cops at Fahrenheit 9/11 showings

[pstokely]

I saw one before the previews started and another one towards the end of it

1. I think it's a prudent decision on the part of The Theatres

To prevent Freeper rabble-rousers from disrupting.

8. You say Freeper. I say American Brownshirts.

2. 5 in NJ, one eyed me suspiciously. I became paranoid...

... until I noticed he was trying to read my ORGY OF THE DEAD t-shirt.

Makes PLAN 9 look like Citizen Kane.

(I wonder what the hell SEXICOLOR is supposed to be...)

3. I hope they enjoied the flick

I wouldn't mind a couple cops being there to deal with crazed freepers.

4. just a rent-a-cop

not the real deal.

5. Good.

They're there to ensure the theater-owners' business is not interrupted.

And I'm sure they'll find the film interesting.

6. Either that

Or we're all wild-eyed, crazy liberals who might just go on a spontanteous riot at the popcorn stand.

By the way, I know many cops, and damn near all of them are Kerry supporters. Most of them are also planning on seeing this movie this weekend.

7. Rent a cop at entrance of auditorium for 4 oclock showing

at Mayfair Mall in Wauwatosa (a Milwaukee suburb). First time I had ever seen that, though the theater has had lots of security hanging around in the corridors of the mall because of fears of rowdy teenagers.

Maybe they were enforcing the "R" rating or maybe they thought the show would bring in the wild-eyed crazies who would trash the place. I don't know.

There were no visible security around when I left, so patrons of the 7 o'clock showing might not have recieved the same scrutiny.
