The many problems at the Seneca theater reach far beyond the level and control of management. Yes, they are a chain, so complaining to the local manager will do nothing as her hands are tied. She cannot authorize fixing the popcorn popper, or hiring an actual projectionist to run the movies properly.
To the man who just got back from his tour, WELCOME HOME and thank you for your service to our country.
Now, about your daughters getting their speeding tickets, be thankful that they got a ticket and a few years of higher insurance rates rather than getting a call from the hospital that your child has been in a wreck (due to nothing more than GOING TOO FAST) and they need you to come right away. Everyone wants to gripe about getting a speeding ticket. I wish that was ALL my child would have gotten. Compassion only goes so far when you are breaking the law. Everyone wants to gripe and complain when they get a speeding ticket, but YOU are the one responsible for how you drive. Don't blame the cop who is only doing their job for a lot less than you probably make. Tell your kids that if they don't want a ticket, then slow down. Tell them that if they get a ticket, THEY will have to get a job to pay for their now sky high insurance rates. Yes, everyone makes a mistake once in a while, but when your mistake is BREAKING THE LAW, then you will have to pay the consequences. Call it a lesson in growing up. Be thankful you still have your daughters to see and hold every day instead of visiting them at the cemetary.
It was asked earlier how many black men were harassed or interrogated as a result of this. Ms. Holbrooks said it was a black male. That is the info the cops had to go on and they were doing their job, just like they should have. Just like they should have if were a person of any other race.
