'Why didn't he just sit somewhere else?'
The Sheriff leading the investigation into the cinema shooting which happened after a row over texting has told MailOnline there is no chance of a Stand Your Ground defence, saying, ‘It was an empty movie theatre. If he was scared why didn’t he move seats?’.
Sheriff Chris Nocco has completely dismissed shooter Curtis Reeves’ claims that he gunned down Chad Oulson because he feared for his safety and said there is no way he can use Florida’s controversial self-defence law.
He is convinced the retired cop, 71, simply lost his temper after married father-of-one Oulson refused to stop texting and then threw a bag of popcorn at his killer’s face.
Reeves’ attorney Richard Escobar suggested on Wednesday that his client was not hit with popcorn and was actually attacked with another more dangerous object.
However Sheriff Nocco has completely dismissed that idea, saying nothing else was thrown and that Monday’s shooting is an open and shut case....
One of the key elements is that the theater was not packed so there was ample opportunity for anybody to move their seat if they wanted to....
Today Richard Escobar was quoted as saying something more than popcorn was thrown.
He told The Tampa Bay Times: ‘If it was popcorn, don't you think the detective would have written popcorn? It's an unknown object, dark in color. Those facts will come out.’
But Nocco hit back: ‘There is absolutely nothing to prove anything else was thrown.’....

He probably only carried when he thought he would encounter “texters”.
So he must have carried all the time -- even in bed.
Ok then, in the articles I read I never saw mention of a wife and was wondering WTH that was all about.
You need an ID to buy milk duds.
You don’t need an ID to vote.
Without an ID, you can vote multiple times, all fraudulently.
Democrats tend to be the party of voter fraud.
And Food Stamps.
Work with me here...
Milk Duds discriminates against fraudulent voters.
Milk Duds is a right wing conspiracy to end voter fraud and Food Stamp fraud.
Get Eric Holder on the line.

Yep — theatregoers used to throw them at the screen during corny scenes and they would stick — which made them the UFO of choice.
The theatre would have to scrape them off after the show — which was a pain.
Some theatres then decided not to sell them anymore.
But movie goers would then just stop by the store before the movie and smuggle them in — kind of conceal and carry.
Later they began to sell them again but raised the price considerably to discourage tossing them at anybody or anything.
When a milk dud costs you 50 cents you are more likely to eat it than throw it.
I'm quite sure he'll eventually go for insanity, but it won't help, even though the guy obviously had ... issues.
Amen!
If I have a firearm on my person, it makes be a heck of a lot more polite in general.
I might agree if the guy was NOT an ex-LEO.
It was Obama's birth certificate, all wadded up. Scared the cop into shooting.
LOL!!
Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. That “dark object” is real firepower.
The other lady whom he had harassed for texting the previous week said that when he was giving her grief, his wife was egging him on.
He went with his wife, and their son, also a cop, was on his way to meet them but was late. The shooter also was there with his wife the previous time that he harassed a woman for texting.
I had the same thought -- that when the judge denied bond, she breathed a huge sigh of relief.
He busy bullying nuns.
Whatever the price, throwing even one Milk Dud away seems a sacrilege.
