Are you nervous about going to movie theaters? Should security be changed?
-
I do occasionally think about it when I go, but this could happen anywhere that there is a group of people and I'm not going to just stay home, so not much to do about it.
-
The best movie theater is the one in your living room these days.
-
^^ I agree.
I dont think i'll be going to a movie theater anytime soon.. scary
-
I stopped long ago after the Colorado shooting, I will gladly wait a year or more for a movie to come out on HBO or what not
-

I fully expect metal detectors in theaters now. :P They're everywhere.
I don't believe you can reasonably expect to be completely safe wherever you are, whether it's on an airplane, in a movie theater or in your bed. Why limit your life because there are crazies out there?
Besides, it it's your time to go, it's your time to go. :angel11:

You cannot stop the mentally ill no matter what but I do wonder how he managed to acquire guns since he was known to be mentally ill for years, even though he did buy it in Alabama not Louisiana. A background check should have picked up on his mental problems.
-
I think metal detectors are probably the simplest solution. Although, that probably means another jacking up of ticket prices in the near future. >:(
It doesn't stop me from going. You can't be truly safe anywhere. Movie theaters are no different than anywhere else in that respect.

I was at an AMC not too long ago, & had completely forgotten about the shootings, until the employees came in to do checks... checks on the security door, periodic checks while the movie was going on, then it became unnerving because it was in your face, I don't want to be reminded on shootings, a horrible tragedy, while I am at a movie to escape reality for a few hours, especially being there with small children. I appreciate the checks, especially the security door, but I don't want reminders, the checks aren't going to stop a crazy man with a gun. Cameras in the theater, silent alarms on the security doors, metal detectors when walking through the theater would be better options.
Oh yeah, they had an announcement before the movie to report suspicious activity, don't stay silent... so much for a peaceful movie experience when you have to be on guard while watching the movie I paid a lot of money to view.
On a side note, I saw Minions at a Regal last week, and there was no "reminders" just a regular movie experience.
-
It is horrible that people cant do something as simple as go to a theater, but wherever people gather, it will draw the nut jobs.
I dont go because it is nasty and ridiculously expensive. I imagine if they start adding security and metal detectors then you will be dealing with even higher prices. I don't know what the answer is but think along the same lines as someone else on here already said, you just can't expect to be safe anywhere much these days.
-
These days anything can happen anywhere! That won't stop me from going to the movies as often as I can! We love the whole "movie experience"!!
-
Security measures such as hiring armed guards and installing sophisticated surveillance equipment may be considered too expensive for the theater industry, which generally operates on low profit margins.
-
To be fair going anywhere nowadays is dangerous cause it ain't save nowhere which is sad
-

No security should not be charged. I don't even know that a movie theater has security. It is the responsibility of the shooter and no one else. Not the person who sold the gun, not the person who sold the bullets, not the parents. The person who pulled the trigger. And he offed himself at the end so there is no one to punish.
Personally, I don't like being out in public anywhere. But I have to work and I have to shop for things like groceries so it is not possible to stay home all the time.
We have a security guy where I work but only one and he is not there 24-7. And if someone walks in the establishment and opens fire it would be crazy and unfair to charge the security guy. Or even the owners of the business. That is just crazy.
People just want someone punished. They don't care if it is the person who is actually responsible.
-
If there is security in the movie theater, there should be where you walk in through a scanner and security check your pocket book or wallets for any illegal weapon. The theaters in my state has high tech security.
-

I agree, you can not just stop living. But I do try to be as cautious as possible.

I agree, you cannot just stop doing everything. In some countries these things happen on the busses and trains, you have to go to work.
-
It is something I think about when I go to the movies nowadays, but it doesn't prevent me from going. In reality, this could happen anywhere at anytime. It's really sad. As for security, I do expect metal detectors to be placed at movie theaters in the future.

It is starting to get concerning....

It is starting to get concerning....
Starting????LOL!!
Time and unforseen occurrence befalls everyone.You dont have to be in just a movie theatre.Wrong place wrong time can be anywheres as long as wickedness exists in this world.And it is going to get worse before it gets better!
-
safer to stay at home and out of crowed places.
-
Not only movie theater, church, mall, shopping center, school, airport, you name it, no place is safe!
-
I think that would not be a bad idea. It's kind of scary now to go outside.
-
what we need a gun law better checking on people better enough of this madness
-
Yes, I am, and they should put more metal detector.
-

I do not believe that all these people who do this stuff are mentally ill. It is just a cop out. An excuse used. People know they can do whatever they want and then cry they were temporarily insane or claim to be mental and get out of it. And a background check does not have anything to do with medical. All a background check does is check for arrests.
-
I never went to the theaters much ~ never could justify spending that much money to see it once when I can wait a few months and own it on DVD. However, I am not scared to go to the movies or church for that matter. You are just as vulnerable any where you are if there is someone out there that is intent on causing harm to others. In the event I do encounter "difficulties", I am licensed to carry a concealed weapon and I do carry a pistol with me in my purse wherever I go.
-

Most people are not going to go to a theater if they have to be searched before they can enter. I am not doing anything wrong but I will not be submitted to a search of my person nor my purse before going to see a movie.
-
At some point I fully expect to see enhanced security at all public places. It will take time and a LOT of money to get done. And of course this will raise the costs of things like going to the movies. It's sad that the world has become like this.
-

please dont tell me you actually believe that story??
-
I think it's sad that people can't go out and enjoy their nights because of disturbed people that can get guns. It'll come down to every place having a metal detector, movies, malls, supermarkets. It's ridiculous. A lot of other countries don't have these kinds of issues and I think we need to look into that

It's not going to get better until God sets up His Kingdom on Earth. The world as it is now won't get any better.

