    It may also have contributed to the disappearance (from the Red Room at least) of our coterie of Trump apologists. :)

    Horrible decision.

    1.) The victim was texting his babysitter, and it's none of that guy's damn business anyway. Welcome to the 21st century.
    2.) The guy tried to claim that the victim threw his phone at him, but witnesses said that was not the case.
    3.) The victim threw popcorn at him, but so what? Popcorn is not classified as a weapon and that doesn't justify him being shot. He should have minded his own business or went to an usher(that's why they're there.)

    The guy should have been locked in a hole for the rest of his days.

    So, we're up to traffic inconvenience, and theater inconvenience that necessitate murder in UA-land.

    One of the problems ends up that there is no enforcement of the actual rules by the business. This is going to lead to some people confronting others based upon the rules. The movie theater is not going to do a fucking thing about people using cell phones unless it is really bad, or they are a certain darker shade of brown. As soon as you go to point it out to some asshat they are going to become belligerent and entitled themselves.

    You simply know you are never going to get anywhere. I walk into the supermarket and I have a dog sniffing and licking my fucking leg. I have scrapes on my legs and now I have a creature that eats shit smearing it with feces. I look at the woman and tell her there are no dogs allowed and she says she it is a service dog being trained by her. Fuck no a whipit is not a service dog, and service dogs do not sniff, beg, and lick other people. So I report her to the store, and they are not going to do anything. The dog is fucking licking my fucking scrape, and bitch let it happen. Get the fucking dog out of the store as per the fucking policy because it is not a service animal. But the reason the dog is in the store is because the staff does nothing to stop their entrance.

    The business needs to enforce it's rules because you have an expectation due to the posted rules. I have an expectation that cell phones are not allowed during a movie because that is the rule. I have an expectation that people do not talk during the movies because that is the posted rule. It is not enforced, so it is not a rule. I am not spending 15-20 dollars on a movie ticket to hear other people talk during a movie. I am not going to the theater anymore.

    You are going to have these escalations because in the end the rules, not laws, are not enforced by the staff which means people are going to argue over it. If these are not the rules of your establishment then do not post them. I do not want to shop with people's dogs (or other animals), and I would go to a place that actually denies them over the place that does. I am sure the dog owners would shop at a place where they could bring their shit eating mops. Just enforce the fucking rules you set so we do not have to fight with each other. Make a movie theater where you can talk and use your phones. I bet you get people to watch movies there.

    Never heard of anyone getting an infection from a dog lick. I had a spitz that had ear issues as a puppy, which made her an ear hygiene Nazi. She'd clean the ears of our other dog, the cats, and us. We thought it was hilarious, but for her, it was serious business.

    RIP Gabby. Our ears are a far dirtier with your passing. :salute:

    I am talking about a dog lick on a wound, not on regular skin. The only thing that kept me from kicking the dog was that I am presently on antibiotics. I have healing problems, and my neuropathy causes me to sometimes scratch until a nail breaks and the jagged part tears up the skin which becomes a bigger issue because of my diabetes. Your dog eats shit. It loves shit. That shit, and other things, live in it's mouth and gets on it's tongue.

    I do not even care if I do not have a wound the dog is licking, I do not want your drooly POS licking me in public places. Is it OK that I just do not want to be licked? It is one thing if I go to an area made for animals, but your standard shit eating dog does not belong next to me in the supermarket. WTF is wrong with dog people that they think their dirty shit mouthed animal licking other people in a public place is something that we should put up with? I do not care if I am not getting an infection because your dog decided to lick my bare skin, I did not sign up for that shit in public.

    At the dog's home is a different story and even in neighborhoods where a dog has to be walked I have less issue, but I do not want your fucking animal around me in the grocery store, mall, train, plane, government building, eatery, or other public area that is not a park. It is a disgusting fucking thing. I should start carrying around my emotional support skunk. That is the emotional support animal of an introvert. That and a god damned porcupine. I am going to bring one of them around too so when your nosy shit eater comes over to investigate it goes home bleeding. I do not care because I can't feel my shins anyway.
