner Bros. -- are all being targeted in the complaint. Karpel said that the theater is at fault for negligent behavior and not having an emergency door in the front of the theater alarmed and guarded. Reportedly Holmes went into the theater with a ticket, left through the emergency doors to his cars and returned with the firearms before opening fire. The attorney says that the doctors are also at fault for not properly monitoring Holmes prior to the shooting, since he was on multiple medications. He added that Warner Bros. is also at fault because the audience was led to believe the shooting was part of the movie and “somebody has to be responsible for the rampant violence that is shown today." Brown’s lawsuit comes just as the film hit an all-time record at the France premiere of “The Dark Knight Rises,” according to “The Hollywood Reporter.” The thriller, the last of director Christopher Nolan’s trilogy, broke a record in France, making over $300 million in revenue at the box office. The movie made $160.9 million -- less than expected -- in its opening weekend in the U.S. “The Dark Knight Rises” debuted in North America and in 17 markets overseas last weekend. This week the flick will be released in 40 more countries, including Germany and Russia.

El Karacho1647545492 Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 There needs to be a serious and quick retribution when people file these kind of frivolous lawsuits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBQdDude Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Freaking amazing how people try to cash in. Now MAYBE I could see the doctor but how many patients take the meds that the dude was on. Theater having an armed guard, yeah right. Warner brothers, this was the most laughable part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M0nk3y Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Alarming on the exit doors (not guard) is the only valid point. Everything else though is retarded and in total disrespect for the people who past away that morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything else though is retarded and in total disrespect for the people who past away that morning I know that at the Sports Barn, a well lit, clearly indicated alarmed door gets opened at least twice per game when I play there. A dark theater door would set off alarms all the damn time and potentially ruin not just that movie theater's experience, but in all adjacent theaters as well. Its a valid point but impossible to implement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuicedH22 Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 I believe law dictates that emergency exits be clearly marked, not alarmed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuicedH22 Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Confirmed, there must be an alarm somewhere in the exit route, but it does NOT have to be integral to the door by any means... http://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/owadisp.show_document?p_id=17456&p_table=FEDERAL_REGISTER http://www.osha.gov/OshDoc/data_General_Facts/emergency-exit-routes-factsheet.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
