BTW, not that this justifies the shooting, but something tells me the deceaced was a royal prick. I’ve come across that sort of person more than once. It’s slightly skewing my attitude about this thing.
I know that if even a total jerk asked me to stop texting in a theater I’d stop doing it. I might grumble to myself but the Bible pretty clearly teaches me how to deal with such situations.
You realize he and his wife were on a date. Their two year old was with the babysitter. The movie hadn't started yet and he was texting with the babysitter. I'm not sure anything has been reported that suggests "the deceaced was a royal prick."
My opinion? Your assumption is not based on a reasonable review of the reports.
Indications are that the shooter was a royal prick as well. He seems to have had a thing about hassling people at the movies. This apparently wasn't the first time he tried throwing his weight around.
