One of the big stories in the news today was about the man who was shot and killed at the movies because his texting during the PREVIEWS was annoying another man. THE PREVIEWS!!!
From what I've heard, words were exchanged and next thing you know, someone's DEAD.
Between this killing and the one that happened a while back in Colorado, it kinda makes one wonder if it's even safe to go to the movies anymore.
I'll admit that the last time I went a couple weeks ago I did look around to see where the nearest exit was...not in case of fire, but in case of CRAZY.
And that's sad. Just sad.
Gone are the days where you could just go to the movies, shut everything out, and expect to be entertained by the big screen. Now we have to be wary of what's going on around us before and during the movie...at least I am. Before these theater killings I never even paid attention to people coming in during the movie. Now, when I see someone walk in halfway through the show, I find myself watching what they're doing and where they're going. Things I would've never done 5 years ago. No, I'm not paranoid, I'm just cautious and aware...because I have to be.
In addition to the fact that these killings have been absolutely senseless, one has to wonder why fuses are so short these days. I mean really...to shoot and kill someone because they're texting?!? My mind can't even make sense of that. There were so many other ways that the situation could have been handled, but because human life is regarded at such a low level, the shooter thought nothing of just pulling the trigger and then sitting back in his seat. Crazy...just crazy.
So anyway..."Ride Along" comes out this weekend and I wanna go see it. More than likely, I WILL go see it...AT THE THEATER. Why? Because I don't live my life in FEAR...I simply LIVE my life.
How 'bout you?
Let the DIALOGUE begin: Will these random killings stop YOU from going to the movie theater?
Talk to me!
Til next time...
