Don't be such a racist.
My Hero - Don't talk in the theater...or else!

I agree that theater talkers need to go to Special Hell (even if that talker is one of my best friends), but to shoot them? That's a little far. Oh well, I suppose the guy got to enjoy his movie in peace until the cops showed up.
Jolly St Picard, I'm not being racist, especially since I am 1/2 black. Growing up in the black neighboorhood I went to black movie theaters and sometimes I could barely hear the movie from all the talking and "shhhing" going on. When I got older and moved to more white areas of town I noticed I could actually hear movies.
My little town I live in is mostly white and you can hear a pin drop in the movie theater.

It's a pretty common practice, especially with families who just want to relax and not make anyone at home work to entertain/feed them. For a couple of hours, it's a nice change of pace for them.
Who knew apostle had family in Philly? 
But it is something one can do nearly every day of the year, or at least some weekends if the adults work.
And if everyone pitches in with the meal at home on Christmas Day it isn't really a chore.
Fuck. So now talking in a theater can get you shot? Fuck this guy. Lock his ass up. I hate talking during a movie too, but in no way should you be shot for it. And why the hell do you bring a gun into a movie theater?
The thing most people run into Christmas night is that you've eaten, opened presents, the kitchen is clean... so now what? There's nothing good on TV, all the catching up and chatter has been done over the course of the day and past days when everyone got into town, etc. So people go to the movies because it's pretty much the only other thing aside from gas stations that are open on X-Mas night.
It's done to get out of the house -as a group- and do something aside from sitting around the fire listening to grandpa's bunion surgery story again.
Maybe in Australia it is a bit different as it is summer here. We can go outside for a game of cricket, or a drive to the beach, or have an evening barbeque, or just relax in the garden watching the sunset etc
This guy ain't a hero, he's an idiot who took an argument too far. 
I have a relative who works at a specialty theater where they toss you out for talking, cellphones, games, so forth. This guy certainly went to the extreme, but if he hadn't shot and I was in the theater, I would have cheered him on, then shaked his hand afterward. When did it become too much to ask that people shut the fuck up when in a theater?
That's the sad state of our culture these days...where theaters where people don't do those things are considered *specialty*.
Likely the case.
Hard to go outside and play cricket, er, football when it's 20 degrees outside.

It is fine to play outside when if is 20 degrees in Australia because we use the Celsius scale

I think the coldest temperature ever recorded in my city has been around -2.9C.
Agreed. His aim was for shit.
I bet the kid is saying "So Dad, you wanna take me to another shitty movie next Christmas?"
