Yes, she eventually left, but by all indications she didn't leave until about 20 minutes later, after a prolonged, disruptive scene.
All indications show that? How about you show me a single indication that it was 20 minutes. Just one will do since there are none to be found in the story. And she was also not disruptive when handing out the forms. She was quietly handing them out without disturbing anyone. Nobody but the manager had a problem with it and it was the manager who started the whole disruption by telling her to stop. If he had just allowed her to finish and leave as she was doing, there wouldn't have been a disruption.

This woman is no victim, she's bitchy and self-important, and had no respect for the theater's property rights. She was then belligerent with the police officers, who were lawfully acting on behalf of the theater to remove her from the property.
This woman is absolutely a victim and the theater manager does not have any property rights, but if he did have property rights, they would not include telling anyone what they could or couldn't say and as was proven in someone else's post, they coudn't even prevent the handing out of political flyers if PA state law allowed it. All they can do is ask the woman to leave. Whether or not she was asked to leave, she did leave and that is the point. She left. And she was arrested for exercising her rights. Property rights don't mean you have the right to silence those on your property.

And of course she questioned the officer's right to stop her. She was exercising her rights, and wasn't creating a disturbance and now she had two cops in her face while she was peacefully on the way back to her car.
