Texas man killed in cinema parking lot after argument about movie

AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) - A man who argued with two other movie goers about the ending of a film was struck outside the cinema by a truck driven by his adversaries and killed, the Harris County Sheriff's Office said on Monday.

The men's discussion of the film grew more heated as the three left the theater and went to the parking lot after the late Sunday evening film. Two of the men then got into a pickup truck.

"The driver of the truck put the vehicle in reverse striking the victim and knocking him to the ground," it said. The truck then sped away.

The victim later died at a hospital, the sheriff for the Houston-area county said without identifying the man.

The office would not name the film but witnesses told KHOU-TV that it was "300: Rise of an Empire," a Greek-era action film steeped in battle scenes.

Come on

300?

This guy would still be alive if cars were illegal.

You had me at Texas. Did they secede yet?

They will as soon as someone explains what the word 'secede' means, to Rick Perry.

With all this shooting and internet piracy you d think the price of a damn ticket would stop rising

That's why it keeps rising. These places won't pay for themselves.

They were a country once so let them become one again. They are one of the takers states.

Eh, 25 million people and a trillion dollar GDP? I would sure like them to stay part of the Union.

They take more money from the federal government than they pay in taxes. That doesn't sound like a great deal to me. That state would be helpless outside of the union.

They were a country once so let them become one again. They are one of the takers states.

Looks like someone took their dumb dumb pills tonight!

I hope you ate first. You shouldn't take them on an empty stomach.

Ahahahaahaha.......oh brother!
