Why Did No One Fight Back?

One of the most shocking realization emerging from the James Holmes Batman movie shooting rampage in Aurora, Colorado is the fact that nobody apparently tried to stop the shooter. This is absolutely baffling. Out of at least 70 moviegoers (and maybe more, as numbers remain sketchy at the moment), it appears that nobody tried to tackle him to the ground, shoot back with their own gun, or even fight back in any way whatsoever. The accounts of witnesses are those of people fleeing, ducking and screaming... but not fighting for their lives.

I don't buy a lot of this. A lot of condemnation going on based on very shaky speculation of what happened. It wouldn't have made sense for Holmes to get close to the crowd so it's doubtful to me that he did. More Monday morning quarterbacking...
