Many of you I'm sure remember the mass killing at the Aurora, Colorado theater now over four years ago.
Well, the survivors now owe the theater's parent company, Cinemark, $700,000.
They slapped Cinemark with a lawsuit, alleging that the company did not provide adequate security measures. Cinemark proved to the court's satisfaction that a guy dressed like a clown, bearing three guns and smoke bombs was simply unpredictable and that reasonable security precautions would not have prevented it.
The judge then ordered the survivors to drop the $700k to cover the defendant's legal fees.
Out of the frying pan into the fire as it were.
