Not too surprising. I wonder if there weren't at least one or two 'instigators' in the audience, raising their hands to set off the larger reaction.

Yeah like that Jason wats his name movie and the older one with Arnie.

People would be into it. The public loves blood. How far we've come from the Romans tossing Christians into the mouthes of lions.

No, we can't do that now.  P.E.T.A. would get pissed off, and my god they're a bunch of whiny bastards.
