MANATEE, Fla. (AP) — A group of unruly teenagers attacked a 27-year-old Marine and his wife who had asked them to be quiet during a Christmas night showing of "Little Fockers."
The attack happened as the couple left the theater near Bradenton Saturday night. Authorities say the fight attracted about 300 bystanders.
Federico Freire, home on leave from Afghanistan, says they left the theater shortly after the teens were asked to leave.
The couple was kicked and punched in the parking lot before a gun-brandishing witness told the crowd to step back just before deputies arrived.

BTTT Your post explains a lot of things! Thanks!
Not quite (and it depends on jurisdiction) -- the usual criteria is that you can only display your gun in a threatening manner if you are actually at risk of potentially deadly assault. Generally, being menaced by a hostile mob which has demonstrated willingness to use violence, the criteria are met.

That was kinda funny, but the reality is Obama is not a hood rat.
He is too Elitist for that economic class/culture.

I watched a documentary yesterday called Into The Arms of Strangers, about the Kindertransport at the beginning of WWII. (The lives of 10,000 Jewish children were saved by an ingenious program of "foster parenting" by families in England.)
One woman described how her little German friends shunned her after Hitler rose to power. Another man told of being beaten and thrown through a plate glass window by a group of boys as he was heading to school. It was an idyllic life for some of them until the Austrian non-Jewish children were brainwashed into giving the Nazi salute. They were encouraged to see their former friends as lesser beings and to mistreat them.
Now we have things going on like groupthink regarding reparations, an attorney general who won't prosecute crimes against white people, a soon-to-be-former Speaker of The House making accusations of racism by those who opposed Obamacare, and more.

Did you even read the article?
I had forgotten about the Cincinnati riots. There is a good video on YouTube here:

Excellent movie! I doubt the audience was anything like the one in the theater who came to see Little Fockers.
So, will there be a hate crime charge? Was the victim white? If not, why not?
Yes, that’s it.

Two key points from Florida's Stand Your Ground Law:
More like, those folks you thought were nice people will support "people who look like them" over you if there's any conflict between them and you. Most middle-class folk do not have a gut-level understanding of tribal attitudes.
I love your tagline!
Where to start?
On concealed carry - sometimes it is not self-protection but the ability to protect your wife or children that requires a gun on your person.
The punk who sucker-punched the wife - now there is a courageous young man. I’m sure the Marine would like to return the favor.
I won’t even get into the racial aspect since, whenever the media does not report the perps race it is almost a certainty they are Amish or rogue Swedes.
This is one of the reasons that I carry a G20 with two extra mags when me and the Missus are ‘out on the town’. One mag of 180gr penetrators, the other two are full of carefully hoarded Black Talon. Sure, it’s a big pistol, but there are always ways to manage it.
A number of years ago, a guy’s small child kept putting his sticky hands on my head and hair while I was trying to watch a movie. I tolerated it for awhile (the child was about 3 and was up and down, walking around in the seats behind us). Finally I turned around and asked the parents to please get their child under control. The father got angry and made a comment to the effect that I clearly didn’t know what it was like to raise children. Now... I raised 3 boys and in fact was also a school teacher, so I’m quite familiar with the intricacies of children, both small and large, and I told him so, and in addition told him that it was rude to bring a small child to a movie that was not in fact a children’s movie (this one was rated at least pg13 and was NOT a child’s movie and was an evening showing—clearly they brought the child because they were too cheap to get a baby sitter).
Of course Dad got angry and tried to start a fight with my husband. Ultimately I got the theater manager who asked the family to leave (not because the child was not under control but because the Dad was not under control). Another of my pet peeves, people who bring small children to night time showings of non kid movies instead of getting a sitter. If they must they need to be willing to take them out the moment they start making a fuss or disturbing other people. Sorry that they will lose the price of their ticket but that’s the cost of having kids.
Three hundred people stood by and watched this?? Good grief, no wonder the country is in the toilet.