Gun laws have nothing to do with it. The criminals are not known for obeying the laws anyway. And people know when they do something like this they will receive a slap on the wrist at the most and that's it. If they were immediately taken out side and killed like in the old west this wouldn't keep happening.
-
i dont get nervous going to movie theaters b/c the ones i usually go to are located in a safe area
-
Security should be a must now days almost every where you go. I do not let the shootings scare me into not going out because you cant live your life being afraid like that.
-

lol The ones where someone went in and shot up the place were not in "unsafe" areas. The other random mass shootings were not in "unsafe" areas. Wasn't there even a police station that some physco went into and shot a bunch of people? Surely a police station full of cops with guns should be safe.
Fact is we live in an evil world full oh physcos on drugs and no place is any more safe than any other. Look at the churches that have been shot up. Surely you should be safe in a church. No one would ever dream of someone killing them at church. But yet it happens. In good neighborhoods. In safe neighborhoods.
-
The problem I have, is where do you stop? You could really put security everywhere to keep the "crazies" out. Unfortunately they are out there everywhere and never know when or WHERE they will strike next!
-
I'm not really nervous but I have to admit it can be really scary.
-

There is no way to keep the crazy people out. Unless you strip search and do a body cavity search on every person that enters every building you cannot be sure they do not have something that they can use to hurt someone with. And the thing is most people want others searched but don't want to be searched themselves.
I went to a ball game right after the 9-11 attacks and there cops at the entrance and they actually searched every person that entered the building. If you had a purse or bag of any sort he also physically searched that. Yeah it took a long time to get in and I am sure there were a lot of people mad but at least there were no guns or bombs in the building. But in all seriousness you cannot do that everywhere there are a lot of people. And it could happen in Walmart just as easily.
-
I am concern about being in crowds anywhere, with so much happening these days while it has not stopped me, I just try and be more alert, I would not be surprise if metal detectors are not in movie theatres soon, I would not have a problem with that at all.
-
They had ushers walking around in the theater once or twice during the movie when I was there last week. I agree, it's pretty distracting. It's not like an usher can do all that much either. From what I know, he wasn't armed,so I don't know what he could do if there was anything suspicious.
-
First military recruiting stations. Now movie theaters. Where does the insanity end? Soon malls and grocery stores will be on the hit list (I actually hope not!) In any event, since the Aurora, Colorado incident, I have been exceedingly wary about visiting movie theaters. With this recent event, I essentially steer clear of theaters altogether. And it is sad. :-(
-
I haven't gone to a movie theater in years. I don't like that they are unsanitary and ewww. I hate the fact that as I walk or sit, my foot is sticking to the floor. I just don't trust them.

There was a mass shooting at a couple of malls already. People are just flat out crazy. And no it is not "mental illness". It is not an illness. It is not a disease. People are just evil. This is what you get when you raise a generation of people who are never told no, never punished for wrong doing as a child, and let run wild and to do whatever you wanted and handed everything you ever wanted.
-
It's a shame that we in this country have to worry about such things! I personally don't go to movie theaters but still, I remember as a child going to a movie theater on a Sat. morning to watch all the cartoons and we never had to worry about security! What this world is coming to is just not good! :(

I agree Countrygirl.Man has dominated himself to his own injury.Gods kingdom is only salvation for an obedient human society!
-
Yes, they need security everywhere.....people are sooo crazy...... :P
-
Not really... Just being outside has the risk of encountering a psychopath...Overall I doubt movie theaters or any public places would up security (unless something big happened to there)
-
They should really up the security for all theaters so many dam shootings.
-
security sounds like a good idea except for one thing. they dont carry firearms. i think a police officer would be a better idea. i know its not the kind of things you should think about when going to a movie but it is just crazy these days.
-
Our family went to a movie a couple weeks ago. A cop just stood where the movie employee tears the tickets. They did not check anything at all. Anyone could have brought something in. I believe there should be a scanner to walk through.
-
I don't know why movie theaters are being targeted. There was another shooting today. How do they get in with weapons?
-
It is really getting bizarre, makes you wonder what is going on.
-
i think its crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!! :bad:
-

You can't have security every where. And even places with security, like the schools, still have shootings. They can't be everywhere at the same time. And if you have to pay a security guard to be in every building every where the price of things will be so high you can't afford anything. What we need to do is start punishing people for their crimes. And when you shoot a bunch of people instead of making the person famous their name need never be mentioned. Their face never shown on television. They go out in a blaze of glory and that is what they are wanting.
