She did not see Curtis hit in the face with anything as he claimed.

She doesn’t know why her husband shot him.

Neither she nor Curtis mention popcorn being thrown and she confirms that Curtis had a bag of popcorn in his hand.

Yep - went to another site that has some written accounts:

Hamilton said that right after the shooting, he acted quickly to take the gun from Reeves -- who was sitting, as he'd been during the shooting -- and subdue him.

Before more authorities arrived, Reeves' wife told her husband "that was no cause to shoot anyone," according to Hamilton, the law enforcement officer who was then off-duty.

Reeves responded by pointing his finger at her and saying, according to Hamilton, "You shut your f**king mouth and don't say another word."

The off-duty corporal said that at one point, Reeves pushed back his glasses and said out loud, "Holy f**k, what have I done?"

Sounds like Reeves was aching to prove himself as more powerful than others and probably did his best work at home. His account that the other guy came over the seats at him doesn't seem to jibe with the victim's wife getting her hand in the path of the bullet.

Either way - he is criminally stupid. Carrying a weapon puts some responsibilities upon one - like not getting so passionately involved in such a petty situation and being the main ignition for it escalating into a killing. I willingly stay out of serious arguments when carrying (almost always) just because I don't want to be the one to incite a stupid incident that results in a lost life - dis me all you want; my skin is thick and I won't shoot you for it, especially before the actual movie starts....

Nicole Oulson said on the View yesterday that she did not see any popcorn thrown though two witnesses claim to have seen it.

Was that bag of popcorn they saw Curtis Reeves’??? Did he throw it just before pulling his weapon???

Both Reeves admit that Curtis had a bag of popcorn in his hand. Neither of them say anything about popcorn being thrown prior to the shooting.
