Disagree.
Popcorn assault did not justify death.
He only feared being assaulted. An actual assault never occurred, and the man he shot didn’t have a weapon.
All because of a phone call during previews. Not worth a person’s life. Why didn’t Mr. Reeves just move to another seat?
Another case of prosecution overreach?
Why not charge him with manslaughter? Murder seems a bit much. Tempers flared, chaos ensued, he said he was in fear, and he shot him. Heat of the moment, manslaughter.
This is a joke… judge should be disbarred for this farce.
This was murder, no doubt about it… perp played that I did good things with my life so I shouldn’t go to jail.
Coward and a murderer
Scariest thing in your life was being hit with popcorn in your face?
BS..
The right verdict, and for those who watched the trial realized that the media narrative was completely wrong. Fortunately, eight years of media lies and distortions did not sway the jury. They recognized that this was a proper use of self defense and they came to the correct conclusion.
The behavior of the prosecution team was deplorable. The defense team was right on the law, but their opening and closing arguments were disasters. Despite all of this, the jury did their duty and, in my opinion, reached the right verdict.
I worked construction with paroled murderers when I was nineteen. The owner of the company would not hire thieves, but he had no problem with murderers. Two of those guys were talking on our lunch break. One asked the other why he killed the drunk in the bar. His answer was that the man needed killing.
I'm not saying the guy is right, he spent his time in prison for murder. But I've thought about this over the past fifty years and I believe that there are individuals that can only be killed for there barbaric acts.
Expecting someone to wait until they are murdered with one punch is idiotic.
the texter should not have been shot to death but he was the ahole in this. Just follow the theatre rules and don’t text. go to the lobby to play candy crush.
Ping.
Let this be a clear warning to anyone who texts or talks on the phone during a movie. You’d deserve this and MORE!
An armed society is a polite society.
👍👍👍
Another short fused hot head out of the gene pool. buh bye.
Yet again, a jury demonstrates that the narrative and the media that creates it are full of bovine excrement.
Hi guy.
Hope you are having a great weekend. (Excellent weather).
I listened to some testimony. I have a different perspective on the situation.
I carry everywhere I go. Because I carry, I try and defuse or disengage from a situation. For example, once I asked Mr. Olsen (politely) to lower the volume. If he didn’t or caused more noise, I would have moved.
I thought he would get manslaughter 1.
Fwiw.
5.56mm
He wasn’t assaulted by my standards
I was unaware of this till today
An argument ensued because the younger man with his wife was texting during previews....his wife said to check on their child....I assumed that was collaborated
They argued .
Reeves went to the mgt and complained
He came back same seat.
Further arguing
Dead man throws popcorn ....folks here say it was a cell phone ...I don’t know
Reeves feels threatened and shoot younger man in chest and kills him and also hits man wife in hand
That’s all I’ve got
I don’t see this cut and dried at all and if I shot everyone who did this I’d need my own graveyard to bury them in
The old man at trial had the benefit of eight years later he’s quite old and has cane now
Low rate manslaughter would have been a more appropriate charge
Freepers threshold for killing is quite low
Easy for folks who’ve never killed or had to make that call to say
If you’ve got more please share
Boy! Oh boy! The mamby-pambies have sure come out on this thread!
