(CNN) -- A man angry that a family was talking during a movie threw popcorn at the son and then shot the father in the arm, according to police in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

James Joseph Cialella, 29, was charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault and weapons violations, a police report said.

Cialella told the family sitting in front of him in the theater on Christmas Day to be quiet, police said.

An argument ensued while others at the Riverview Movie Theatre watched "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported.

Cialella then approached the family from the left side of the aisle and shot the father, who was not identified, as he was standing between Cialella and his family, according to the police report.

The victim was taken to Jefferson Hospital with a gunshot wound to his left arm, police said.

Cialella was carrying a Kel-Tec .380-caliber handgun clipped inside his sweatpants, police said. He was arrested and taken into custody.

unbelievable

There should be no weapons permits that allow you to wear sweatpants with a gun

Violence is never okay.


That having been said, admit it. We've all thought about doing that.

Hurray for really dumb people! Give them guns! Woohooo!

That's true. It's why I hardly go to movies anymore, because people don't know how to f-cking behave. And don't get me started on parents who bring babies and toddlers to the theatre.

Remember back in the day when there was always an usher or two in the theatre at all times to remove offenders

Can't approve of his choice of Oscar bait movies but as far as the shooting...

I don't approve of violence normally, but come on, 5 or 6 fatalities and maybe people would get the hint to shut the fuck up.

Nope. Not in America, where I have the right to do and say what I want when I want, the world be damned.

They paid for a ticket to enjoy their experience as they see fit.
Why are we hating on them?
They don't always have to watch movies at home . . .

I'm a "SHUT THE FUCK UP" kinda guy...

But, shooting is a bit extreme...

Please, don't add your own soundtrack.

Depends on how many bullets you can handle . . .

I gotta say that the only thing dumber than people who don't know not to talk in movies (and by the way, ya'll who do this is DUMB!) is getting so angry that you have to shoot someone who's doin' it. Friggin' just move to another seat!

i wonder how many people would assume this movie would be starring a hip-hop star of katt williams?

Conservative care and compassion at it's best

Yup

And people would cheer the usher for removing the rude mofos too

The election's over.

A gun, sweatpants? Not a good look.

No That is not a solution. IF I get there a half an hour before the movie to the seat of my choice, I am supposed to just accept an inferior seat somewhere which is no guarantee that I still won't hear the original offender or others.

Civility says that in sharing the experience we maintain as much silence as possible so as not to disrupt the experience of others. It only reduces to civility to accommodate such behavior, because then we model that manners and civility don't apply.
