And that is all he would've needed to do. You can't get in from the outside otherwise.

There was also an armed policeman providing security in the lobby.

Hate to say it...but he is a stereotypical African American liberal- just like a Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, etc. Wanting something for nothing, making the big olde bad corporations pay, and having not a clue regarding the 2nd amend. Loser. Gives honest Black Americans a bad name.

Agree w/ "loser" and I'd add "parasite" but what the heck does his physical appearance have to do with anything?

Now, if the theater wanted to, it could keep the kid from prevailing on any claim. Unless fire or osha required the door to be alarmed (doubt it), you really cant claim negligence. It's a pretty far stretch to try to say emergency exits have to be guarded. There is also the theory of culpable negligence. The theator could say - when you saw someone prop the door open, you should have reported it. Court rules and says, theater only culpable for 5%-15% of damages or what have you. Fact of the matter is though, they will settle just to brush it away despite the fact they could relatively easily prevail on all claims.

Would be great to see them held liable for creating a "gun free zone", but doubt we'll see the day.
