The 2-year-old girl kept begging her mother for popcorn during a showing of “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” on Long Island, N.Y.

Keri Karman, 25, seated next to Harley Riggs, snapped at the toddler to keep quiet during the Jan. 2 showing at a Levittown theater, Nassau County police told The New York Daily News. When Harley’s mom, Celia Riggs, 28, told Karman not to talk to her daughter, a wild scene broke out.

Karman cursed and yelled, then clamped her hand over Harley’s mouth. She grabbed a tub of popcorn from Celia Riggs and dumped it over Harley’s head, striking the child with the empty container, the publication reported. Karman and her father, Charles Karman, 61, ran out of the theater while Celia Riggs tried to comfort her sobbing daughter, who suffered a bruise.

Nassau County Police Department detectives used surveillance video and credit card receipts to track down the Karmans, according to the Daily News.

Welcome to that club; as you do, I have it running thorough my head too now. LOL

Oh yes, I loved the whole Indians thing; it's a fascinating topic!

"THE LEATHER STOCKING TALES" and "THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS"...great stuff and books my grandma read to me before I ever even went to school. :-)

To me as well. :-)

As a matter of fact, I so loved those stories as a small child, that I now own a lovely leather bound early edition of the series.

I'm also a big fan of Hawthorne, Washington Irving and quite a few other early American authors. Poe, of course, is a bit later, but my absolute favorite early American author.
