I wish this would happen more often. I think a less well adjusted person would have shot the kid. Shooting the dad in the arm was actually a relatively mild and appropriate response. Mr. Cialella Jr. stood up for all of us who've been bullied by the almighty family with children in screening of movies that are perhaps not age-appropriate for the children in such families.

Yes, I'm unabashedly applauding this maniac's actions! I think that parents should be able to enforce basic manners upon their children. If they are uncooperative, then it's the parent's responsibility to remove said delinquent children from the cinema. Violence is wrong, and the man is paying the penalty for his crime of passion.

But I doubt that this isolated incident will be an effective, lasting deterrent to inconsiderate and selfish jerks everywhere. Anyhow, I'd like to invite him to my local theater and deliver me some bloody justice. I'll even pay for his movie ticket.
