“The theater owner was also complicit for not instantly defusing the situation when he realized a mental handicap was involved.”
I agree. People just so hate persons with down syndrome that they would do this to them. That manager just wanted the man out of there that he did this, am so sure of it. No compassion. Wish the mom could sue them for discrimination against the disabled.
I don't see a case for discrimination when he was enforcing the same rule that applied to everyone. But, I agree he was probably the person most responsible for this kid's death. Unfortunately, there are no laws against being a total a-hole, which is what he was. Any good person would have let the kid watch the movie as many times as he wanted. I doubt the theater was filled to capacity so he wasn't going to lose any money for being sympathetic to an obviously disabled person.
