    Stereotypical boneheaded teenager. He thought it would be fun to play on the fears of the Aurora movie theater shooting. Apparently he didn't realize that people other than his friends would also be impacted. Hopefully all he needs is a reality check. The bounds of acceptable behavior were changed after Aurora. It may have been fine to wear something like this to a Colorado theater prior to the Aurora incident. If it was OK before though it's definitely not OK now.
