According to TMZ:

One of the victims in the James Holmes mass murder spree has lawyered up and plans to file a lawsuit ... because he feels the theater dropped the ball in a very fatal way.

Torrence Brown, Jr. was in Century 16 Theater when Holmes let loose. One of Brown's best friends, A.J. Boik, was shot in the chest and died. Brown, who was not physically injured, claims to now suffer from extreme trauma.



Brown has hired attorney Donald Karpel to rep him. Karpel tells TMZ ... he is targeting 3 defendants.

1. The theater. Karpel claims it was negligent for the theater to have an emergency door in the front that was not alarmed or guarded. It's widely believed Holmes entered the theater with a ticket, propped the emergency door open from inside, went to his car and returned with guns.


2. Holmes' doctors. Karpel says it appears Holmes was on several medications -- prescribed by one or more doctors -- at the time of the shooting and he believes the docs did not properly monitor Holmes.


3. Warner Bros. Karpel says "Dark Knight Rises" was particularly violent and Holmes mimicked some of the action. The attorney says theater goers were helpless because they thought the shooter was part of the movie. Karpel tells TMZ, "Somebody has to be responsible for the rampant violence that is shown today."


I'm sorry, but this is just ridiculous! This man is clearly taking advantage of the unfortunate tragedy. Here's hoping he gets nothing out of this.

Sad thing is he'll probably win.

What is even more worrying is background checks for guns went up 40% in the area. That is crazy.

It's terrible thing that happened, but this guy is an idiot for trying to sue WB for the actions of a deranged and mentally ill man. I can understand suing the theater as their security was partially to blame, but don't sue a company because they made a freaking action film!

So if I go into my neighbours house right and killed them while they are watching Game Of Thrones, and claim I´m King Joffrey, and if someone survives, can they sue whoever produces the series?

Hate this crazy idea that games and movies kill people, why are books never blamed? They contain violence, and arguably they are worse because they make you have to imagine it all yourself.

Secondly if you are going to blame films, tv and games for bad stuff, then they need praise when something good happens.

Blaming movies etc is a way of avoiding looking at the real problem in society whatever that maybe.

Why blame Nolan's film?
there are FAR more violent films...
Of course, movies do encourage real criminals, Fight Club is a prime example. But that doesn't make the film industry or Warner Bros. deserving of a lawsuit...

Did Christian Bale skip him in his Aurora visit or something?

So glad we don't/can't sue here, think it'll drive me nuts having people claiming millions for things like McDonalds making them fat or having to put up with ambulance chasers.

I wonder if there was a way for all the users of CBM to sue him for causing more stress? Can we at least sue him for looking like a complete and utter asshead? Really, a guy that dresses like that is causing me anxiety because I want to smash his face in.

Welcome to 'Merica, where the only way to combat gun violence is to apparently buy more guns and where there's a quick buck to be made, even from the fallout of a tragedy, the opportunity will pounced on by someone.

So he's claiming the shooter mimicked the particularly violent action from The Dark Knight Rises, a movie the shooter has never seen before? Anyone else see the giant gaping hole in this argument? It was a 12 o'clock showing and the shooter left within the first 15 min to get his weapons. So what action from the movie did he see that he was mimicking exactly? This guy is a piece of shit for taking advantage of terrible tragedy.

@Knightrider How is the number of background checks going up worrying? It totally makes sense that people want to protect themselves after something like this happening...

I'm sure the number of concealed weapon permits will go up drastically as well, and I'm all for people protecting themselves and their loved ones.

How about suing the public defenders instead that are trying to probably get Holmes an insanity plea ? That's the real problem right there. Holmes should get the chair.
