Straight Outta Compton had an amazing opening weekend grossing over 56 million. The biopic about Compton's super group, N.W.A, has sparked a lot controversy and debate. NWA was best known for their vulgar lyrics and police rebellion. CNN is surprised there has not been any violence during the movie screening. I find their response to the film comical... the past three movie theatre shootings have no association with what is perceived as the hip hop community. In 2012 a mass shooting occurred in Aurora, Colorado which left 12 people dead and 70 others injured. The perpetrator James Eager Holmes plead insanity but was sentenced to life in prison. July 23, 2015, John Russell Houser shot 11 people at Grand 16 movie theatre in Lafeyette,Louisiana. Two women were killed and 9 were injured before he took his own life. August 5, 2015 Vincent Montano most recently chased moviegoers with a hatchet and pepper spray at a Nashville theatre. Montano was surprisingly killed by the police. CNN once again encourages subliminal racism. Other forms of art are respected and considered simply entertainment. Straight Outta Compton showed very little violence but simply highlighted the war that is still relevant today, police brutality. Follow me on Twitter @pattygotcake
