Police said they had arrested a 27-year-old man suspected of shooting a 42-year-old fellow audience member who later died of his wounds.
The conflict took place as the credits rolled during a screen of the Oscar-nominated film "Black Swan", according to police in the Baltic state.
Witnesses told the Latvian news agency Leta that it arose over how loudly the deceased man was eating his popcorn.
Gun-crime is relatively rare in Latvia, a European Union nation of 2.2 million.

Well, it is annoying to have to listen to popcorn chewing whilst trying to watch a movie. I've left a trail of bodies all over the world for that very same reason.

They grow the Latvian with big, brass ones.
He might be undercover LEO, tho. LEOs are quick on the trigger to kill the populace whether in Libya, Latvia or Louisianna. Here in the USA, they have union protection too.

This incident highlights the need for stricter international controls on popcorn.

Guy should have stuck with Milk Duds. Sure you could lose a filling but all things considered he’d be way better off!
To: Cincinatus' Wife
The most shocking thing about this story is that two guys would actually watch ‘Black Swan.’

I always said that classical ballet provokes violence and - look at those tutus - denigration of women. Stop the hate! Palin must be punished.

If I heard a deceased man eating popcorn loudly, I might wanna shoot at it, too. English is a difficult language.
I’m going to have to send this story to my son who has been known to shoot spitwads into the mouth of smackers in the lunchroom.

Sheesh, the last place in the world you’d expect to be shot dead would be at a movie about ballet.

I watched it. I am a guy. What are you saying? ;)

Speaking of gun violence. From the article:
Gun-crime is relatively rare in Latvia, a European Union nation of 2.2 million.
In the future, refuse to let anyone say gun violence is high here in the U.S.
According to recent data on gun crime statistics the United States is lower than Latvia.
