Brown's attorney Don Karpel told TMZ he plans to sue the Century 16 theater, which is owned by Cinemark, for having an exit door that was not equipped with an alarm or guarded. (Holmes reportedly left the theater through the exit door, propped it open and returned with his weapons.) Karpel also said he may sue Warner Bros for releasing violent movies that may have inspired the shooter, as well as the suspect's doctors, if he had any, for hypothetically not monitoring James Holmes' mental condition properly.

We might sue any doctors that he might have had. We don't know that he had any, but by god if he did, we're going to sue the poo out of them.

People can take situations like this and turn it into a greed fest. Absolutely ridiculous.

We're also going to sue his mom for not having an abortion.

I actually wish Holmes had killed that dude.

If the violence in the movie was so bad why the fug did he buy a ticket to begin with?

That publicist and attorney are taking a bit of gamble with their own lives going public like this. Obviously threats against them will start which isn't anything new. I remember over a decade ago a woman tried to sue Oreos for contributing to her weight issues. Within a week after going public, her attorney dropped her because of all the death threats against him and his family.

Hope these people are having their mail, email and telephone calls closely screened, because it is going to get ugly. No sympathy from me however.

The only one that remotely makes sense is the emergency door bullsh*t but in other news, this guy can f*ck a goat

So you dont want to let the free market handle this one?

I agree though, we need more government regulation in this area. I'm thinking some sort of punishment for lawyers who bring frivolous lawsuits and make it easier for judges to throw stupid cases out quickly
