This was a deranged person that decided to attack a movie theater.

Why are you preying on people's fears at a time like this?

The poll was posted by a person who consistently listens to and sees all sides of a story, even if he disagrees.

The thought of staying out of theaters was immediately on many people's minds, I saw online yesterday, and maybe for good reason. A mall food court is wide open into the mall and its many exit doors with wide hallways leading to them, and the food court has wide open paths to its exit doors to get out of the building there.

In a movie theater, you have narrow, one/two-person aisles to only a few exit doors, which translates to stampede conditions in an event like this.
