Yes I despise going to the movie theater and it's things like this that are why. It's too bad as Destinta has the best theaters in the county. I won't go near the others, I like heat, chairs with cushions, and my car to be one piece when I get out. A trek to the other theaters is still at least 7 miles and Destinta is 28 miles.
New Windsor Supervisor George Meyers says the same kids who have been throwing bottles at cars and buses in Newburgh are getting out of hand at the Destinta Theaters on Route 94 in New Windsor.... About a dozen cops are deployed in the movie theater on weekends to keep the peace. Even with the cops, the kids are causing, "large-scale riots" and steering business away from the theater, he said.-- Times-Herald Record, February 11, 2003
The Supervisor then goes on to say some of these kids are as young as 7 years old!
I can't completely blame the movie theater but they compound the problem by not having adequate security or ushers (dare I say they need bouncers?) in the theater itself.
For security reasons I have stopped going to the theater entirely unless it's a special trip to NYC or elsewhere. I'll wait for the DVD from now on. :frowning:
