Back in July of last year, a popular movie called Batman: The Dark Knight Rises premiered all over the United States. During this time in Colorado, a man dressed up as the Joker came and shot into the crowded theater, killing 12 and injuring 58. This movie theater shooting made news state wide and continued to gain momentum for many months till a decision was made. Despite this serious issue, the media played a major part in making this more serious and by bringing the issue over and over again, causes even more problems for everyone that was involved.
What role did the movie play in the shooter's acts? I don't think we ever got an answer. Did the news media cover the story more than was warranted?
