Complain About Cell Phone in Movie, Get Stabbed
Movie theaters will eventually require security check points.
There's nothing more annoying than rowdy moviegoers when you're trying to watch a good flick. While a few "DON'T GO IN THERE" or "WATCH OUT BEHIND YOU" screams every now and then are tolerable and somewhat entertaining, it's perfectly normal to want to snatch that cellphone out of motormouth's hands as he/she sits right behind your ear.
Just make sure motormouth isn't packing a meat thermometer when you do.
The LA Times reports that a dispute at a Lancaster Cinemark 22 movie theater started out as a complaint about cell phone use during the movie, but eventually ended with a meat thermometer plunged into the complainer's neck.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said that the incident took place two weeks ago. A man attending a Saturday night showing of "Shutter Island" complained that a woman near him was using her cell phone. The report indicates that she then left the theater with two men.
Sometime later the two men returned to the theater and stabbed the victim in the throat with the meat thermometer. The suspects fled the scene and are currently still at large. The wounded man was rushed to the emergency room with "serious wounds" and remains hospitalized.
The investigation has offered no explanation as to why the woman and her two accomplices were packing heat in the form of a meat thermometer. The LA Times reports that anyone with information about the attack is asked to call the Lancaster sheriff's station at (661) 948-8466.
UPDATE: We wonder what they would think of the interactive movie that uses cell phones.

Oh wow. I live in Lancaster. So, you're ghetto butt is pissed off because no one else wants to hear your important ghetto cussing conversation and you go home and have you hommies come back to stab the guy with a meat thermometer! Why? And then you run away. Wow. You are so brave. People like you screw up our country. Why don't you stick that thermometer up yours.
That's why I am a weekday movie-goer. The texting gets me. It's like everyone brought a freaking flashlight and then shines it everywhere.
*Facepalm*
I saw this article and thought "It must be Britain". I'm suprised; it wasn't.
now they are serving dinners in some theaters, besides the usual popcorn/candy, etc.,
nothing better then having someone spit food out everywhere as they talk to their friends watching a movie

Exactly. Some people just have zero honor these days. Cowards that would bring a knife to a fist brawl. Used to be you got into a fight, and then it was over, win or lose. Now its like... whether you win or lose, you have to watch out for a knife in the back.
Note to self bring a gun to the theater for all cell phone users... never know which one will have you killed...
Really though this is why i dont go to the movies i have almost gotten into a fight every time in the past few years because im not afraid to tell people to shut up and put their phone away
hmmmm something sounds stereotypical here
great. another excuse for the democrats to reconsider the 2nd amendment as they always do..they dont even care that a gun wasn't involved. its still a legit excuse for them right? some people just love to ruin it for everybody in their crazy mindset. worthless human beings who have no pride in using their common sense or fists. people like this should never breed and should seriously consider suicide.
ha ha ha, stabbed with a thermometer, this is classic
lancaster. lol. try going to a theater in compton or paramount. jagoffs using their cellphones LOUDLY during a movie and hearing "OH SHIT SON" while funny totally distracts from the movie. Haven't been to a theater in 3 months in these cities at least cause it happens every time. $10-$15 for a movie just to have some caca head talk the entire time.
They will not put security checks in a theater because they cannot afford to loose 20-50% of their viewers that will be more than happy to wait till the movie is released than put up with a security check.

I'm 6'7" and have faced down two young punks before. Nevermind that they're black, but there's a respect/authoritarian figure issue with inner city kids these days. We need dads. Real, good, disciplinarian dads. We need to promote corporal punishment while educating parents on where the line is.
A "whoopin" as a kid is preferrable to thirty years of prison later on because daddy wasn't there to beat the crap out of you when you ran your mouth or did something stupid.
We also need to fix this damned court system and make it easier for good dads to be a (much needed) part of their kid's lives.
These days I'd say use the buddy system if you're going out in public. Especially if you're female or not a very big guy like myself. ALWAYS be aware of what's going on around you, even if you're engrossed in a movie. The military teaches awareness, and most terrorism is DOMESTIC.
What's the LA times doing reporting on Lancaster Pennsylvania anyway? Do they even have theaters there? That's where a lot of Amish live...

Just kidding!
Did they atleast get the mans temperature?
Johnny i know what your saying, and im not smaller than these kids and most of them are as old or old than i am, i am only 20... and by almost i mean they start saying something and then back down... i am glad i know how to take care of myself
It is funy when it happens because everyone in the theater loves you afterwards lol
ha ha ha, stabbed with a thermometer, this is classic
O rly?
I live in the High Desert myself. This kinda stupid stuff happens all the time up here. We're pretty damn ghetto.
I greatly enjoy the company my CCW brings. A .38 on my ankle and a Glock 22 just inside my waistband. I've not drawn down on anyone yet, but if I had to, I'm pretty sure it'll be a situation where they will get shot.
Starting a fight with a weapon, with another guy backing you up, while the man was watching a movie. What the fuck!?

i dont think kevin knows there are two lancasters. one in PA and one in CA. but its obvious its the CA one.
this almost tops the "most fucked up" chart in my books. i hope this person gets stabbed with a dildo through the heart.
O rly?
Yes rly.
This is messed up. o.O
That's sad. I hope the victim fully recovers and the LA cops catch those involved. There's too much hate in this world - not enough respect and love for one another.
Welcome to America! The civilised nation!
Almost reminds me of "Scary Movie" in reverse. That is sad, and that should not have happened.
It's really sad... I hate seeing articles like this where innocent people are victims of crime like this.
I hear certain parts of CA are getting really bad... I mean REALLY bad. Friends of mine say that there are places the cops wont even go. Dont know how true it is, but if there's a shred of truth to it there needs to be action taken and quick. This plague of violence is only going to get worse and worse to where there's just gated communities where you can feel safe.
I can't stand the people who blame everyone else about their part in violent crime. I grew up dirt poor and didn't commit violet crime. I had a choice, and my parents guided me to make the right choice and respect others.
And black, hispanic, asian, white or whatever, it doesn't matter... it is what it is and it needs to be taken care of and quick.
always happens in britain....loads of chavs making comments talking making out..laughing and u can;t do anything about it unless u wanna get mugged.
so what was his neck temperature? was he cooked?
You know, I'm going to have to rethink the phrase, "nice to meat you", somehow, people get the wrong idea.

yup, that's something to think about...
