I haven't seen the movie and probably won't.
I would find it hilarious for a stoning to be happening on the screen while a stoning was going on in the theatre.
The Bible is clear on this. It says, 'Let him who is without sin cast the first Ju-Ju bean".
I am appalled that a Gummy Bear was used in the commision of a crime.
I believe the Devil was in the theater but, he was not wearing a red costume.
But, the hardest thing for me to comprehend about the whole incident is, why does a 75yr old woman buy a half gallon of Coke?

Ok, try these and see what you think:
Group of atheists show up for a film about evolution and a man shows up dressed as Jesus…
Group of Muslims show up for a film about what ever and a man shows up dressed like a terrorist…
Group of goat herder’s show to a film about proper grazing of land and a man shows up dressed like a sheep…
Oh, oh here’s one, a group of Meguiars users show up to a film about #9 and #29 and a man shows up with a suitcase of Zaino,,,
There is an appropriate time and place for everything, this particular moron did not do it for any kind of principle but merely to mock a crowd of people. I am sorry, but this is tasteless and he got what he deserved.
It has NOTHING to do with tolerance…

Further, what the hell is #29? You mean #26?
That's like me walking in and talking about Z-69... oh, wait a minute, you think Z is better than sex. Nevermind. Bad comparison.

"Hey Tim, how's it going?"
"Same, same.How about you?"
"Just taking in a show. How's Mrs McVeigh doing?"
"She just started second shift at the Piggly-Wiggly,"
"I'll be glad when we can both retire."
" Anyway enjoy the movie."
"Aren't you staying?"
"No, I just came here dressed as a terrorist to offend."
"Like a terrorist? You're dressed like all the rest of us."
"My Point, exactly."

I was trying to avoid that.
I belong to Goat Herders Local 638 and if a guy showed up wearing a sheeps costume, we'd kick his ***.
But that doesn't mean I don't expect others to be tolerant.

I don't normally get in the middle of these types of discussions, but I had to post my view on this one.
I am assuming, from what I read in the article, that the devil dude did not yell, cuss, or other wise heckle the crowd. He just basically showed up (in costume) to watch a movie and see what reaction he could get. I agree that was wierd, but not illegal or anything.
Going on the above assumption, lets turn this around backwards...
A theater full of people going to see a horror movie. Some guy shows up in a Jesus costume and acts basically the same way the "devil dude" did above. Would he be treated the same way? I think not. Probably the general consensus would be: "look at that crazy guy. Phffft. Lets go watch the movie." I doubt there would be throwing of JuJu beans.
Just my .02
