Police in Paris have detained a man who stood up and started shouting “Allahu akbar!” during a screening of the film "Joker," sending moviegoers into a panic, witnesses say.

The 34-year-old individual, who has not yet been identified, is now being observed in the psychiatric ward of police headquarters following the incident Sunday night at the massive Grand Rex theater, according to Le Parisien.


quote:

The witness said the man then stood up, put his hands on his chest and started yelling “Allahu akbar!” - which is "God is great" in Arabic.

“People panicked, ran to the exits,” he added. “Some were crying. A mother was looking for her daughter.”

Another witness told Le Parisien that the chaos had moviegoers climbing over their seats and there were “women on the floor and others who were stepping over them.”


quote:

The suspect fled the theater but later was tracked down by police after leaving his phone and jacket at the scene.

The theater operator told Le Parisien that some people stayed to continue watching the film.

Maybe he was just asking for directions to the snack bar?

OH For fricks sake. His name is Muhammad al-Dirka, and he is a terrorist sympathizer (at best), not mentally ill.

I mean, he could be a full blown schizophrenic. We don't know.

Urinating in public gets you a fine, not an arrest.

Can’t shout “open fire!” in a movie theater?

He could be. He could be a 12 year old, blond haired, blue eyed, Catholic school girl playing dress up for Halloween.

Which scenario is the most likely?

French police aren't leftist libtards. They are no-bullshite about terrorism these days after all of the attacks. If they put him in a mental health facility, I'm guessing the guy is fricked in the head.

I feel like there’s a decent chance he is actually a crazy dude rather than an Islamic extremist in this case. Feel like a real extremist/terrorist would’ve actually started killing people rather than just yell and run.

If he wasn't going in he will be coming out.

Have you noticed what's coming out of "mental healthcare practices" these days?

Stuff like drag queen library times for kids, surgical genital mutilation is praised, pregnant and menstruating "men", women's sports records shattered by guys on hormones. But hey, it's all normal!

This is in France.

And he's in a police mental health facility. Honestly, the French might be torturing this guy. They do NOT frick around with terrorism.
