But the point remains the cinema is in no way at fault for this, how anyone can even think they are needs to have a serious think about things and not just try and blame someone else. It's not the cinema's fault if people were inadequately insured, it's the individuals. I am not saying that medical insurance is a good thing, to my mind, it should all be free, but attempting to blame someone else for not having adequate coverage for yourself is laughable. The onus is on the person to provide their own cover, not someone else to do it for them. Its a horrific tragedy, and one I feel heartfelt and sorry for, but doesn't change the outcome. Maybe the cinema should help or pay for them, but they are in no way obligated to do so.
So, what, they have security guards checking the doors? And? The guy might have just shot them and moved in anyways, or maybe gone through the front and shot his way in. You cannot argue that "What if" argument as a defence. He went in with the intention to hurt people, and kill. Seriously, I doubt you have actually thought through what you are saying. "Security" would have done literally fuck all, but as usual with these boards, it doesn't stop the silly people attempting to justify every silly thing that goes on.
