It sounds like you haven’t seen the theater security video.

There are some that do not believe that self defense is justified. There are people that do not believe in the death penalty. There are a few individuals that don't feel that deadly force is ever justified.
I worked construction with paroled murderers when I was nineteen. The owner of the company would not hire thieves, but he had no problem with murderers. Two of those guys were talking on our lunch break. One asked the other why he killed the drunk in the bar. His answer was that the man needed killing.
I'm not saying the guy is right, he spent his time in prison for murder. But I've thought about this over the past fifty years and I believe that there are individuals that can only be killed for there barbaric acts.
Expecting someone to wait until they are murdered with one punch is idiotic.

What is lacking on this thread is the total actions of both the defendant and the deceased. It may have been a good shoot or a bad shoot. The jury had total knowledge of what happened. I trust their judgement. That is why we have juries.

About juries I would like to recant what happened in Jasper Texas. Three white men drug a black man to death behind a pickup truck. They were all ex convicts. I suspect this was a crime that actually started in jail.
A mostly white jury convicted them on fist degree murder. On appeal to George W Bush then the Governor of Texas he denied any clemency. They were executed as they should have been.

I’ve never understood people who think you have to be “almost dead” before you are in fear of your life being taken from you. At what point is it okay to stop your assailant? Are you supposed to ask them how far they plan to go before they stop? Are you supposed to be unconscious on the ground (that doesn’t make sense, because then you can’t fight back)? Fear is fear.
In this case, it appears the jury believed the older guy was in fear of being killed.
The jury spoke.

If that was you or me with a CCW permit, we wouldn’t get off. If Joe Citizen with CCW shot someone to death in a theater over a petty squabble over a cell phone, they'd be in the joint doing hard time. Bet the rent.

Another says the “instigator” was the man who politely asked another movie patron to put away their cell phone.
Social norms and civility are in deep trouble these days. Perhaps some of the problem is cell phone addiction, among other self-centered lack of basic manners.

This is a fair point.
If it was me I would have probably just left. Seems more reasonable then engaging in anything with a leftist.

Let this be a clear warning to anyone who texts or talks on the phone during a movie. You’d deserve this and MORE!
