PANIC BREAKS OUT After Muslim Shouts “Allahu Akbar” at Paris ‘Joker’ Screening in Mass Robbery Attempt

15

The man who disrupted an October 27 screening of “Joker” in Paris is being investigated for advocating terrorism, Variety reports. A spokesperson for the Paris prosecutor’s office told Variety the man stood up during the “Joker” movie screening and shouted “God is greater” in Arabic. Prior to shouting, the man was heard saying out loud “C’est politique (It’s political)” at multiple times during the movie. The man caused a panic at the theater, with 30 moviegoers rushing to the exit. The man escaped after several moviegoers and security guards attempted to stop him, but he was later arrested near Paris’ Grand Rex.

What could be scarier- especially since warnings of violence surrounding this movie have been rampant. “People jumped over seats and women fell to the ground in the aisles.” Next the media accusing the people running for their lives as f “islamophobia.” Wait for it.

Man Shouts “Allahu Akbar” at Paris ‘Joker’ Screening in Possible Robbery Attempt

According to the director of the Grand Rex cinema, the suspects purposely disrupted the movie in order to sow panic and steal audience members’ personal items, including phones and bags.

According to a report published in Le Parisien on Monday, a screening of Joker on Sunday night at the Grand Rex cinema in Paris turned into panic when a man screamed, “Allahu akbar!” (“God is great” in Arabic), causing audience members to flee for the exits.

Viewers present at the 9:30 p.m. show described how, about midway through the movie, the suspect — later identified as a 34-year-old male residing in the Paris suburb of Boulogne-Billancourt — began saying, “it’s political” several times from his seat. When some viewers tried to shush him, the man stood up, put his hands on his chest and screamed, “Allahu akbar!” and then began mumbling in Arabic.

At that point several audience members dashed for the exits, with someone falsely claiming that the man had a gun. “It was total panic,” a viewer named Victor told Le Parisien. “People jumped over seats and women fell to the ground in the aisles.”

When the suspect tried to flee as well, several audience members and a security guard wrestled him to the ground, although the man managed to escape. He was picked up afterward near the theater by Paris police and taken into custody.

The director of the Grand Rex, however, told The Hollywood Reporter that the suspect, working with an accomplice, staged the incident on purpose in order to steal viewers’ personal items during the screening. “They were two thieves looking for a way to take people’s phones and bags. Apparently they had already used the same tactic once on a train,” he explained.

The Rex director went on to say that the theater, which normally holds 500, had roughly 200 people in it during the screening and roughly 25 audience members fled, with the rest staying until the end of the movie. Afterward, the theater was evacuated and Paris police sent in the bomb squad and dogs to search for weapons and explosives, none of which were found.

The historic Grand Rex, which opened in 1932, claims to have the largest movie cinema in Europe, with its biggest screen seating up to 2,300 people. The French premiere of Joker was held there Oct. 8.

The Grand Rex’s management says they are pressing charges against the suspect. Speaking of Joker, they told Le Parisien: “The movie attracts a specific kind of viewer, notably people who are against the system. There have been minor incidents in other theaters.”

Now in its third week of release in France, the Todd Phillips film has brought in more than 3.5 million viewers thus far and remains number one at the French box office.

Mohammad-ists often exhibit a number of behavioral disorders that are incompatible with Western values, and, as such, should not be granted residence in civilized nations.

All white men are racist, homophobic, islamophobic, misogynistic, antisemitic, marsupialophobic, phobia phobic and generally screwed etc. by birth. We can’t help it. It’s not our fault that free will was taken from us at conception.
Kinda cool really.
We really can’t be held responsible fo anything except tax evasion.

There is no such thing as Islamophobia.

It’s not islamophobia when they really do want to assault, rape or kill you. The threats posed by Islam and its adherents are quite real. Phobias are irrational.

Nothing irrational about fearing an ideology that seeks to destroy the civilization that your ancestors have been building for 3000 years.

Down under anyone who causes road accidents or stabs strangers with sharp knives while screaming out ALLAH akbarh is deemed mentally insane. Governments should realise when enough is enough and call it out for what it is MUSLIM TERRORIST TREASON AND ANTI SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR.

“Wrestled to the ground” but managed to escape. How did that happen? Was he King Kong or the Incredible Hulk?

NOW, I get it!! You’re supposed to stay calm as though someone had sneezed. “Allahu akbar!”, God bless you. Gesundheit.

And what reaction is appropriate for the poor beleaguered reader?

The movie attract certain kind of viewers? That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. I thought movies were supposed to attract everybody to make as much money as possible. Not just a few wako conspiracy theorists that exist in the world. As usual, they are making excuses for the muslim terrorist.
