It's up to the theaters or malls to hire them.

They don't all set off automatic alarms. The door at the Aurora theater didn't set of an alarm.

Reba

They can't change that law because it's a fire safety issue. When buildings are occupied, the exit doors must be unlocked from the inside, they can't be blocked with anything, they have to be lit, and they have to open outward.

Reba

Many of the wounded victims will have life-long problems resulting from their injuries.

Reba

I can understand why businesses, including theaters, don't want audible alarms going off every time a door opens. However, they could have a light panel with the doors numbered that would flash whenever a door was opened, and it could be monitored by an employee.

Foxrac

Yup, that's extremely sad.

That how I deal with pain and uncomfortable from IBS everyday.

Having injuries will result in more complication for rest of their life and they will share with frustration, including psychiatric disorders (depression, anxiety, PTSD).

Exposed as victim in massacre in real life will make me very sad for rest of my life.

The movie theater where I worked (eons ago) was a older, single, large theater that didn't have surveillance cameras or door alarms.

Unless the cameras are constantly monitored, they aren't of much use for crime prevention. Most parking lot and convenience store security cameras are used for trying to figure out what happened after the fact. Of course, then it's too late.

I think the main thing that will change is movie theaters may beef up security. They might even install metal detectors (like they already do at public schools).

One thing that keeps going through my mind is Jeanne Assam:

It wasn't but just a few years ago that a crazed gunman went on a shooting spree at her church


Why is it always Colorado?

Reba

I remember that.

Steinhauer

I know about Kennesaw, and I met the man who wrote that law. Dent Meyers. The locals all call him a crazy racist nazi.

I will admit, he isn't normal. But, he is very smart, not a racist, not a nazi, but definitely .... not normal. He is also very friendly. He used to be an engineer for the USAF and worked on aircraft.

Anyways, that law is tongue and cheek humor and not meant to be taken seriously. For example, the neighboring town (where my mom lives) it is the law to own a fishing pole.

My mother does not own a fishing pole and no one has hauled her to jail .... yet.

Maybe I should get her one for her birthday just in case?

Yes, stupid is as stupid does.

"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former" ~ Albert Einstein.

Here you see, James Homes was a PhD student as the articles covering the massacre has mentioned over and over again that this young man was the top of the top in his class. Gaining more intelligence is not a substitute for the absence of common sense!

Remember what I have told you in the past, old friend? I have told you that there is a reason for everything! We might not ever know that reason, but it'll be revealed in the life to come.

The emergency exit doors should set off an alarm. But this is irrelevant because the gunman did not enter inside through the emergency exit doors.


I concur. Physical injuries can be cured or alleviated, but emotional scars might never be healed. Emotional scars are the most horrible things in the aftermath of a tragedy.

Oh I see, that's interesting.

Kennesaw is more upscale suburb and very safer place to visit but do you know about some portion of Cobb County is declining like some part of Marietta and Austell (that's where Six Flags is in)?

To add more stricter gun control laws won't solve the problem.

respectyoda

Of course not! As long as this world continues to exist, there will always be law breakers because there are so many people out there that do not give any regard to life per se!

Wow - you know about Cobb? You should come visit me some time.

My entire family moved away from Cobb except my mother. We do not like how that county is governed. They are not very deaf friendly.

I live in Cherokee now and it is much better here.

Calvin

Done.

Foxrac

Yup, some of them and I do know about Atlanta metro, especially Fulton, Clayton, Gwinnett and Cherokee counties. My cousin used lived in Cherokee County in few years ago before moved to Virginia.

Sorry about off topic but you can reach me via PM.

The planet gets smaller when we discover we have mutual friends, yet gets bigger when we feel we are far away from someone! Perspective is quite an interesting thing, ain't it?

Maybe they should but they don't unless they are set up that way. Many are not. The killer re-entered thru the emergency exit door. He first went out the door, then came back in. When he first left thru the exit door, apparently it didn't trigger any kind of alarm. I'm guessing that he had done a dry run of this attack previously to make sure that's how the doors operated in that theater.

It wasn't my title. The Mods merged my thread with another, and used the other poster's title.

Thank you for sharing!!

Absolutely heart breaking for loss of only child (6-year old girl)

I'm betting that this practice will now change and all exit doors will be locked and alarmed as they should be.

Usually emergency exit doors have emergency crash/push type bars on them to open them from the inside while they are alarmed and locked from the outside. That is if they are properly set and tested periodically! I have been to many theaters that let patrons use these as general exits after the movie. Bad idea! Change is coming! Not all change will be good!

Well, you can bet your bippie that if alarms like this go off in the future someone will take care of it just like any violence on an airplane nowadays!
