About a month ago, we had a shooting in a movie theater during the latest showing of Black Christmas. The shooting was gang related. About two weeks later, Stomp the Yard is released. The general manager in this area decided to not show the movie for the first few days it was released. However, he WAS willing to show the "R" rated gang movie, Alpha Dog. He has since supported his decision to not show Stomp the Yard (even though he eventually did allow it to be shown. My question is this: was he justified in his decision? (saying that it is his theater chain and he can do whatever he wants to do is not a good answer)

It's his theater, he can show what he wants, whether you like it or not. The only decision he is obligated to make is the one that is mostly likely to increase his profits. If he felt showing Stomp the Yard would discourage theater attendance by making it an unsafe environment, he was absolutely justified in not showing it.
