Cops Evacuate Fla. Movie Theater Over Reports Of Shotgun Being Smuggled In — Turns Out to Be a Sub Sandwich
The Epic movie theater multiplex in St. Augustine, FL was evacuated Thursday after two people called police and reported a man “stuffing something suspicious down the back of his pants” and that he could have a shotgun.
Approximately a dozen police cars responded to the scene. The theaters were emptied, the suspect located, but no gun (or any weapon) was found. Instead, the alleged smuggler admitted to sneaking a large sub sandwich into the theater.
Shortly after the incident, St. Augustine’s local TV channel, First Coast News was on the scene and filed this report.

Posted on December 28, 2012 at 1:53pm” It that a footlong ( Sub ) in your pants or are you just glad to see me ? ” Many don’t go to the movies because it would enrich some of those “activist” actors and the movies are crappy. Some of today’s so-called Stars have put out an Anti-Gun Propaganda piece that many of you may not believe.

Posted on December 28, 2012 at 1:44pmWe the people, now, we the sheeple. The lack of situational awareness in public is astounding; replaced by fear. If people don’t want to have guns in theaters, they should have a TAC light, and mace at a minimum.

It’s a hundred mile round trip (overnight until Spring) and $50 ferry tariff – if I should forget myself and be tempted.

Posted on December 28, 2012 at 1:07pmAvoid Hollyweird altogether. Boycott. Why give your hard earned $$ to the commies who in turn give it to Liberal/lefty/Democratic causes/campaigns. All you are doing when you pay to see their movies is help to fund the demise of our once great nation. Unless of course you do your homework and find out who the few conservatives in Hollywood are, and only support those actors.

Posted on December 28, 2012 at 2:04pm@ JACKACT : ” If you see something, say something ” has gone too far here. If you don’t know the difference between a shotgun and a sandwich, don’t leave the house. I just know I’m getting my tax dollars worth to operate the Government schools where critical thinking is non-existant.
@ FIDGETFORFREEDOM: THANK YOU – Your ticket Money is funding these Dem-Lib-Prog-Soc-Comms who think that Americans care about these ” actors’ ” political positions. WE DON’T !

Posted on December 28, 2012 at 12:54pmfor the Israelis, it was terrorism that threatened to be their undoing, making them jump at every shadow, fear disrupting their daily lives… it’s the goal of terrorists, to impact a society’s behavior or opinion through fear.
sadly, the class warfare rhetoric and emotion driven pontification by OUR OWN GOVERNMENT are pushing us into that glaring reality test, but unlike the Israelis, we are failing…

Posted on December 28, 2012 at 12:45pmMake the people afraid of their own shadow. Of course, the progressives will say it is a sign of the times and that people are showing an abundance of caution. But, we all learned how to look both ways before we crossed the street. People need to learn critical thinking skills, or they will always be slaves to their fears.
