This lovely couple decided to take matters into their own hands and threaten them with weapons.

I'm not sure if they were charged with anything. But we know they weren't shot dead by police.

I actually listened to the soundtrack before seeing the movie itself, and I think it only added to the experience.

One could make the argument Quentin Tarantino completes the soundtrack first, then plays it while filming to set the scenes.

They probably only paid for him to go to the gun class and he forgot to tell her that part.

notwithstanding that it shows a couple of privileged assholes brandishing weapons at protestors who aren't threatening them but are just walking by.

It's pathetic because the woman (to spare all those Karens I'll call her Becky) is holding her tiny handgun as if it's something she found in her handbag but she has no idea what to do with it - and her husband, whom I'll call Chad, or maybe Trent, is completely ridiculous - here's a paunchy middle-aged white guy, barefoot, wearing a pink polo shirt and chinos and holding a semiautomatic weapon in a way that suggests he's never fired anything more lethal than a Super Soaker.

and under some circumstances; depends on whether they are charged and what the results are (a lawyer has to do something pretty terrible involving clients or courts, like stealing money from clients, to get disbarred). Possibly they could be sanctioned. The more likely outcome is that they lose business, though this could be made up for by business from the MAGAt contingent.

I'm thinking being armed lunatics on TV is bad for the law practice.
But, that's just me.

The first time I saw Pulp Fiction, I already had two dogs, Scooter & Moe, who I called by their nicknames. Moe was Punkin'. Scooter was Honeybunny.
