On October 12, 2009, the AMC Muncie 12 became national headlines after a 21-year-old National Guard soldier from Farmland, Indiana, committed suicide in one of the auditoriums during a showing of “Zombieland”, with friends and siblings sitting around him. Police reported that he shot himself in the head at approximately 20 minutes into the movie after requested his friend who hand over a 9mm handgun, which for some weird reason snuck into the theater.

This was all in connection of an epidemic that underscores the psychological damage done to soldiers charged with carrying out the brutal colonial occupations in Iraq and Afghanistan. However, the man’s behavior before the film reveals that the war’s violence was on his mind. When asked by the theater manager for identification proving the group was of age to see the movie, the man reportedly snapped at him, saying that “he shot 18 people [during the war] and you want to see my identification?”
