Killing someone over thrown popcorn. Really?
Death penalty is too good for this turd.
As I understand it, the “ignored the signs” thing is simply a bon mot by a hoplophobic moron journalist ... but then I repeat myself twice ... who doesn’t know that retired cops pretty much get to carry anywhere they want under federal law.
Douchenozzle deserves death.
The only reason this hasn’t been made into a cause by the anti gun crowd is that the perp was a cop. If he wasn’t, you would be hearing about this nonstop as an example of what happens when concealed carry is legal.

Geez, they didn’t get much right. You have an old retired cop with a sterling service record who goes out to tell the theater manager about someone texting which is against the theater rules. The dude was texting the daycare center. When the old guy returns, he wasn’t able to talk to the manager, text dude starts a confrontation and then throws popcorn per witnesses at the retired cop.
1. Retired cop reacts based on years of training and experience to something being thrown at him by an 2. angry man who is younger and taller during a time when his 3. eyesight is hindered by going from a lighted area to a very dark area. Texter dude hit the death trifecta. BAM!
Is this an opinion piece or is it supposed be actual reporting?
Crap either way. The Stand Your Ground reference is totally irrelevant. Whole piece sounded petty lefty snarky to me.
Andrew Branca at Legal Insurrection took the SYG defense apart last week.
The Media was salivating at the thought of mis-characterizing the law again and calling for it’s repeal.

From a previous article this wasn’t the first time he got upset with someone in a movie theater and acted weird about it. I wonder if he’s in the early stages of Alzheimer’s? A typical symptom is irrational fits of anger.
U hate people who text at the movies and often feel like killing them myself.
I do control myself and don’t act on it.
Mr. Reeves helped start Tampa's tactical response team in the 1990s, so his attempts to portray himself as some kind of scaredy cat added an element of absurdity....
My Dear Author: That is exactly the kind of chicken sh!t who has to surround himself with "SWAT" frills. He IS a “scaredy cat”.
Hello! This animal gets upset that someone’s texting interferes with his viewing of previews and commercials, but then leaves his seat to go to the lobby to complain and willingly misses those precious previews and commercials?
