Widow tells ‘GMA’: Put theater shooter in prison for life
The Tampa Tribune ^ | January 23, 2014 | Rick Mayer

Nicole Oulson told a national television audience today that she wants Curtis Reeves, the man accused of killing her husband in a Wesley Chapel movie theater, to spend the rest of his life in prison.

“He brought an unfair life sentence to me to have to raise my daughter alone, to have to live without the love of my life, for my daughter to grow up without her daddy by her side for graduation and marriage,” Oulson said on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” “It was so unnecessary, it was for no reason. So I want him behind bars and to be punished for his senseless act.

“That comment is out of line.”

I was simply making a general point. I guess if the shoe fits, wear it. From the look of most of the posts, the trend is against your position that this “shooting” was somehow “justified.” And for the record, I did argue the facts. I believe that people should not be cops for a lifetime career. The environment is too toxic and is results in an anti-social personality that affects all that are ever around them. And it’s broader for me since I think that LEOs have become a generally abusive and disgraceful lot who take pleasure in physically abusing the rest of us and in routinely getting away with their unconstitutional behavior. For me the word “moron” fits the vast majority of them. Sorry!

“They will never take issue with one of their own. And then we have some at FR who try to somehow justify the shooter in this case.”

Could that possibly be because we have greater respect for freedom of expression and differences of opinion?

Possibly something to do with our preference for individualism, freedom and representative government, vs. Leftist ideology, conformism and dictatorship.

/Sardonism and irony

Do you have children? Did they EVER talk that way? Or refer to themselves in the third-person (”Lexy happy too”)

You first: Do you have children - or rather toddlers?

My six-year-old son didn't speak that well when he was 22 months old. I remember well. My 14-year-old daughter spoke better than that - in three languages (for which reason she was asked to participate in a long-term study of multilingual children).

That a 22-month-old child might speak as quoted here is perfectly consistent with my personal experience - especially since we don't know the details (is the child suffering from a learning disability, etc.?).

Regards,

“Mr. Burtonshaw?”
“Me, doctor.”
“No, me doctor, you Mr. Burtonshaw.”
(”Come this way, please”)
“My wife, nurse.”
“No, your wife patient.”

Then as a bonus, you demand free tickets to the movie of your choice because ‘this one was RUNED’.

...good one...you’re not from the coal region of eastern Pennsylvania, by any chance, are you...

...I know someone from there who won’t ride in a convertible because her hair would be ‘roont’...

This kinda reminds me of instances like road rage, where someone is driving in the left lane at the same speed or slower than the right lane, or say, sharply cutting someone off. But in this case, it was someone using their phone in a theater.

Being right or wrong in what you are doing, is not going to stop some nut from making it a lethal situation. Unless you are prepared to accommodate the lethal level of occurrence, it's best to apologize or just stop what you are doing. These are not the times to engage angrily with strangers. There are tons of crazies out there waiting to go off.

This also give the anti-gun media another chance to run more hit pieces on Stand Your Ground laws.

That’s the only reason we are hearing about this at all, and the only reason they are exploiting the wife.

You can’t shoot and kill someone for throwing popcorn on you.
..........................................................
Would you suggest a concealed weapon for dealing with knockout game perps?

When would it be ok to use the gun in that case if the answer is ‘yes’?

Any chance you would think it’s ok to shoot just before the much younger perp punches the much older victim in the face?

Any chance this older man thought the younger man was about to punch him? As evidenced by first throwing popcorn in his face and I’d be fairly certain saying some choice words?

I wonder what the comments here would be if the victim was a young black gang member with the shooter was not an ex cop.

Whatever happened to the idea to be resepectful of others. The guy could have gone to the theatre lobby to text. What were these people doing leaving a 22 month old baby home alone with a young teenage sitter. I think people ought to wait until a child is out of baby stage and at least to pre school age before you leave them with a sitter unless the sitter is a family member

Yup. Good shoot, all right.

Likely that they have. And someday, someone will be confronted by rapists, carjackers, a guy like the Aurora shooter, or robbers at ATM,,, and they will be unarmed.

They laws permitting CCW will be changed because of guys like am armed jackass who had to rudely enforce minor points of etiquette on those around him.And started a confrontation that ended up lethal.
