"We received a series of 911 calls stating that a man dressed in all black and body armor and a rifle was walking into Capital 8 Theaters," Capt. Doug Shoemaker told KMIZ."

Nope!

The story has been grossly misreported. The theater had actors to play Iron Man, Captain Fury, SHEILD, etc. It might not have been the smartest thing but it wasn't like they had some guy in body armor storm into the theater by himself like every news report makes it sound.

Facebook page has pictures of the event:

As for the stupidity part, I find it a little ironic now.

Given what happened in a certain movie theater in Aurora, CO, that was not an over-reaction. The idiots were the people who thought that pulling this kind of a stunt would be a good idea.

I never knew SEALs were in the entertainment business.

Default Will America's Stupidity Ever End???

Never.

There will always be stupid people in America. And the dumbest among us will blame their stupidity on the schools.
