Shit this is really bad
ok for context about the story:
What happened was that last night in England, a group of teenagers (with the youngest being a 13 year old girl) armed with knives and machetes attacked a cinema called Vue during a showing of Frozen 2. No one was killed, but a lot of people where scared and a lot of people got injured too.
The police got called in, and then it escalated to the point where the police needed to bring in batons, tasers and attack dogs, and it eventually devolved into a massive brawl of about 100 people. The gang who started this attack have apparently all been arrested, and a few police officers are currently in hospital due to injuries.
Now the movie that got banned (Blue Story) is a rap drama made by a musician called Rapman, which is a movie about young gangs and gang wars in modern London. Because of this, people re saying that Blue Story was the main motivation for the attack, even though evidence is pointing to this not being the case.
Despite this, the cinema chains Vue and Showcase have cancelled all screenings of this movie due to this incident (TO show how big this is, Vue and Showcase are the 3rd and 2nd biggest theatre chains in the UK, respectively)
And now because of this ban, a lot of people are upset about this, including Rapman, the guy who made the movie.
He said that the movie doesn’t glamourize gang violence, and he said that while having something like this happening to the cinema is horrible, he says that the blame should be placed on the people who decided to start the attack in the first place, not the movie
