It amazes me that "Satan" was kicked out, but the the other patrons, that attacked him, were apparently allowed to stay and watch the movie. So, I guess dressing in a costume is not protected under free speech, but throwing things at someone is . So much for love thy brother.
Well let's see here....I guess it's kind of like smoking isn't it? Smokers complain about not having the RIGHT to smoke in various places, but they are ACTIVELY infringing upon our (nonsmokers) RIGHT to breathe clean air when they do it in public. This whole "Satan" situation seems pretty much the same if you ask me and really has nothing to do with "free speech". The idiot clearly stated he always liked to "push the limits" which implies to me that his only intention in attending the movie dressed like that was to incite a riot among the movie goers. He was ACTIVELY infringing upon others' rights to enjoy the movie in peace. I do agree, however, that true Christians would have looked upon this guy not with anger, but with pity and invited him to attend the coming Sunday's church service. Remember folks, just because you have the right to do something, doesn't mean it's right to do it.

...quitting drinking is kinda like washing your hands after you take a crap...why start now?
I agree Sik, just because you can do something does not mean it's a good idea to follow through with it. But, which side at the movie theater broke the law, and who was punished? Just because what "Satan" did was not real smart, does that give others the right to violate the law and his rights? It is kind of like, well everyone speeds, so it's ok if I do.
Yeah, that's kind of what I was getting at when I said they shouldn't have been angry at him. It was early when I typed it, so I wasn't doing a good job of following through with my thoughts.

I think I'm going to dress up as the devil and have my girlfriend dress like a whore, then we are going to go watch that movie tonight in the same theatre.
