Killed his victim because he was "frightened of being attacked."

I say again: 9 millimeter manhood.

Officials said Mr Oulson asked Reeves if he reported him to management for using his phone.

Officials did not say what Reeves answer to that question was or if he answered him at all — except with his weapon.

“When we go to a theater we pay to see everything they put on the screen the movie and the previews.”

That’s WHY I don’t go to the theatre. They are more interested in shoving propaganda in my face for 20 minutes and more, than the start the movie on time. Last movie I went to was ‘The Passion of Christ’ and had to sit through inappropriate crap forever until they started the feature.
Previews are like the commercials on TV that everyone takes a leak during.

You make my point with all the FR “assumers”.

As to “deadly harm”, for Stand Your Ground that is purely dependent upon the defendant’s perception. Afterwards its the defendant’s responsibility to demonstrate that to a jury.

I have little sympathy for bonehead quickdraw LEO’s, but this is a case of an elderly guy being hit with “something” and then being faced with a threat, all of which put the aggressor texter in an untenable position.

One thing this certainly does is give me more respect for effectiveness of the .380 I carry and maybe will give all the idiotic movie phone users something to think about other than texting a dumbass selfie of themselves at the movie.

this is my beef with concealed or even open carry...normally, without a gun, people like this idiot would storm out of the theatre after demanding his money back, but with that gun in his belt, boy he's a big tough man isn't he...

I don't think you understand. TRUE concealed carry holders are EXTENSIVELY trained to walk away from confrontations.

Police, on the other hand, are trained to dive into and escalate confrontations. And they're usually not TRUE concealed carry holders. They just get their hidden gun-penis as a perk of their Magic Blue Costume.

This old guy Reeves was just doing what he & his kind do best.

There's probably medication involved, and maybe even steroids. His picture from the arraignment showed a beefy-looking old dude.

From the DM article:

Detectives looked into whether the shooting could fall under Florida's Stand Your Ground law, but found that the criteria didn't apply.

Good Morning,
“ Officials did not say what Reeves answer to that question was or if he answered him at all”
So is this where you got the “story” that Reeves went OUT to HIS CAR and GOT HIS WEAPON!
The “story “ you gave was duplicate to the one the Harridans gave on HLN! Could that be your proof?
Chip, If you could give reliable facts instead of suppositions and speculations, it may be more buyable.
You posts during the GMZ ordeal was better than what I have seen so far. Facts?
Hopefully I can remain a FRiend.

I didn't say he did one way or the other -- just that there was a possibility of premeditation since he came back in without management who he "presumably" went out to get but with his gun and then used it, allegedly after getting hit with an unknown object that even the detectives said didn't exist.

May I suggest you spend a little time looking back at your posts on this thread. I did and you even contradict yourself on some points, ie; Popcorn. Presumably, possibility and might have are not facts. If you wish, have the Last Word. Sayōnara, for this thread.

"Detectives looked into whether the shooting could fall under Florida's Stand Your Ground law, but found that the criteria didn't apply."

Detectives do not make that decision. First the DA will look at it but then the final decision is made by a judge.

You seem to be more upset at words than the fact that a man was shot to death by a retired cop.

Why is that???

Mr. Reeves and Mr. Oulson were in a combative argument.
Mr. Reeves had reason to fear his well being was being threatened when Mr. Olson threw something at Mr. Reeves. Mr. Reeves closed his eyes by reflex and went for his gun by instinct. Mrs. Oulson more likely trying to stop her belligerent husband than shielding him.

Mr. Reeves is likely very sorry now he didn’t move. Mr. Oulson don’t care anymore cause he is dead and won’t be excusing bad behavior using his child.

I guess Mr. Dixon is lucky that Mr. Reeves didn't have reason to fear his well being was being threatened three weeks before that...

Maybe he was afraid of the salt and/or butter which can eventually lead to high cholesterol, high blood pressure and in 20 years time, death?

You’re deranged

As if someone wouldn’t know it was popcorn thrown in their laps. Or do ya think the shooter thought it was a brick that just landed on him?

Even a jury of mental cases wouldn’t buy that.

You can’t be this ignorant or stupid to believe that cock’nbull story..

I take the cops side in this. All the guy had to do was shut off his damn cellphone. He got increasingly belligerent and the ex-cop obviously felt threatened.

I think that cops who shoot people for texting, and the people who defend cops who shoot people who text, should be put up against a wall and shot.

Maybe you don't know how to read.

In the police report it said

The victim stood up turned around and struck Reeves in the face with an unknown object.

I gave a likely scenario of what happened.

And I explained to you, are you suggesting the shooter wouldn’t know it was popcorn thrown at him? Or do ya think the shooter thought it was a brick or tire iron that just landed on him?

Once again, even a jury of mental cases wouldn’t buy that.

Come on.
