Well, I don't think he was trying to kill the guy, just shoot him. So his aim was probably spot on (part of why I think attempted murder charges are a bit much).
My Hero - Don't talk in the theater...or else!
- Thread starter T'Baio
- Start date
Could be the weather.
As Trekker said, by the time night roles around, all the cooking, present-opening, and cleaning has already been done. For some reason my family (and I suspect other families) eat holiday dinners earlier in the day than normal. We had Christmas "dinner" at 2 in the afternoon. We were done eating and visiting by 4pm.
We discussed going to the movies, but there was nothing any of us really wanted to see.
For my family, Christmas is done and over by 6pm.
Unless he is the great great great great grandson of Annie Oakley his aim sucked.
You have to be some kind of cunt to shoot someone just for talking at the movies.
You also have to be some kind of cunt to think TALKING AT THE MOVIES is a crime worthy of getting shot for.
I hope they throw the book at the shooter and he goes down for a long time.

It sure is. Completely deserved.
It didn't exactly make big headlines. Most people probably didn't notice or are apathetic to it. So I'd say no difference.
You should also keep in mind that non-Christians need to be entertained. It's practically a jewish tradition to go to the movies and eat chinese food on Christmas (at least, around here).
Hmmm, maybe use this as a public service message just before the trailers start?
I'd read about this and glad to see a post here too.
I agree with those who are questioning the use of a gun for this. I do feel that the death penalty should absolutely apply to anyone who chooses to talk during a movie.
I also fail to understand why anyone is referring to the bastard who could not control himself and shut the fuck up as a "victim" ... He is not a "victim" at all. If he can't control himself, he should be executed by any means necessary.

Shooting may have been just a tad overkill, but the basic fact is that there is no logical reason anybody in a theater should make a sound of any kind. Their obligation as theater patrons is to shut the fuck up and watch. That's it. That's all they should be allowed to do. Managers should be able to throw them out if they say ONE WORD.

yeah, pretty horrific for the kid
::shudder::btw, tons of people go to the movies on christmas day. we did. we went to see Valkyrie and we had to go have dinner at 5pm (at a Chinese restaurant -- only one open) after we got to the theatre and the 4:45 show was packed -- PACKED -- to the gills. the manager changed our tix to the 7:45 show, which was also packed. however, we'd wised up and gotten to our seats by 7. by 7:20, the place was full.

The place was packed to the gills, twice, for a Crazy Cruise movie? Really?
Normal people still love Tom Cruise.yeah, pretty horrific for the kid

You are absolutely right on this. I think a much better strategy would to be to deal with the person in a darkened back room after the movie.
What an idiot! Doesn't the moron gunman know that there's a shitload of talking during movie night in prison?

Was that actually required for you to adequately express your opinion?
While I may disagree with him shooting the guy, I can definitely relate... hell, if I was dumb enough to carry a loaded weapon clipped to my jeans (I'm sorry, sweatpants!? Bwahahahahaaaaaa
) I'm sure the temptation to shoot the cretins myself would be almost irresistable.
Why?
Why would aiming at his arm make him 'the great great great great grandson of Annie Oakley'?
"Normal" eh? And how do you define "normal" on your planet?Normal people still love Tom Cruise.yeah, pretty horrific for the kid
