There are some low lifes who will be more than willing to give you a black eye or concussion just for asking them to quiet down in a dark theater. It’s even more vicious if you are of a different race, sex or social status than the offender. I don’t even blink my headlights any more if an approaching driver has his brights on. That’s how fragile some egos are today. That’s how it seems anyway.
Yup - I’ve been shot at on the Southwest freeway in Houston... so you’re not telling me something I don’t know. That doesn’t mean we just let people do things. If you’re uncomfortable or fearful about confrontation then let the business handle it. Guys like that should have been punked hard.
