No. I was as blunt as I was because I am seeing the kind of shit that King posted across the web - comments that directly or indirectly blame the parents that brought their kids to the film for their death.
These are pretty much the most hurtful, offensive, uninformed, and frankly STUPID kind of remarks one could ever conceivably make following something like this. I mean FOR FUCK'S SAKE don't you think that these parents are already anguishing in ways that few people will ever have to know without spreading this hateful rhetoric that questions their parenting choices?
A sleeping three month old or a well-adjusted and well-rested six year old absolutely have every right to be at the film with mom and dad if mom and dad think it is ok
for their own kids. Anyone who thinks otherwise should just shut the fuck up unless they know the parents and their kids personally. Even then - given what happened - why would you want to jump to the worst possible explanation (blaming the parents for murder) as one of the causes of the tragedy? Do people really need to be arrogant assholes in order to grant themselves some kind of parenting moral superiority?
I had to google for the plot of that movie.
