Granted, perhaps that was an unfair assumption on my part. I came to that conclusion based on the fact that she was being argumentative, disruptive and refused to leave, all on Private Property, and then gives an account which is so obviously self-biased and full of half truths. I know people like that, and THEY are bitchy and self-important, so I projected those qualities onto her.

Not to mention that comments like "She continuously refused to leave the area and continued to cause a disturbance and left the troopers no choice but to arrest her," aren't usually made about people who are friendly, cooperative and polite. But I wasn't there, maybe the cops and theater manager were being assholes first. But the fact of the matter is that she was on private property, asked to leave, refused, and created a scene.

The Hiibel situation is different... the theater managers and police were not in the wrong when insisting that Lani Frank leave the property. By law, they could ask her to leave if they disagree with her actions, if they didn't like the blouse she was wearing, or the way she had her hair styled. Whereas the officer questioning Hiibel was trying to use authority which (at that time) he didn't legally possess.
