Arrest in movie theater shooting – 12/26/08 – Philadelphia News – 6abc.com

I should start out by saying there’s nothing new about fights and shootings at Philadelphia movie theaters.  I do have a few thoughts though:

  • This is why I always go to the suburbs to see films that aren’t playing at any of the Ritzes.
  • The kind of during-movie urban safari pandemonium that likely triggered the shooting is why I particularly avoid the Riverview.
  • I can’t say I’ve never thought about something like this during a movie, but a katana or a trained pack of killer ice weasels would be my method.
  • One look at this guy and you can totally believe he’d go back to his seat and resume watching the movie after shooting somebody.
