    Arizona movie theater calls police on black man after he refills his soda

    An Arizona man was approached by a guard in a movie theater and asked to show his ticket, reports Arizona Central.

    When he failed to produce a ticket police were called — he videotaped the incident, which occurred right after he got up to use the restroom and re-fill his beverage

    Larry Shelton claims he was asked to leave the theater after being accused of not paying for a ticket, according to a viral video he posted to Facebook. Shelton believes he was racially profiled.

    In a second video, two police officers can be seen inside of the theater before he left. He was confronted by the manager in the hallway, and another officer made his way to the scene.

    Shelton says AMC sent him an email offering him vouchers for a free movie, soda and popcorn. He says he found their outreach insulting and said staff should get diversity training.

    The AMC Ahwatukee theater issued a statement to Yahoo Lifestyle.

    “Based on our initial investigation, including interviews with the theatre staff and our outreach to the guest, this situation could have been handled differently to minimize frustration, and we’ve offered our sincere apologies to Mr. Shelton,” the statement said.

  2. Interestingly, in none of the posted articles about knockout games, etc did the article mention the race of the attackers and victims. It was only relevant in the OP, because the victims were black and the alleged assailants were white.

  3. So did he have a ticket or not?

    If I get asked for my ticket stub at a movie or event should I start videotaping and immediately scream racism?
    Just trying to get the rules straight.
    Thanks

    Race was their motivation, so the races of the assailants and the victims matter in the OP.

    In the knockout games, race wasn’t a motivator - random violence was so the races of the assailants and the victims is not relevant.

    you're wrecking their "woe my white skin" narrative.

  6. Nice try, but the “knockout game” is also called “Polar Bear Hunting” for a reason.

  7. The articles I posted had white, black and muslim victims as well as white and black people arrested for doing it...The application of regular criminal charges and hate crime criminal charges is not always consistent though...

  8. Of course it is. Whites normally get charged with hate crimes and blacks never do.
