The US Army has reportedly warned servicemen about the possibility of mass shootings at screenings of the Warner Bros. film "Joker", after the FBI identified threats from "incel" extremists. 

 

Service members were cautioned to be vigilant about their surroundings and "identify two escape routes" in the event of a shooting, according to US media reports. 

 

The upcoming "Joker" film is a spin off from the Batman series which follows the origins of the villainous clown character who acts as Batman's sadistic nemesis.

 

The Army told the website Gizmodo that it was alerted to the threat by the FBI, but said it was unaware of any specific plots or suspects.

Plenty of them around these days, often to be found sitting outside a 7/11 nursing a bottle of beer.

So legal prostitution could reduce domestic terror attacks. There were a rash of these attacks targeting young women in the U.S. a few years back. Let's give these guys the option of getting laid without fear of jail time, unwanted publicity, loss of car, loss of job. And that would be just for trying to meet the average Western woman.

Christ that guy is a good actor.

Anybody seen Joaquin Phoenix in his last movie called "You were never really here".

Jesus is that a scary performance by an actor on top of his game.

Female Brit director, highly recommended.

"Christ". "Jesus". Is this a religious movie about a figure from history, or merely a lack of descriptive vocabulary?

And what rank are you in the Religious Grammar Gestapo?

Jeez, (sorry - geez), watch the movie or get a life.
