"The 8:15 showing was sold out and they were standing in line for the next 
showing. My wife and I greatly enjoyed your film with a full audience. 
There was joy and laughter throughout the film which lead to a standing 
ovation at the end of the film. When we left the theater, we saw several 
members of various progressive groups handing out flyers. However, the off 
duty police officer (the Florida State Highway Patrol) told them that they 
were not allowed to hand out flyers in front of the theater and they had to 
go across the driveway to the plaza parking lot (which they did). When 
someone asked the officer for her name and badge number, she said her name 
was Florida State Highway Patrol and walked away. Then as a group of us 
were talking in the plaza parking lot, the other off duty police officers 
(Pinellas County Sheriff) came over and said that we needed to leave. They 
said that the management has asked them to instruct us to leave. What 
management? The theater appreciated our business and showed the movie so we 
would be there. Someone asked for their names and badge numbers and they 
said they would provide that information (which they never did). One of the 
group had a camera and pulled it out to take a picture of the police 
officers, but naturally, they had a call across the parking lot and batted 
away in their cars. I guess this is part of the patriot act that Congress 
didn't read."--D.C.
