Facing the consequences of your actions 
You thought you could go to church like white people ? Face the consequences of your actions black people! What did you think would happen?!

It's the consequences of the murderers actions they are facing, not the consequences or their own . Obviously.

Just in case you were wondering. Chicago leads the nation in mass shootings and deaths. Their gun laws have made it worse, not better.
no, that has to be a lie, the democrats keep telling us that if they take away our guns then we will all be safer, that if the law abiding citizens dont have guns then there is no way a bad guy will want to shoot us because they will also turn in their guns

I dunno if you're being sarcastic but reinacting a shooting that actually happened is thin ice to begin with. Next they'll want to do Sandy Hook. Which is super appropriate to scare the shit out of kids in an elementary school.
But then the people running it also choose to make it as an example to show kids what happens to sinners. Do you really not think that's fucked up? Just a little?

Yeah it's fucked up, but we should let the fools (free market) who want to spend $20 on a ticket decide whether the show goes on or not.

I mean not really mass shootings happen all the time now and this is the world were meant to raise kids in. I mean its a haunted house it's meant to be scarey n spooky n fucked up. I mean you guys jus assumed that this was some kinda hardcore Christian shit I mean none of u went thru the thing it coulda had a really positive kid friendly message about being vigilant of gun violence or using safe sex practices.

No one "assumed" it was a hardcore christian fundamentalist event, its portrayed that way. Did you read the article?

True, but if that's not the case then the article was twisted to make it sound like hardcore Christian shit was going on.
I suppose context is really important. Both in the story and in the haunted house. They could have done a shooting stunt without basing it on an actual event where people actually died and, of all these shootings that happen all the time now, coincidentally choose the one actually event where people actually died happened to almost entirely be gay men. Which Christian organizations are known to often openly oppose.
I would have been okay if they had some anonymous masked bad guy in some building pretended to shoot some random people. It is the context they chose that I think is fucked up.

Honestly it sounds more like a bad joke set to scam Christians more then anything. I doubt the guy who set it up was a "minister" like claimed...
They probably just went with the christian theme becouse they figured they could get away with more then sell tickets to stupid conservatives to bring their kids.
That is my take on it anyways.

I mean this is scarey and messed up to to me but only because it's a dangerously slippery slope. I mean its the kinda mentality why kkids don't play dodge ball anymore. Parents today wanna nerf everything. Omg don't mention current events to the child. Wouldnt want kids getting scared inside a spook house omfg!

I doubt that. But I'll admit something does sound... Off. I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't get the full story. That rarely happens in journalism these days.

This is a bit different than letting your 10 year old ride their bike down a block by themselves. I do believe kids should be aware of what's happening in the world but again reenacting it for them? That has never been okay. Least not that I've ever heard of.
I've not heard of a haunted house that was designed to reenact the holocaust and gas chambers while implying the jews got it for not believing in Jesus.
You're obviously not getting that it's not about it being scary. It's about it being incredibly disrespectful and normalizing tragedy (and could be interpreted as justifying it) and (it sounds like) teaching children awful morals.

I didn't see anything in the article about refunds even though it sounded like it was being canceled and the person who set it up jumped ship.
The article says his facebook is down and his site just has some weird message about god or something.
It also doesn't mention how many tickets may have already been sold however so who knows.

This has obv been blown outta proportion by using out of context buzzwords in a sumbiminally ordered artical titles so people will lose their minds have a small stroke and instantly click on it and procede to blab about it across the internet. We're talking like a potential virtual milliondy dollars in clicks. The fact that the media have so easily spun this and it's evoked such a powerful stir of emotions only speaks to playwright tyrons absolute genius in his conception of this reimaging of the pulse tragedy.

Why is it that no matter how blatantly fucked up and wrong something is, someone always has to play devil's advocate?

I'd normally agree with you Chief. But I just don't see what you have to build your opinion on other than it being a common problem. And again I'm sure this is not the full story. Or an exaggeration. But I don't see how you could have an article that names a very specific shooting and not have it portrayed in some manner if not overtly referenced.
Yes it's sensationalized, as all media is these days, but that doesn't mean the core of it is untrue.
