You're no fun. Now we can't keep on whining about someone "getting maced for talking on the phone," while ignoring completely that this is an issue of the right of a theater owner to exclude anyone for anything he wants - whether talking on the phone, using a laser pointer, throwing popcorn, cleaning his gun, whatever. And that refusal to leave can be answered by reasonable and necessary force.

In fact, some of the whiners would have been the first to brag that a trespasser on their own property would have had to face their friends Smith and Wesson.

But not a theater owner. No, he becomes a Nazi because he won't let poor patron exercise consitutional right to yack on phone. No property rights for you, Mr. Theater Owner!

GREAT POINT! Funny how folks forget about PRIVATE PROPERTY and what TRESPASSING means. When asked to LEAVE, YOU LEAVE! Period! There is no arguing it. Once you open your mouth to an officer, by definition of the law, you are RESISTING. If you exhibit a threatening gesture, you're going to get: (A) bounced on the ground, (B) Pepper-sprayed, (C) Arrested, (D) all of the above.

The correct answer is D.

The bottom line is know the law you are subjected to. Warronnicaaaaa and the other POS were wrong.
