Popcorn and Nachos with Bullets: Just another day in Scarborough
The soundproofing at Cineplex Odeon Theatre at Eglinton Town is fantastic.
I heard none of the 6 or so gunshots that happened less than a 100 feet away from the theatre I was sitting in.
There’s a good chance the gunman was in this picture I took at 6:24pm last night. The shooting happened around 7:30pm after someone called the police reporting they’d seen someone with a gun.
With that many people and a lot of frustration about sold out shows, it’s not that surprising someone would lose his mind enough to show his gun. But why go to a theatre with a gun? It reminds me of the joke told better by Chris Rock at 58 seconds (NSFW).
After theatre staff said that “due to certain circumstances, you cannot use the main exit”, everyone wondered what happened.
I asked another staff member and he said there was a “shooting”. I was a bit surprised they let us finish the movie when we were so close to the event. I guess the Police felt that there would be more of a threat from movie watchers who were stopped in the middle of the Blue Man Group documentary.
Regardless, we were all safe. We just needed to check our cars for stray bullet holes. Just another day in Scarborough.
