That was my reaction too... Or hit things in the environment around the child. But I’m hoping that’s just awkward wording.

Johnny Depp didn’t strike me as a wife abuser until he struck his wife. :/

Didn’t she also just represent Johnny Depp? I have very little respect for people who defend abusers. I know someone has to, but I don’t feel like a decent person would want to be in that position.

So you not only haven’t been reading the articles about this case, you didn’t even read the very one you’re commenting on.

Supported by the initial court ruling, which now has no chance of being appealed because Cinemark used their considerable resources to bully the plaintiffs out of seeking a higher court’s opinion.

Or just, you know, close the door. The armed maniac would have faced more obstacles trying to return through the well-lit front entrance and might have been deterred.

Every theatre already has a security alarm system. Security alarm systems have door sensors.

You’ve noticed that too, hunh? It’s like Jez is full of Temporarily Embarrassed Millionaires today.

In reality, a reasonable person might believe that the cinema could have prevented a patron from being able to leave a door propped open for long enough to go out and arm himself in the fashion required to cause this much death and destruction.

Okay, at this point you’re deliberately misrepresenting what I said, and after this comment I’m not going to bother any further.

I would boycott any entity who uses vast resources to bully entities with almost nothing. Where they got those resources is irrelevant.

Farthest. Why do you ask?

Because those victims were not trying to harm or scam the theatre. They legitimately believed that the theatre could have done more to prevent the attack. I don’t believe the theatre is liable, but I do believe they could make a minor change to make a future attack like this harder to pull off.

I’m ending my boycott, mostly because if they don’t get a good reaction from changing and doing the right thing then the next time they or another corporation do something awful, they may not have any incentive to undo their awfulness.

I’ve passed out so many times from heat in my life that I don’t even risk buying long-sleeved clothing. She’s there in a full suit and Kevlar in the 80-something degree sun...I’d never have lasted as long as she did.

I haven’t seen anyone here defending the bad stuff they do. They’re telling you why people are choosing to try to change it from within rather than leaving it. It will still be a giant powerful organization even if all the liberals leave it and would probably do even more damage without that force pulling them back…

If you think they’re quietly begging to differ, you haven’t been paying attention. Check out Catholics for Choice. Check out how much work American nuns have been putting in to push the church forward. It doesn’t happen overnight and it’ll never happen if liberals leave the church. People get a lot out of their…

So not okay. Forcing others to view a sex act they do not consent to is a form of assault.

You are looking at the Catholic Church like it’s a supervillain syndicate. Catholics look at the Catholic Church as a place they go once a week filled with wonderful people who would bend over backwards to help each other out. You see Bill Donohue lobbying for birth control restrictions, but they see their parish…

I regret that I only have one star to give. Consider this comment as a replacement for several more. <3
