My Hero - Don't talk in the theater...or else!

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).
Unless he is the great great great great grandson of Annie Oakley his aim sucked.

Why?

Why would aiming at his arm make him 'the great great great great grandson of Annie Oakley'?
Cause its a damned near impossible shot for all but the best marksmen out there and folks in the movies (on the screen type). The arm isnt that big of a target. We've been down this road before.
 
... yeah, pretty horrific for the kid :( ::shudder::

Well, there's worse that could've happened.

I mean, it was just a melodramaticly creepy Brad Pitt movie, they coud've gone to see a crappily sappy "kid friendly" Adam Sandler movie.

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? :confused:

I think they were hoping to see Cruise beat the shit out of Hitler. too bad.
 
That's crazy! Why would someone stoop so low as to carry a gun in a movie theater?! It makes no sense to me whatsoever. Anyway, I have heard that Christmas day is the busiest day at a movie theater because nothing else is open in my area especially and so people are bored on Christmas day. You know if that new Star Trek movie had come out I would have made a special trip to go see it. I'll bet it'll be pretty good.
 
Edited for unnecessary expletiveYou have to be some kind of c*** to shoot someone just for talking at the movies.

Was that actually required for you to adequately express your opinion? :rolleyes:



Yes it cunting well was.

Also in addition to being some kind of cunt the gunman is also a MASSIVE pussy (different kind of cunt) for shooting someone when he could have settled it with a fist fight, or possibly with witty banter.
 
Blip, it ain't always pretty but we only remove questionable language from thread titles, not posts. Also, it's not a good idea to edit another member's post when you quote them. I'll assume you deleted your post out of frustration and that's fine; I know it's best sometimes to take a deep breath and walk away for awhile :)

At 150 meters I'd agree. But, in this case, they couldn't have been more than 10 feet apart.

My son's got a new toy for christmas - plastic log with some bottles and cans on top and you shoot the laser pointer pistol at a very small 'receiver' and up pops a dowel and knocks the plastic can or bottle off the log. Those receivers aren't even 6 inches apart and from 10 feet, even I can aim at a particular target and knock the can or bottle off.
 
They still make those? I had one of those when I was a kid. Must be more than 30 years ago.
