F**cking stupid American laws

I’m talking about the case of Australian woman, Pauline Clayton, who was fined for assault following an incident in a cinema in Webster, Texas.   Her crime was to tap a woman on the shoulder and “shush” her, for answering her mobile phone and talking on it during the movie “Brokeback Mountain”.  This of course caused the woman on the phone to go nuts and start abusing Ms Clayton and then calling the police, accusing her of assault.

The police then arrested Ms Clayton and charged her with assault.  She was later fined $176.

The woman with the phone has been charged with disorderly conduct.   Personally I reckon those who talk on the phone during movies should face a firing squad.

  4. My father did this once and I was horrified. I pretended I wasn’t with him.

    Firing squad is letting them off lightly, effin’ well send them off to Abu Ghraib first.

  5. On the face of it, it is so wrong. It is a pity she accepted the penalty and did not fight it court. But it would not be the best way to spend the remainder of your holiday.
