" All this guy was thinking about was himself, he did not care for his employees. Movie prices are already high as it is and now with O'Kelly stealing money from Century Theaters the customers are probably looking at paying even more money to off set the money that was stolen from the company. I hope O'kelly does his time and learns never to do this again.

" However unfortunate the circumstances were for Mr. O'kelley to resort to stealing, I find it more unfortunate that we as tax payers will have to pay for his living expenses for the 3 years he spends in prison. Its an awful feeling of betrayal, violation, ignorance and resentment, when someone you have employed in your business steals from it as well. "
