As a former Colorado resident and a person who attended a midnight showing of “The Dark Knight Rises”, I cannot say that I know the impact of the events that took place on that night and the loss that the individuals associated feel. I do feel that there is a sense of confusion and helplessness from the country and myself.

I am really excited about this one.
