An incident at the Bridgeport Village Regal Cinema in Portland, Oregon, involving multiple law enforcement agencies, turned out to be a comedy of errors. During the movie, "Prisoners," an elderly man stood up and urinated.
It is believed he may have been drinking. The urine fell on a teenager sitting in the row in front of him. This upset a nearby woman who started yelling "Gun!" over and over. Theater patrons began running for the exits, and someone called 911, which led to "a massive response from multiple agencies."
'Investigators tell FOX 12 they quickly figured out what happened after talking to the 14-year-old boy and his family. According to police, it was a woman who suffers from PTSD that saw the confrontation, and for some reason screamed the word "gun" multiple times in the middle of the theater, triggering a mass evacuation. "Obviously with the recent shootings going on, just the mention of the word gun, I find it strange how on edge people seem, and how easily it can turn into a situation when the SWAT team comes out," said Bartlett. The elderly man was not arrested, and the family chose not to press charges. Police say the man is no longer allowed back into the Regal Cinemas at Bridgeport Village.'
No surprise there. The police said the situation served as a good practice for a real emergency, and noted that the response went smoothly.
Funny comments at the link.
“So you can’t yell “fire” in a theater, because it will cause panic, but you can yell “gun” which will cause panic? Got it.”
“What kind of gun did the woman think the old man had - a water pistol filled with urine or something?”
Theater Mgr: They were having a contest to see who could pee the highest on the wall!
SWAT Cmder: What was your reaction to that?
Theater Mgr: I hit the ceiling!
SWAT Cmdr: Well...that means you won doesn’t it?
Next headline.
SWAT teams response causes peeing in the theater.
I can think of a reason, but I'll leave the Freudian psychoanalysis to an expert.
This is the sort of nation that Obama and his Marxists have created. In my more that 8 decades I have never seen a country so f...ed up as we are today. Political correctness, cow towing to those who want to kill us and not punishing those who do are all recipes for the disaster we now see overtaking us. God Save the Republic!
Well at least the swat team responded. They don’t respond at the Navy yard and people aren’t happy. They respond to the old man with bladder control issues and people still arent happy.
“This is my rifle, this is my gun....”
Reminds me of the USMC saying about their rifle and gun, for some reason.
Answer in the envelope: He gets wee-wee’d up all the time!
Fresh urine is so safe that some drink it as part of their health regimen with the belief that it can strengthen their immune system.
But don't drink it to quench your thirst however - the salinity in urine approaches that of seawater so if you must imbibe, chase it down with a clean glass of water or perhaps a jug of Gatorade.
“Urine trouble now.”
It’s sterile as long as the pee’er doesn’t have a medical condition.
“Why did you yell ‘Fire!’ when you fell into the chocolate?”
“Well, nobody would have come if I had yelled ‘CHOCOLATE!’ “
Obviously that shows what the victims at the Naval yard should have done to get the SWAT team in there.
“Name three guys who are famous for being shot in the back of the head.”
As for me, I'll stick with tea, coffee and beer. Pretty much the only liquids I ever drink - with the exception of wine every now and then.
