I had no idea about this case until I read the article. If he was shot for just throwing popcorn then this is a miscarriage of justice, he is absolutely guilty of murder. This sounds more like he became infuriated over cellphone use and lost control rather than feeling threatened by popcorn.
I remember 20 years ago I was at a restaurant in the leftist sewerhole of New York city with my elderly parents who were in their 80s at the time. We were talking about the Clintons and this punk sitting at the table next to us didn’t like what we said and he knocked over our drinks and food and said something about Bush killed retarded people and I basically tried to knock the guy out. My mother had a panic attack and we had to call an ambulance and meanwhile he ran out and took off.
Well every night for weeks I went back to that restaurant looking to kill the guy but I couldn’t find him, I was ticked off to the point of insanity until I finally got a hold of myself and realized what I was doing. My point being is I was out of control, and to me that sounds exactly what was going on here. Getting pissed off is not an excuse to kill.
” If he was shot for just throwing popcorn “
He wasn’t.
The person who lost control was shot when he repeatedly assaulted Curtis Reeves. Those are the simple facts.
That’s not at all what happened.
