BOLO for idiots with a death wish.

If this had been in Texas it would have ended something like this.

"Upon arrival to the theater the police had to remove irate movie goers off of the pranksters. After rescuing the pranksters from the crowd, they were delivered from the scene in an ambulance."

Ban leaf blowers

But was it a "no leaf blower" zone?

That's a best case scenario. Given the recent incidents, I'd say there's a pretty good chance the "pranksters" are removed by the coroner.

IDK, but I've never seen a "No Leaf Blower" sign.

“People started screaming, and everybody got up and started running, like fight-or-flight, and some lady pushed me and I fell on the ground, and like seven or eight people trampled over my leg, and over my head.”

I don't think most Texans would be screaming like the moviegoers in Newport Beach.

Maybe they would be screaming "get down, get down" to the people who were in their line of fire.

Back in my day a prank was a prank. Now it's an act of terrorism, when I was in high school about five of us toilet papered a teachers house. The police weren't called it didn't make the news.

I understand that anything that happens in a movie theater puts everyone in edge but that's probably why the boys did it.

The word "prank" is a euphemism for causing others pain.

At the heart of every so-called prank is malicious intent. The so-called "prankster" gets to laugh at the expense of innocent people's suffering. Yeah, that's really funny stuff.

When their acts are pointed out to be evil, so-called "pranksters" respond with their lame excuse that those who cry "FOUL" have no sense of humor.

Their sickening acts should land them in prison.

A harmless prank is one thing. This was just outright stupidity. They knew exactly what they were going to cause.

This is equivalent [probably worse] to yelling fire in a crowded theater.

Yes, teenage boys do stupid stuff.They are all testosterone and no brain and they will have a great story to tell and we are adding to it.

Amen! I'm glad I did.

It's not a matter of stupidity per se, it's a lack of consideration regarding what harm their actions might cause.
