Without knowing what was said, if threats were made, if this person actually had the ability to carry out these threats, it is difficult to judge whats right in this case. Name calling and stuff like that doesn't warrant an arrest in my opinion, but if there were legitimate threats made then the police were correct in arresting this person. You can not go around threatening to beat people up any more than you could go into a theater and yell "fire!". Punishing people in cases like this is not a violation of freedom of speech, its showing people there are consequences to their actions.

maybe im just different than most people, but I take movie watching as an experience, not just "seeing the movie", its not enough for me. I wouldn't consider myself an audiophile or videophile, but I am a lot more picky than most folk. Honestly I thought "Surrogates" was a pretty decent flick, nothing terribly special but it was an excellent commentary on this world and how vain people are, and to a lesser extent, how afraid of the world people are.

I think the idea is they put the laptop on the floor and have a decent camera clipped to their hat or something. That's what I would do anyway. I don't really get it anyway, can any one really enjoy and appreciate a movie when watched in such conditions? poor audio, poor picture, why would you want to see a movie like that?

I feel sorry for you, based on this post and others by you I can CONCLUDE that you harbor a great deal of pain and anger, and are the type of person that attributes the worst possible example to anything else that looks similar. I will give you that there are a great number of police officers out there that get their jollys by being a bully, but I can promise you it is not the majority. it is a difficult job emotionaly, some of them are unable to deal with it properly and become hardened. it is unfortunate, but 90% of the police I have met are very nice people and do the job cause they like to help people.

by this study, one could also conclude that this same bacteria would grow in the head of one of those acrobatic water things on the kitchen sink, and the hose extension to the kitchen sink. I use both regularly and ingest a significant ammount of the water from those devices. I should have a lot of health problems if this were really a problem.
