Snakes in a Theater?
man i would have hatted to be in this theater while watching "Snakes on a Plane"
From:local6.com
Two live diamondback rattlesnakes were released in an Arizona movie theater during a showing of the new film "Snakes on a Plane," according to Local 6 News.
Authorities said pranksters released the young venomous rattlesnakes in a dark theater at the AMC Desert Ridge near Tatum and Loop 101 in Phoenix.
The two snakes caused a panic in the dark theater, according to the report.
"That to me is very scary," herpetological association representative Tom Whiting said. "I would hate to be watching a movie about snakes and have a rattlesnake bite me."
Wranglers were called to collect the snakes, the report said.
No one was injured in the incident and, so far, the culprits have not been caught.
Officials believe the snakes were smuggled into the theater in backpacks.
"This thing is under someone's chair and they go to sit and they just push your foot in the air and startle it -- obviously all they got to do is startle this thing," Phoenix Herpetological Society spokesman Daniel Marchand said. "It's dark. They can't see you, you know that well. If it's scared, boom it strikes."
The snakes were released into the desert.

its one thing to realease a bunch or harmless corn snakes (that would be funny) but the phuckers to release diamond backs is a whole different subject. Some people are just sick. They deserve to get the ever living crap kicked out of them. I hope they get busted.

I can handle seeing blood, someone shot, or hit by a car....but the minute a snake is by im on top of the kitchen table before the women in the house 
I'd crap myself all the way out of the theater...they deserve jail time.

Snakes for the most part will not really attack for no reason. A diamond back will spit at you before it comes after you. I have had a number of snakes as pets sense I was a kid. When I was 12 I had a Colombian Redtail Boa that was right at 10 foot long and weighed over 200lbs. Gentle giant, would lay it's head on your lap like a dog and it's head was as big as a full grown chow's head. We would feed it rabits and before the rabit hit the floor of the cage the snake would have it wrapped up. Strong *** ****, I am talking the rabits eyes popping out and stuff, one time it wrapped one up so fast and tight is shot the rabit's brains out it's nose.
That does suck those guys did that though.
