The only thing unusal about the situation in the slightlest detail is that the kid was indeed, disabled.
People however, enjoy bad news. When they can't find it, they create it. There is no evil here, no malice or villany. There is only pity and an overly emotional response to a purely common, justified, and simple situation.
Hey Hey,
Don't assume you know me... I've stood up for people without disabilities when people have tried to eject them from bars, restaurants, movies and other places (mini-putt comes to mind as well)... and I did it because I don't like to see people mistreated... handicapped or not... I'm just saying that special exceptions should be made for handicapped people... It seems that physically disabled people are given the world but if you're mentally disabled you become a second class citizen and it's not right.
Peace,

whoever sat near the mother never told her that her child was being too loud and
the movie management didnt even give her an opportunity to 'quiet' her child.
one complaint and he was ousted. i find that odd, whether the child was simply laughing or throwing a fit. article mentions that 15 minutes had barely elapsed.
being the mother of an autistic child, i think she knows how her child will act in public. if he was screaming and hollering, she wouldnt want to take him out because even she wouldnt be able to enjoy the film!
Looks like she'll be getting the new releases on bootleg now :)

It was so excessively annoying that the people around them began scolding them--but to no avail. An usher picked up on this and had them removed about half-way through the movie.
I seriously doubt the handicapped child was purposely laughing "too loud" at every little thing because he knew it would piss off everyone. He was laughing because he was experiencing a magnificent event. The child was honestly expressing his feelings, he was venting out his newfound euphoria through laughter, which was the intent of the movie. I saw the commercials for that movie!
Unless they have signs visible on "laughing rules"....you have a case.
EDIT:
They saw a child in a custom made wheelchair and figured he was retarded.

Sigh, I don't see what's so difficult to comprehend here. He was causing a disturbance that negetively impacted the rest of the patrons. After complaint(s) the manager took it apon himself to remove that disturbance for the benefit of all of his patrons. It doesn't matter if the child knew better or was capable of controlling himself. He was ruining the service that was paid for and was removed for that reason--simple, end-of-story, fine.
Sure, you can bleed you heart and believe the Intolerant, Discriminatory, Sinister Overlord of the Theatre took advantage of an opportunity to stomp on a hapless retard with little reason other than a general pessemistic & bleak outlook towards the human condition. So be it. If someone wants to conjure controversy out of the ordinary because of pity, fine.
While you may be "compationate" or a "social warrior", I hope you're never in a position where you are responsible for a society or population of more people than you can count on your fingers. I've had some pretty awful things directly said and lambastedly insinuated about my character for not crying blood over this child. However, the day I will rue is they day that someone blinded by their own sympathy governs the masses according to an exceedingly minute minority because they couldn't see past their own pity.
On a final note before I'm done with this thread, it was his 3rd movie....ever. An exceedingly rare occurance; even for the poorest in the US. Perhaps there was a reason for this? Maybe his behavior is a reoccuring problem? It's extremely likely given the nature of his disabilites. "Nah, I think I'll crucify a man doing his job like any other joe trying to get by out there--don't you see how cute and pitiful he is? There is no way anything on this earth that this kid could possibly negetively effect. Get the skewer, we're having middle class-man for dinner tonight."

Hey Hey,
You are the most pathetic individual to ever post on here... I can't wait to see you post outside of Cosmos... because it had better be damn good... I'll be watching..
This isn't a matter of being blinded by sympathy... it's common human decency.... I'm sorry if you don't understand the concept, but if you ever leave the computer in your basement you might understand it.
As for someone only seeing 3 movies ever... He's young... maybe his family isn't the movie going type.. It's not like he can go on his own... I saw very few movies in the theatre when I was younger... My parents figured we could rent them at home for cheaper and if we had a family outting it would be better spent with something that could be filled with interaction.. Not everyone is constantly at the movies... Some people have lives and don't require other people's fantasies to fulfill their lives.
Peace,
HT
