MANATEE, Fla. (AP) A group of unruly teenagers attacked a 27-year-old Marine and his wife who had asked them to be quiet during a Christmas night showing of "Little Fockers."
The attack happened as the couple left the theater near Bradenton Saturday night. Authorities say the fight attracted about 300 bystanders.
Federico Freire, home on leave from Afghanistan, says they left the theater shortly after the teens were asked to leave.
The couple was kicked and punched in the parking lot before a gun-brandishing witness told the crowd to step back just before deputies arrived.

The real tragedy of this is that the Marine on leave will soon return to Afghanistan and tell his compatriots how dangerous it is “back in the world.”
Corporal punishment. It works. Public pain and public shame. Canings. In public. Certain number of stripes per type of offense, more stripes for subsequent offenses. Cheap, no jail time, saves tons and tons of taxpayer money. And would provide entertaining lessons for wannabees.
And a huge bringback of capital punishment - for child molesting, forcible rape, murder. Public hangings. Cheap, effective, environmentally sound (rope is re-usable).
And no years and years of appeals. One appeal if guilt is in doubt; forget appeals because of legalisms when it’s know the perp did it.
Guarantee things will change.
If anyone wants to squeak about “times have changed” or “we’re not barbarians” etc - criminals are barbarians, and treating them like reasonable people who are just suffering from bad childhoods and all they need is a little time out and they’ll become responsible members of society is - PART OF THE PROBLEM!
When this happens in a business environment, you will witness a complete breakdown of the administrative structure, and see work processes grind to a standstill.
This is a good reason to “STAY SAFE & STAY ARMED!”
Fifteen to one? What to do, what to do...

Those of you who have “been around” for a while may remember the Spring 1964 incident in NY city when Kitty Genovese was stabbed to death in FRont of witnesses who would not “get involved.” She died of massive stab wounds.
I made up my mind then that I would not be a victim, nor would I allow anyone else to be a victim, of such a heinous crime, and armed myself.
So far, it has worked!
Nah, the same stuff was going on before Obama got elected. It’s been going on for a long time, you just never hear about it. If a gang of white kids beat up an African-American, you would hear about it endlessly for days.
He will probably wonder why he’s risking his life for people who would punch his wife in the face.
Not here you won’t. Knock it off!
I’m afraid they all will.
When a deputy asked one juvenile to leave several times, the teenager refused and hit the deputy, the release said.
LEAVE? THE POLICE ASKED HIM TO LEAVE?
THERE IS NO JUSTICE AND NO PROTECTION IN THE US
Sorry to be way behind the curve here, but what’s a Little Focker?
Reference bump! ;-)
What to do? ID the ones that look like the instigators, tap-tap to the T-space, repeat until slide lock and reload...
A victim of MooChell’s gubmint slim down plan. Maybe MooChell should teach manners instead, if she had some to share.
I believe that the 300 bystanders were on the side of the amish.
