We are, in fact, talking about throwing popcorn.

The good news is that the impolite guy died doing what he loved, pissing off other people.

Seriously, how many people who passed on can really have that said about them?

I see what your saying. At least these two figured out a way to work out their differences. They haven’t had another argument in the last 4 years...

No what we are talking about here is 2nd degree murder. That 70 year old ex cop nutjob is going to die in prison. You don’t have the right to kill somebody for throwing popcorn at you.

I wouldn’t go quite that far. I summed up my position just above this one.

Thing is, if he was of a mindset that the guy he was throwing the popcorn on was armed, he wouldn’t have thrown it.

Again, an armed society is a polite society.

I get that from Louis L’amoure, the western fiction writer who was also an expert on the old west. He was big on guns bringing peace. He said a holstered gun was more dangerous than a drawn gun in a real way. And you don’t throw popcorn on a man if you think he may be armed. i.e. the gun actually makes the situation more civil, just as nuclear weapons and their presence in their holsters actually brought decades of peace to the civilized world.
