Man shot for talking loudly during Brad Pitt film

Dec 27, 2008, 22:36 GMT

Washington - A Philadelphia resident, enraged because a family was talking loudly during a film, threw popcorn at a boy and shot his father, it was reported Saturday.

James Joseph Cialella Jr, 29, was charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault and weapons violations for shooting another film- goer in the left arm, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported.

Cialella was furious for being disturbed while watching The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which stars Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett.

'It's truly frightening when you see something like this evolve into such violence ... that something like this leads to a shooting in a movie theatre,' police spokesman Lieutenant Frank Vanore was quoted as saying.

Cialella first asked the talkative family to quieten down and threw popcorn at a boy who was talking to his father. Next, Cialella and the father got into an argument, which turned physical and Cialella whipped out a handgun and shot the man.

Police said Cialella returned to his seat and continued watching the film.

Regale us with the democratic, peaceful, prosperous nation you hail from.

America has some glaring problems, but, in it's short, 200-plus history, we've managed to throw off our f--king coloial oppressors, yes, those c--ks--king assholes, settle a continent, stop the slavery started by the Brits and Europeans who enslaved us, built the transcontinental railroad, developed manned flight, built the panama canal, modern research and development, the electric light, the telephone, modern mass production, the most efficent farm system in the world, the crawler tractor, the semiconductor, the microchip, modern petroleum recovery, supersonic flight, atomic power, the Internet and most of the modern software and hardware used in the world today.

We did all of this while avoiding the phenomena of feeding the peoples of the world that perhaps annoy us into human meat processors and cookers, saved the Europenas from themselves i.e. the scum of humanity, twice, and successfully defended ourselves from an attack by a second facist foreign power.

So, William, while one person had a meltdown, in a nation of 300 million, I would have to come to the conclusion that you are just-a-little-more-than-full of crap. Go process that with your razor sharp insight and be sure to get back to us.

'stop the slavery started by the Brits and Europeans who enslaved us'
So, the white supremacist is now claiming to be a person of color.

'we've managed to throw off our f--king coloial oppressors, yes, those c--ks--king assholes,'
Well, you 'f--king coloial, c--ks--king asshole', YOU are a descendant of the very people you condemn. How do you like them apples a-hole?
By the way EssPee, the word is colonial, not colial. But in your case the emphasis should be heavily placed on the colon part, for you are more than full of sh*t. Go and have another hit from the crack pipe and complete your own meltdown, druggie.

SP4 - ...talk about missing the point...I mean...jesus!

'we've managed to throw off our f--king coloial oppressors, yes, those c--ks--king assholes,'

SP4 - yep...that I said..no ambiguities there, eh???

Well, you 'f--king coloial, c--ks--king asshole', YOU are a descendant of the very people you condemn.

SP4 - try talking about something you know about, professor Bong. Heck, we probably would have to wait four years, or so, but I'd be happy to let you get back to me!

How do you like them apples a-hole?

SP4 - ...besides the fact that you are wrong in your 1st premise? Tell us, professor, how do you like those apples?

By the way EssPee, the word is colonial, not colial.

SP4 - point taken. Now, run and pat yourself on the back for using a machine to spell for you. Gee, I'm impressed....

But in your case the emphasis should be heavily placed on the colon part, for you are more than full of sh*t. Go and have another hit from the crack pipe and complete your own meltdown, druggie.

SP4 - more insults that, still, do not make me wrong, even if my spelling is. Now, run along, child, grow up, inform yourself and then, when you have something meaningful to say, in about 20 years, come talk to the rest of us.

Please refrain from always saying 'get back to us', because there is no 'us' - don't lump the rest of us in your 'holier than thou', inept requests. The name of the game is concealed weapons, and as long as people have them, there will always be confrontations of this sort - here and anywhere else in the world. Location, ancestry, etc., have nothing to do with it! And as far as spell check is concerned - if memory serves me, I believe you've managed to spout out to others to use their spell check from time to time.

Oh come on people! Haven't you ever had the urge to do something like that? Sure, you never act on it, but he did, and now he's going to jail. I don't think that the problem is that we're stupid Americans, I think that the problem is that we are stupid humans.

I've honestly thought about getting violent with rude people in the theatre myself, luckily for them, I can keep my temper under control. This doesn't have anything to do with weapons, it has to do with a nutbar who needs anger management courses. When will people start minding their friggin' manners like they used to? I can remember when people used to be polite in public. Did I just date myself?

..while it was not my goal, anyone who gets pissed off at my prose means they are at least reading it and, possibly, comprehending it. This is a good sign, Dan. Like Charlton Heston, once a close follower of John F. Kennedy said 'I passed a Barry Goldwater campaign slogan that said '..in your heart, you know I'm right!' and said to myself 'you know, he IS right' and became a conservative on the spot!'
