While I think spoiler fear is silly. That’s incitement to riot. Guy earned it.
Pretty sure the “keep your hands to yourself” rule isn’t advocated only by liberals.
In fact, seems very conservative to me.
And the “don’t beat on other people” rule even more so.
If this happened in an American inner city, the closet KKK types would trumpeting the racial angle. “Bell curve” “Amish” etc.
plenty of ways to deal with spoiler guy than physically punching.
I just see things as no matter how horribly messed up the world or our country or our town even, at some point we all face the Lord and have to give account for our self. What do you think a just God will reply if you stand there and say “well,he told me the end of the movie as I waited in line to see it so i decked him”?
Now if somebody was verbally or physically assaulting my friend or family there with me, sure get in there and break it up.
But over a stupid movie benefitting really no one but those who made the movie - not worth punching, just say “Great! you saved me $10!” and go do something more worthwhile for 2 hrs.
not stealing? what was stolen? How did the people in line know what the spoiler said was even true? they just assumed and acted on their assumption without having seen the movie or verified somehow. They were not in good control of themselves is a main part of the issue.
Reminds me of the story back in 1980 about a guy who yelled the big reveal from Empire Strikes Back in front of fans waiting in line.
Reminds me of Eddie Murphy’s routine about Italians after they see “Rocky”...
“Hey, paisan, you going in to see Rocky right now?”
“Yeah.”
“lt’s a great ——ing movie. lt’s great. You gonna like this......At the end of this picture, now, just between you and I, I don’t wanna ruin the surprise, but Sly wins this one again.”
That’s taking “#dontspoiltheendgame” to a new level, doesn’t it?
Spoiler alert..... Who would have thought that Thanos would end up a good guy at the end of the movie and join the Avengers? During the end credits Marvel announced the next movie starring Thanos and Ant-Man.
: )
The people in line paid for the excitement of the unknown, and he stole it from them.
Doesn’t matter if what he said was true or not, their venture into the realm of the unknown was no longer there.
Government isn’t always the answer and here the victim s did the right thing.
