When The Title Says It All
By Mitch Berg
Goons disrupt a showing of Dennis Prager and Adam Carolla’s No Safe Spaces, in – where else – California:
“After all of the previews and ads were over and the movie was just starting, two thugs sporting hoodies, masks, sunglasses and carrying huge duffel bags ran, not walked, up the aisle and sat at the back of the theater right behind us. They looked like bank robbers, home invasion criminals… they were trying to act scary,” a moviegoer named Vanessa, who asked for her last name not be used, told Fox News.
“As you can imagine, I was nervous that they were planning something even more nefarious than just visual intimidation,” Vanessa said.
Vanessa and other moviegoers complained to the theater and called the police. She said she was issued a refund and left.
“When the manager went in to check on them they had removed all intimidating items. They knew what they were doing,” Vanessa said. “Potential criminals got to stay while we had to leave because we were afraid they might do something violent. My son did not want to leave because he didn’t want them to succeed in their plan of intimidation and free speech suppression. But I told him a movie was not worth our lives in case they had weapons or something.”
I figured this would happen. The movie commits, to Big Left, the ultimate sin: it tells the truth about it.
By the way – I highly recommend you see it. I caught a screening a few weeks ago – and it’s everything I’d hoped. I may have to do a proper review.
In re this incident? The cops never filed a report.
“They came full sprint to the top of the theater with bandanas on their face,” another attendee, Scott Stroud, confirmed to Fox News.
Stroud said that he pressured management to call the police, and they eventually obliged after initially downplaying the situation and assuring that the backpacks of the men were searched. Stroud said he explained the subject matter of the movie to theater workers in an effort to be taken seriously.
Stroud said police told him theater management didn’t think it was necessary to investigate further, but he disagrees.
It’s California. Progs get a pass. Sort of like Saint Paul.
Not that I want to see anything terrible happen, but it’d be just a shame – a shame – if one of those wannabe thugs gave someone just enough reasonable fear of death or great bodily harm to get his face legitimately blown into the next county.
No, I said a shame. We just do not want this to happen.

I don’t want it to happen, but the sad fact is that until something does happen like this–either a near miss or a justifiable homicide–extremists on the left are going to think they have carte blanche to do this kind of stunt. It’s either the police start making arrests for blatant provocations, or at some point, people are going to respond to the provocation with horrendous results for the leftist provocateurs.

Am I the only one that would have gone and plopped down right next to them, and spent the rest of the show with my hand tucked inside my jacket?

That’s what I was thinking, Swiftee.

I’m 6’2″, 250-260 lbs. My voice has raised in pitch over the decades. I used to have a nice deep bass voice, but am now more of a middle to high baritone.
That said, I probably would have done the exact same thing. Gotten up, sat right next to them, and said loudly “Hey guys! This ought to be an interesting movie, doncha think? However, It’ll be hard for me to pay attention to the movie with you two wonderful fellas sitting next to me acting AWFULLY suspicious. I’m sure the other men in this theater agree, right folks?”

They are counting on you not fighting back, just as they are counting on never having to deal with any personal or legal repercussions for their actions.
This is because they are the militant wing of the establishment.

Bill I am a similar build. Its awesome being able to intimidate little antifa cucks without raising a fist. Which is what I 100% bet they were. Also clearly the massive irony of them doing this is lost on them since they probably dont have the IQ to understand it.

Thank you, Swiftee. That is pure genius….especially, of course, if there happens to be something inside that jacket. Not that I would, of course. I’m deathly terrified of guns and lost all of mine in a sad boating accident.

BB, what the hell were you doing on that boating trip?

PoD;
I’ll tell you exactly what bb was doing on the boat trip. He violating one of the first (and old time) rules of boating; he stood up! 🙂

And from the compendium of insane “journalists,” this hit piece on Fox from the “non-partisan” publication Wired: “Fox News Is Now a Threat to National Security”
https://ww w.wired.com/story/fox-news-is-now-a-threat-to-national-security/
Sub head:”Fox’s bubble reality creates a situation where it’s impossible to have the conversations and debate necessary to function as a democracy.”
That’s right, the pinhead “journalist” who wrote this thinks that democratic debate can only occurr when the people with unfavorable opinions are made to STFU.

Dennis Prager is now interviewing a couple people that were there on his show.
