Doesn't this all sound great? Each one of us needs to determine if these statements are mostly true in our own individual countries, states, cities, neighbourhoods, streets. You may be living in a state of Mob Rule or Ochlocracy.
just passed thru chicago and read the news paper about this issue. the director is on the girls side he said the charge should be dropped but since he doesnt own the film he cant do anything. the only part of the film that was recorded was some of the comecials and previews.
