I both agree and disagree
I agree he should be punished. But that punishment should be banishment from the theater. Hell, even put his name on some private registry of theaters if they want.
However, the fact that tax dollars went into protecting the interests of a private corporation because they don’t want to flip the bill themselves disgusts me.
