Good for them. I am beyond sick of people in theatres trying to impress everyone with their 'bling' with their 10,000,000 lumen bright blue cricket phones in the middle of a movie. It is uncalled for.
Hmm how much would it cost for theatres to put sheet metal plating behind every wall...
Or a microwave EMI jammer.

Methinks you didn't read and/or comprehend the damn article, nor were you there. The police report tells you all you need to know.
I wouldn't have pepper sprayed them. I would have beaten them with my club.
Last weekend my buddies and I went to see Bourne Supremacy at a Beverly Cinemas down here at UIUC. There was a couple right in front of us that received about a total of about 8 phone calls during the movie, not the credits. The lady had her phone on vibrate but still she's a biotch for answering...at least she was somewhat quite. The guy she was with had his on ring and took his sweet time picking it up. He spoke pretty loudly and he would not put his phone on vibrate afterwards...we heard his phone ring a total of 5 times...he just kept answering. To top it off, both of them had modified their phones so they were clear and had white leds. Then in the very back of the theatre, yet another phone goes off and this guys talking real loud. If I were a cop I would have just bashed their heads in from behind -_-

i agree. i mean, there's even reminders before the feature even starts now! do theatres have to start a zero-tolerance policy? if your phone rings mid-movie and you decide to hold a conversation, you get kicked out of the movie.
david cross puts it best... he got a call during one of his stand-up acts, and he stops mid-dialogue and goes: "naw, go ahead and answer it. just pick it up and say 'im an inconsiderate as*hole who forgot to turn my phone off" and hang-up." then he continues: "ok, i understand the first few times after cell phones came out that people forgot, but its been years! its a simple button, just push it and set it to viberate or silent". seriously, how hard is it to put the phone on viberate before the movie? when you get a call look at the caller id and if you need to answer it, go outside to the lobby! sheesh!
This is when you getup and leave and get a refund and tell the manager WHY you're getting up and leaving. Unfortunatly that's about all you CAN do I mean you can ASK the inconsiderate assnecks to turn the crap off but if they haven't already then they're likely not going to now. The first thing I do as I enter the theater (usually while standing in line for the obligatory popcorn and coke) is turn my pager and/or phone (depending on what I have with me) to vibrate, if I see a call come in that's likely an emergency I go into the hallway to talk.
I'd be ALL FOR cell phone blocking in theaters. Heck just put metal roofs on the buildings that'll stop a good bit, my favorite petstore is an all metal building and talking on a cell phone inside his store is impossible, you can go near his front windows and get a signal though. No windows in theaters
Rodney King got what he deserved. Major media outlets didn't show the whole video, only the beating. They failed to show the part where he got TASERed, then GOT BACK UP and rushed the officers. This is considering that most law enforcement carries TASERs that continue to cycle a minor charge through the victims every minute or so after the initial jolt, to keep the suspect incapacitated. The big jolt knocked him off his feet and he got right back up. He was so doped up he wasn't feeling any pain.
Yes, I realize you were being sarcastic, but there are those that still think Rodney King is some sort of martyr. Probably those that used the riots as an opportunity to get themselves a new television.

I agree. I've also heard they argued with the cop. Bad idea.
EDIT: Looks like updates confirmed that.
They suffered no permanent damage and hopefully learned a lesson. RUDE people and their cellphones...

I agree. Even Chris Rock said, jokingly but truthfully, "Rodney wouldn't have gotten his ass beat if he'd have just OBEYED THE LAW".Originally posted by: JulesMaximus

So, are you saying you get dumber?!?
No, I'm just saying that I stand by what I posted. By the names of the parties involved, and the incident described, I drew my own conclusions. If they're wrong, then so be it, but that's the way I see the two "victims" and I feel nothing for them.
Edit: And here are the mug shots of the 2 alleged "victims". HAHAHAHA OWNED! You tell me they don't look like a couple of loud, obnoxious, sh!t talking troublemakers.
I'm sorry, I forgot you had the ability to judge a person based on looks alone. What's that power called?
Oh right, uninformed prejudicial bias. You sir, are a troll.
Call me what you want, but after reading the articles and accounts of what happened, and seeing their pictures, I can very easily see these two "victims" escalating the situation and trying to get roughneck with the officer. In my mind, they got what they deserved.
Have fun at your next ACLU or Rainbow Coalition gathering.
:thumbsup:

How about spraying the cop in his face with 20 molar HCl, I think that would put a stop to his pepper spraying problems.
He should be brought up for criminal assault put on permanent suspension and permanently banned from possessing any firearm or any chemical weapon.
They were out I cannot see any reason for that.
Cops have gone insane lately and they should be treated like the maniacs they are.
I am quite late in the post so probably somebody mentioned something like this, or at least I hope.
