Man in Joker Costume Arrested At Theater
He wasn’t arrested for wearing the costume. Police just came to check him out. I hope they charge him with criminal stupidity (check out the last line of this story.)
UPI - A man dressed as the Batman villain The Joker was arrested at a Florida movie theater, officials said.
Christoper Sides, 21, of Cocoa, was arrested Wednesday at the Premiere Theater in Melbourne, WFTV, Orlando, reported.
Other movie theater patrons called police and reported a man dressed as The Joker pacing outside the theater before entering the building.
When police arrived, they found Sides sporting pink hair and black and white face makeup. Police said Sides made no threats and did not have any weapons on him.
However, Sides was taken into custody after police learned he had a warrant out for his arrest for failure to appear on a previous misdemeanor charge.
He was arrested without incident, police said.
Sides told police didn’t know about the killing of 12 people allegedly by James Holmes at a movie theater in Aurora, Colo., during a screening of “The Dark Knight Rises” in July.

Maybe I’m a hopeless comic book geek, but I think it’s a crying shame that we can no longer go to the theater dressed in character.
I took my then 13 year old son to one of the video game based Mortal Kombat movies and we were dressed as Scorpion and Sub Zero.
Granted, I knew at the time that we were thought weird… but now?

Fish I think it’s a shame that these people keep saying they’re dressed like the joker. Since when does the joker have red hair?!

Let time pass before you start dressing up like a homicidal killer, real or imagined.
In reality though, he would not have been arrested unless he had a warrant….
