But I predicted your weak response, before you even made it, because I can tell just what sort of person you are.
Thanks for proving me right
It wasn’t murder for a text as I see it.
It was murder for being a rude, self absorbed bastard.
He probably didn’t deserve to be killed, but he insisted on (essentially) running out into the freeway during rush hour. He was so self absorded that didn’t stop to realize that there were actually going to be drivers who would not swerve to avoid him.
Hard to me to feel sorry for him.Society is a tiny bit better off today.
Well golly you are just soooo smart. The world bows to your magnificence.
amazing how you’ll excuse the actions of the murderer just because he’s an ex cop.
You may have me confused with someone else.
I keep a computer file named 'Bad Cops' which contains stories gleaned from FR detailing the actions of an increasing number of out of control cops.
I'm glad the bastard is dead, even though he may not have deserved it. I'm also pleased some out of control cop is in jail for the crime. I'd like to be on the jury, as I'd push for a low voltage death sentence.
It is assumed that Reeves went to management.
He might have also gone to get his blaster...
It doesn't change my opinion about a self-absorbed social media addict assaulting a 71 year old man in a movie theater.
Why do you say this? The Pasco County Sheriff reported yesterday that Reeves left his seat to speak with theater employees about Texterrific Daddy.
A cop is supposed to be trained on how to handle incidents like these. So yeah they get the special treatment, they get the special standards.
You equate throwing popcorn to shooting someone. Fortunately the off duty cop also present had more sense.
Wrong again. You are projecting your own silly relativism onto others. It doesn't work. Back to my question--if Mr Reeves was a retired circus midget, what say you?
I’d say ANYONE shooting someone for throwing popcorn at them is a murderer.
EVEN if said person has been boorish.
BTW, what do you have against circus midgets? Do you hate little people?
probably a stupid question but what is the problem with texting during a film?
Good point about getting the “blaster. “ If the shooter did not talk to any employees and instead got his pistol, he could be charged with first degree murder.
Law Enfarcement is allowed to lie to the peasants without consequence.
Now, on the other hand - well, we could ask Martha Stewart about that...
Today's police are taught "Confrontation Uber Alles!". That goes double for SWAT police.
We can safely assume that Reeves was being Pavlovian in response to a peasant defying him.
See, a normal CCW holder would have left the scene. Not so with a Confrontation Boy. We can view the sad results of this misguided policy in this instance.
Heck yeah I would have left or at the very least moved. With only 23 other people the place wasn’t very crowded.
And what did management tell Reeves to do?
IF Reeves even spoke to management.I guess we are going to have to wait for the trial to find out.
71 or 17, the killers age does not excuse murder of this kind.
I was not there. I don't know what happened.
Nor do you.
The sheriff’s office confirmed that Reeves talked with a manager to complain about Oulson’s cell phone use, Detective Timothy Harris said.
“The manager said he was glad that he made him aware of it and (Reeves) returned to the theater,” Harris said. TBO.com
Previous incident involving the shooter
http://www.cnn.com/2014/01/15/...ovie-theater-shooting/
During Reeves’ first court appearance on Tuesday, prosecutors said they have heard from another theater patron who said the 71-year-old former Tampa cop saw her texting and “glared at her the entire time throughout the movie” during a screening about three weeks ago.
When the woman got up to use the restroom, Reeves followed her and “made her very uncomfortable,” prosecutors said.
CNN affiliate WTSP later identified the woman as Jamira Dixon of Wesley Chapel, the Tampa suburb where Monday’s shooting took place.
“He became just upset about the whole situation and kept staring and kept giving us dirty looks,” Dixon told the station.
Dixon said she first heard about Monday’s shooting on the radio while she was driving.
“I had to pull over the car because ... it could have been us,” she said. “It was just so close to home. It really makes you think how things could have went.”
