The article suggests that the colorado/batman shooter didn't go to the closest 2 cinemas he instead went to the closest one which had a no-firearms policy. I am sure that we'll see argument and rebuttals of this as it is debated.
I can assume there could be other reasons why he specifically went to this cinema rather than another one, maybe it was the time the film was starting, maybe it is the one he went to previously etc.
Still, it is good to see what appears to be some further investigation going on.
Have you done any research into the cost and licensing requirements to run a repeater? We own some mountainous acreage in a very rural part of Virginia RIdge and Valley country that serves as vacation place and potential SHTF retreat. We get mediocre cell phone coverage (US Cellular only) and nothing else. I have thought of putting an antenna tower up the hill a ways (we own nearly to the top of the ridge. I wouldn't do it just for Ham or GMRS radio, but if I could get expanded cell coverage, and/or satellite internet (Dish or Starlink) as well, from one tower, I might go for it.
