Man is Stabbed for Complaining about Talking Movie Patron

While I tend to agree that there is a special hell reserved for child molesters and people who talk during the movie, there is just a line that needs to be drawn here.

A disgruntled film patron who complained about a woman talking on her cell phone during the film was stabbed for turning in the offender.

/Film shares:

According to the LATimes, a man was recently watching Shutter Island at the Cinemark 22 in Lancaster, when he complained about a woman talking on a cell phone during the film. The woman left with two men. The two men returned and one of them stabbed the complainer in the throat with a meat thermometer.

“It was a vicious and cowardly attack,” said the LA County Sheriff.

I agree that this is the most cowardly off acts. Bad enough that you have to KNOW you are in the wrong to be talking during a film. Its just common sense.

Any idiot would know that talking during a movie – especially ones that repeatedly tell you to turn off your phones out of courtesy of other patrons – is just plain ignorant. Even if you don’t care what other people think, you still have to recognize that what you are doing is just rude.

But to take it THIS far? Sorry, there is no excuse for that.

They were ignorant to be disruptive to begin with, and even MORE ignorant to premeditate a retaliatory action this severe over it. I mean, who carries a MEAT THERMOMETER with them??

Much like the man that was shot for talking during the film, I would wager these people were not right in the head to begin with.

Sad that this patron, who is standing up for common courtesy was treated this way.
(Also ironic that this occurred during a film about mental disorders!
And I liked the picture /Film used with Leo looking behind him so offended like… had to use it)
