But there are some things a prudent person can do to avoid escalating a potentially dangerous confrontation and making it worse or even deadly.

Of course, all the prudent actions need to come from the unarmed man, right?

What about the shooter, were there things he might have done differently? Like just maybe keep your perspective given that it’s the previews being shown, not the movie itself?

Maybe you’ve noticed that people are still getting seated during the previews.

It’s kind of disgusting that so much of the focus is on the dead man, not the shooter.

Nope. I didn't say that.

But I would rather be alive and prudent than 'dead right'.

As I said in a previous post:

"You never know if the other guy is a loose cannon ready to blow up or not."

"I see my primary objective as survival and protection of my loved ones".

" It's not about right or wrong or being manly enough to stare the other guy down -
it's about avoiding and/or not exacerbating a potentially deadly situation when possible."
