Journalism has lost all professionalism. A true reporter would have learned and published the temperature.

[Grizzled Bear]

The real question is who the hell brings a meat thermometer to a movie theater?

[HiTech RedNeck]

That’s a bizarre item to have in a cinema. But again, a budding chef, like a Boy Scout, must always be prepared!

[goodnesswins]

No guns or knives allowed....but meat thermometers okay....they have a nice SHARP point....BAN all MEAT THERMOMETERS!!!/s

[notpoliticallycorewrecked]

What was the meat thermometer all about. I mean, how many people carry one????

[lmr]

If that fried chicken ain’t cooked at 325 for at least 15 minutes, you can have food poisoning. It’s always advised to carry a meat thermometer because you never know when you’ll be cooking fried chicken.

[Jagdgewehr]

All I can say is, don't bring your meat thermometer to a gun fight.

That's what it's going to escalate to if you try and stab me with one.

[abigailsmybaby]

I ALWAYS take my meat thermometer with me EVERY where I go. ALWAYS.

[HiTech RedNeck]

I could see a scenario of the couple having just shopped in a kitchen supply store before going to the movie, and the hot tempered lady hauls it out of the bag and smacks it into the phone offender’s neck with the boyfriend’s help.

But overall it’s still — bizarre.

The real question is who the hell brings a meat thermometer to a movie theater?

EXACTLY!

[DemforBush]

"The victim was attacked by the woman's boyfriend and another man."

Effin' gutless.

[4rcane]

the politicians would be on this case soon

[Cementjungle]

Two other people who attempted to help the victim were also injured in the altercation

It must have been a semi-automatic meat thermometer.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Why wasn’t the offender nabbed? Were bystanders afraid he might have corn cob handles in that bag too?

[GOP Poet]

yes. Gotta make sure that popcorn butter is 160 degrees.

[4rcane]

theres road rage. What do you call this? Cinema Rage? Always annoying when ppl continue to talk in their mobile on the phone and ignoring other movie goers

[Krankor]

Oh, so that was a meat thermometer in your pocket.

[DemforBush]

As for the meat thermometer...well, it *is* a metal spike. Not a particularly sharp or strong one, but enough to stab a guy with, as the poor guy in the story found out. I figure that’s why she was carrying it - as a shiv.

Me, I’d look for something a little sturdier, but you know, nobody ever accused most thugs of being smart.

[DJ MacWoW]

It’s as good a weapon as an ice pick and small enough to carry hidden in a pocket.

[whatisthetruth]

Okay fine, but I only have one question about all this, What movie were they watching?
