The Thug [the sucker punch should have given it away]
Posted on 07/23/2023 6:24:54 AM PDT by thegagline
The moviegoer who was brutally beaten over a seat at a Florida theater earlier this month said he suffered a broken nose as his attacker “just went to town,” according to a report.
“I couldn’t even get a defensive shot in,” the man told NBC Miami. “It happened so fast, he basically sucker-punched me is what he did.”
The 63-year-old victim, who wished to remain anonymous, and his wife purchased VIP tickets for ‘Insidious: The Red Door’ at the AMC Pompano Theater in Florida on July 10, which included advanced seat selection.
The victim said he “politely” asked a couple who had sat in his seats to move moments before the confrontation became physical.
According to NBC Miami, the man cut his losses and started to look for a seat elsewhere while the aggressor “just kept staring.”
“As I’m walking away, he said ‘go run to your wife little boy,” the victim told the outlet. “I turned around and I said ‘you know I’m not the one who’s being a little boy, you took my seats and you didn’t apologize or you didn’t say thank you and I let you keep them.'” *** The alleged attacker, who wore a black shirt and red shorts, unleashed a barrage of punches as the man lay on the ground in front of horrified patrons, according to footage released by the Broward County Police Department. ***

The Thug [the sucker punch should have given it away]
I already knew. It’s like ESP or something.
Since it’s Florida and not California or New York, at least there’s a possibility the thug will do some jail time when he gets caught.
Gosh, what a surprise. How entirely unpredictable.
Yep.
What did Scott Adams say again?
Was it to make friends?
Movie goers can be a pretty rough crowd. Once they get a diet Coke and an industrial strength bag of popcorn delivered to them at their lounger, they slide off into the vicarious zone mode and it’s all over for those sitting nearby.
“basically sucker-punched me”
Works almost every time. Usually there are several of them. And they like easy targets. Older people.
Unfortunately, when you are in public. you have to constantly watch your surroundings...and be prepared to react.
Like there's a possibility that pigs will grow wings and fly.
The initial mistake was going to watch a horror film in a theater in Pompano Beach, FL, given the city's current demographics.
The victim should have seen it coming—the mass media brainwashing probably got in the way....
Can’t tell if he is indigenous to these parts.
It would seem no one in the area was carrying…too bad.
The the white guy was probably a former slave owner so he deserve what he get.
Hes BLACK! I AM SHOCKED!
Yeah, he was oppressing him.
“500 yards at all times.” Works for Grizzly bears…
That guy’s grandfather sucker punched me in a downtown Ithaca, NY movie theater in 1964 when I was 13. I’d asked his sister (who was in front of us) to quit acting out and ruining the movie. She kept it up. I got the theater manager and he got her to be quiet. What the movie was over, I had just moved into the aisle when a hand on my shoulder wheeled me around and “BAM” a right hook to my head. I dropped and he took off.
I learned my valuable lesson about the “colorful mosaic of diversity” early in life.
“I couldn’t even get a defensive shot in,” the man told NBC Miami. “It happened so fast, he basically sucker-punched me is what he did.”
I would expect this given what was in the seat I had paid for. Go get management, let’s see what they do.
Since this is Florida, hopefully law enforcement is looking for this violent thug.
On the bright side, you met Ithaca’s only black person and learned a valuable lesson.
As for Ithaca, I still have vivid memories of clouds racing across a cold lake Cayuga. Eerie and beautiful.
