LANCASTER-- A man was stabbed in the neck with a meat thermometer after asking a woman to silence her cell phone in a movie theater, a sheriff's department official said.
The stabbing occurred last Saturday at the Cinemark 22 theater at 2600 West Avenue I in Lancaster, according to Detective Richard Cartmill of the Lancaster sheriff's station.
Deputies say that while the movie was playing, a woman was talking on her phone and the victim asked her to turn it off.
The victim was attacked by the woman's boyfriend and another man. Deputies say he was stabbed in the neck with a meat thermometer.
The victim was hospitalized and is expected to survive. Two other people who attempted to help the victim were also injured in the altercation.
Sheriff's officials describe the suspects as black males. One man was wearing an orange hat with an orange jacket or jersey. The other man was dressed in a black hooded sweatshirt.
Anyone with information on the attack is asked to contact the Lancaster sheriff's station at (661) 948-8466.
Maybe they thought they were going to a re-run of that old TV program that would go through a woman’s purse and you would get prizes or money for something really bizarre. Always need to be prepared with a wide array of stuff.
The latest in “weapons of choice” in ‘da hood.
Yawn....
If they made a movie with a compelling storyline, well written script, good acting and kept the leftist propaganda out of it then I might go and see it.
As it is there are thousands of movies out there on DVD that are a hundred times better then any of the drivel coming out of Hollywood today. Movies like “Philadephia Story” with Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart and Katherine Hepburn are still as fresh and funny as they were in 1939. Foreign films like Kwaiden, Secret of Roan Inish, etc. are much more interesting and entertaining then any of the crap coming out of Hollywood. I am going to bet that you have never even heard of those movies despite your claims that anyone who doesn’t go see the current crap out of Hollywood is a “recluse”. It would seem to me that you are the reclusive one for you choose to stay in your little bubble of “current Hollywood films”.
As far a television programs there are some good ones still, I love the remake of “V” (so far-I am going to guess they will start sliding in the heavy lefty propaganda soon on it soon), I find “Flash Forward” very interesting, I own every episode of “Boston Legal” which despite it’s heavy lefty slant was one of the funniest, well acted and written series to have come out in the last twenty years, I love Top Gear (which half a billion people watch, BTW).
As for “participation in society” goes just because I choose not to follow every childish, nihilistic and narcissistic fad and trend does not make me a “recluse”. It makes me a person who still has some modicum of taste and respect for myself and others-a value that is spat upon by what passes for “society” (as you use the term).
No individual race cornered the market on "hoodlums." At 14 years old, I carried a 2 1/2 foot length of chain; I'm white.
I have to admit, when people are on their cell phones in public, they can be pretty rude. One time I was at the grocery going through the self checkout line and there was this one dumb broad on the phone but should would not move and there were three checkout counters open and a long line. A few of us in the line were not too happy. Another time I was returning back to work, there was an exec’s wife in her vehicle and she blocked the way to where I was trying to get to. I tapped the horn a few time and she wouldn’t move. I finally went around her and got this nasty look and middle digit and looking behind me, she proceeded to move where she would more of an obstacle. Since this was at work, I got called in that day and talked to about my “rudeness” and it was relayed to me that made this exec’s wife very upset.
I quit going ages ago...too many morally bankrupt idiots running loose, and the smell..? Ye gads.
Living in NYC, you get a pretty good idea as to the theatres that "they" go to and the theatres that "we" go to. Besides, I don't think that "they" would be interested in "A Single Man" or "Ghost Writer" anyway.
The biggest drop off in motion picture history was after WWII, with the advent of television. It was the major post-war drop off in movie revenues that caused the industry to drop the Hays Code in favor of a rating system.
"Home theatre systems" by contrast, have not, and will not have the massive negative impact that television itself had in the 1950s/60s on the motion picture industry.
If Guns kill people, do pens misspell words?
Especially if you stab them in the liver instead of in the neck...
See, I watch CSI too...
Ten to one the victim was white.
Blacks being loud and rude during a movie to irritate neighboring whites is pretty common.
I personally know of a white couple who was brutally attacked in a movie by blacks when the guy just politely asked them to please put out their cigarette as no smoking was allowed.
The management ignored the smoking because they were intimidated by similar behavior in the past and just let it ride.
My friend thought if he would just ask them nicely they would obey the rules.
Big mistake.
Alan Rickman voices that smoking caterpillar ;-)

The real question is why a white guy would ever take the chance of asking a black person to be polite. Be it a movie theater or an airplane, it isn’t likely to turn out well for the white person.
Nope—I’ll watch movies—but not in movie theaters. I’ll wait until they come out on DVD. Something about paying $10 for the ticket, and another $12 for a flat coke and stale popcorn to have someone yakking over the movie just turns me off.
I wouldn’t know. The only movie theater complex within 25 miles of my home closed down unexpectedly last September, apparently because the owner couldn’t make the rent on the complex (something like over $200K in the hole).
I have one of those. Guess I need to get a holster for it.
Antelope valley, CA but the only reason I knew was the TV station that had the report.
