Like a signed check from Trump with “Bribe Money” written in the memo line, an endorsement on the back saying “Florida Attorney General Pamela Bondi, In My Official Capacity, In Exchange For Dropping The Case, Which Is Being Dropped Solely And Exclusively Because I Received This Money”, accompanied by a briefcase that…

I’m just sad that the Lord & Taylor nickname never took off.

That part hurts me, if they are alive what circumstances are they in? I wouldn’t be able to function if I thought they were alive without me nowhere to be found.

No, that’s not true. I’ve worked at 5 different movie theaters. None had doors alarmed when exited from inside. They either could not be opened from the outside or only alarmed when opened from the outside. There was nothing to turn off. If someone’s about to throw up or has a child having a fit, or any other reason…

No, but the back exits in restaurants or stores aren’t there for that purpose! Those exits in theaters are intended for that purpose, as they’re not solely for use in emergencies! Theaters decide that giving the crowds the option to exit more quickly, clearing the theater for cleaning and relieving crowd pressure from…

Yeah. This thing about seizing on the exit doors and demanding they have alarms is an obvious red herring. I don’t know if these people are really so unobservant that they’ve never noticed that customers use those exits routinely in just about every movie theater, or if it’s just out of some psychological-driven…

Actually, that does sound less realistic and more fearful.

The seeking repayment of court costs was a threat made specifically to get the plaintiffs to settle, as by every legal standard the theater was not liable and the lawsuit was frivolous. Unfortunately, since this was a high profile event, the plaintiffs had many lawyers willing to take the case on contingency hoping…

Pretty much every theater I’ve been to that wasn’t on the upper level of a structure allowed you to exit the theater through the fire exits without setting of an alarm.

The problem with any and all movie theaters I've been to is that after a movie, people are free to leave out the emergency exits. Honestly I don't think they're even called emergency exits because they aren't alarmed and used routinely

Actually there are a lot of people in this country that don’t like or applaud suit happy people. Scrambling to blame someone (who just might happen to have money to give you payday) is disgusting behavior. The sole responsible individual is in prison. Everything else is greed. It sucks that now they have an enormous…

I used to work at a movie theatre (ironically a Cinemark theatre) and having those doors rigged to an alarm is a terrible idea.

You keep saying that, but it’s just not true, especially in the case of most theaters. You’ve honestly never seen a significant part of the crowd leave through the “emergency” exits near the screen rather than mosey along towards the back? You’ve never seen ushers enter and exit through them in the course of their…

$30,000 from a company that is in no way responsible or liable? Yes, I consider that generous. I think any person or entity that makes a financial offer to someone that they don’t have to make one to after a tragedy is generous.

Evidently, however, this was just a door, like the exit doors right there in pretty much every movie theater I’ve ever been in.

not in a courtroom it doesn’t.

There have been about 171,434,736 movie screenings* in America since Aurora, and two shootings in movie theaters.

the disgrace was the families suing in the first place. Just because a few people on comment boards and social media feel bad doesn’t mean you can do whatever the fuck you want legally. They hired ambulance chasing lawyers, turned down a hefty generous settlement offer, and then lost on it. PR? Fuck that. Don’t file…

Won’t bother me or (I’m guessing) the majority of cinema-goers.
