Though I do not condone the violent action of this man, I can certainly understand his chagrin. A movie theater is like a library; Quiet, please. I have gone to a few movies that were made unenjoyable because some yokel couldn't shut his/her mouth. Or worse yet, bring small children to movies that are marked PG-13 or higher. The kid usually starts crying and the parent, instead of taking the child out, either scolds them or ignores them. If you can't get a sitter, go to a movie geared to the child's age level not yours. Or better yet, buy or rent a movie and have an at home movie party. Some of the best times my kids and I had were our Saturday night movie nights. We'd make a big bowl of popcorn, get our sleeping bags, and pop in a movie we could all enjoy. Do I feel sorry for the man that was shot? Not really. I do feel sorry that the guy who shot him couldn't find a better way to deal with his anger. Why not report the imbecile and his family to the theater people and have the guy told to quiet down or leave? Makes a lot more sense.
