POLL: Will You Feel Safe at The Movies?

A shooting that left 12 dead and 50 injured at a Colorado movie theater following the midnight showing of 'Dark Knight Rises' has many wondering if security should be stepped up.

Dark Knight Rises was set to be one biggest movie releases of the summer.

But no one expected the gunshots being fired on the big screen to be a real-life experience.

During a midnight showing in Aurora, Colo. Friday, 12 people were killed and at least 50 injured as a gunman opened fire during the final chapter of the Batman trilogy.

Patch Asks: Will this incident stop you from going to the movies in the future--short-term or long-term? How do you feel about midnight screenings? What can local movie theaters do to make you feel safe?

Todd Cummings, vice president of operations for Reel Services Management, which operates Krikorian theaters (which has a theater in Monrovia), said that the theater will continue to show the movie as planned.

What are these "organizations that can assist educators in providing an additional incomeRead More source for school supplies?" What are the other "big retailers" besides Staples that are helping teachers with rewards programs? This is a great subject but there is little detail here beyond a link to the Staples program. Would love to read a follow up piece with more useful information.
