Three people were injured Friday night when panicked audience members "self-evacuated" during a performance of the musical "Hamilton" in San Francisco, police said.

A woman in the audience had a medical emergency during the scene in which the title character, Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, is shot on stage, said Joseph Tomlinson, public information officer for the San Francisco police.

Audience members mistakenly thought there was a real-life shooting and rushed the exits, he said.

    Scared stupid people build walls. Makes them feel better, even though the data shows walls aren't the best value for the money.

    At public gatherings, walls, gates, and other such restrictions on movement get people killed. Business owners have locked employees inside the workplace, thinking that would reduce various forms of theft and malingering. Instead, as was shown at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory, that practice condemned a lot of innocent workers to death when a fire broke out. Burglar bars have also caused deaths by preventing people from fleeing from a fire.

    Animals have lots of tricks of a similar sort that work against other animals, but which are completely useless against people with technology. A turtle's shell is a sort of personal wall, and is no defense whatsoever against a human with a few simple tools. A big rock is enough to beat a turtle shell. Another method is to cage the turtle and wait it out. Similarly, porcupine quills are no defense against humans with a few simple tools.

    Lazy, gluttonous people use wheels. Makes them feel better, even though the data shows they aren't the best value for the money.

    On public highways, wheels and other such accelerators of movements get people killed.

    This is hilarious to see people trying to say walls don't serve a purpose, you are being trapped in the most idiotic position by a moron like Trump. What is dumber than a moron?

        In California, idiots are one of six types of people who are not capable of committing any form of crime.

        It all makes sense that they rise to the top over there then.

    Watch the movie jungle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jungle_(2017_film) [wikipedia.org]

    Even though starving to death he still won't kill a turtle to eat it. I really think I would do the same, I do not want to see what is under that shell...

    Yes, maybe. I note that Hillary has a virtual fortress to protect her property. The image of Pelosi's property that circulates via email with HUGE walls is inaccurate, but she DOES have a wall. All of Hollyweird erects walls at their events, to keep the riff-raff out. Walls, walls, walls - everywhere you look, socialists have walls.
