HOLY IDIOTS, BATMAN!

Who is this idiot and why am I wasting my time writing about him? Because after the tragedy that happened last Friday morning in at a Dark Knight Rises premiere in Aurora, Colorado, what kind of a moron would try to cause a raucous in a movie theater during the same movie only days after the tragedy? Well, I have two instances for you! One story is about the California man in the photo above, 52-year-old Clark Tabor. 

Apparently, an impatient Tabor began shouting at around 5:15 pm, right before The Dark Knight Rises even started. Tabor was voicing his frustration that the movie hadn't started yet and allegedly held his cell phone in the air and yelled "Does anyone have a gun?" and continued with "I should go off like in Colorado!" What an idiot! Witnesses were afraid the suspect was going to remove a gun from his backpack and open fire. One of the AMC Theater's security officers found Tabor wearing a back pack and kneeling in the second row of seats. No weapons were found on the suspect, in the movie theater, and its surrounding areas. There were no guns recovered at Tabor's residence. He was just trying to be funny with some really horrible comedic timing. Tabor was booked on suspicion of making criminal threats and held in county jail for more than $51,000 bail. I say well-deserved considering the timing to pull a stunt like that! As a matter of fact, that behavior should not be acceptable anytime in a movie theater!

That wasn't the only incident to happen over the weekend. Out in Pittsburgh, PA, a fight broke out during a Sunday night screening of The Dark Knight Rises. Apparently, the crowd got nervous when two people began shouting at each other during the early evening showing at the  AMC Theater. According to one witness, "There were two people who got into an argument, and one person yelled something that induced people to get into a panic." The fight sparked a stampede for the exits causing some theatergoers to be trampled in the frenzy. Other witnesses admitted that the scene was a scary one with people screaming, running, and kind of pushing each other out of the way. They also said that it was chaotic! At least two of the moviegoers were hurt. Police arrived on the scene, but no one was arrested. Why not? What about the two people who got into a fight? Ever hear of public disturbance? Homestead police stated that theatergoers were likely still on edge from Friday morning's massacre in Colorado. You think? How is causing a raucous in a movie theater acceptable? 

This is why pirating newly released movies and watching them in the privacy of your own home theater should be legal. Nobody gets shot at and we're all comfortable! Not to mention, no screaming kids when you watch movies at home! It really sucks that now we have to stay vigilant even when we go out for dinner and a movie. Why can't the crazies and the trashies just stay home, while the normal get to go out and enjoy their lives? I guess that's a pretty stupid question, huh?
