I don’t think they’ll touch this one.
“Retired cop” is one of the elite people that they think is OK to have guns.
Stand your ground isn’t justification to start blazing away. Really all it does is remove the requirement to retreat before using deadly force.
You still have to have justification for deadly force. So the question is whether a reasonable person would believe their life was in imminent danger from having popcorn thrown in their face.
Popcorn is thrown in his face, he’s taken by surprise, can’t see...who knows what’s coming next?
Two questions:
1. Why did Oulson throw popcorn at Reeves?
2. How does a three year old read text messages?
“1. Why did Oulson throw popcorn at Reeves? “
Because they were having an argument and he made a bad decision.
The real question is how did two adults let this situation get so far out of hand?
“2. How does a three year old read text messages?”
By picking up a phone and looking at the screen.
Really? A three year old has a cell phone and is reading text messages from Daddy.
“Really? A three year old has a cell phone and is reading text messages from Daddy.”
Some parents actually do give their little ones phones or perhaps he was texting to a tablet. And yes some 3 yr olds can read basic words, like mom, or dad.
Why are you making 3 yr old child of a homocide victim into a potential criminal? Seriously does it really matter who the heck he was texting.
Lots of people use their cell phone during movies. yes, its annoying but it certainly isn’t worth shooting someone over. Move to a different seat or just wait a few minutes and the guy will probably stop.
I’d imagine a full blown argument is a good deal more distracting that some guy texting in the row aheadh of you.
I never implied this. It is deceitful and unprincipled to assign such a description to my skepticism that Daddy is sending important text messages to a three year old while in a movie theater.

An apologist for self-absorbed, social media addicts whose behavior interferes with paying patrons. Alrighty then.
” It is deceitful and unprincipled to assign such a description to my skepticism that Daddy is sending important text messages to a three year old while in a movie theater.”
nonsense, he’s sending a txt. I’m sure anything from Daddy is important to a 3 yr old. Especially in this case where its the last communication she’ll ever have with her father.
Who cares why he was sending a txt. Sure txting during the previews is rude. Not nearly as rude as a bullet to the chest.
Kind a conundrum isn't it? It probably was, in fact, the most import text he will ever have sent her.
Of course, if he hadn't sent it, she could still be waiting for that most important text.
Hopefully he died doing what he loved.
Texterrific Daddy committed assault and battery when he hit Curtis in the face at close range with a hurled object. Of course, you are free to continue apologies for self-absorbed social media addicts.
You have driven home the most important point of this incredibly sad story. Thanks for sharing your wisdom.
You bootlickers are amazing.
Just because this guy is an ex-cop you will excuse anything whatsoever. There are multiple witnesses, one of which is a cop. The guy was arrested on the spot. He has been charged with 2nd degree MURDER and yet you still make excuses.
Murder for a text?
how Christian of you
No real question: someone had no manners, no consideration for anyone else around him; someone who was such a jerk he couldn't even understand the rudeness of his actions when pointed out.
Perhaps it is your idea of proper comportment in public to act any idiotic way you want and force those around you who are disturbed to confront you and challenge you to stop it. AND THEN get all up in their face when they dare do so.
And don't even try to do something stupid like imply my statement above means I approve of shooting someone over boorish manners; I don't so don't even go there.
Perhaps the reason you think there is a "real question" why this happened is because you are one of those people like the obnoxious dead guy.
So murder is now the justifed response for texting during previews?
Jeez what do they get if they fart.
but you are excusing murder for boorish behavior.
Murder
Just because this guy is an ex-cop.
You resort to ad hominem attacks and name-calling when you've lost all sense of rational discussion. No need to sink to drama queen status. We'll forgive you and allow you to try again.
.... so other than that, how was the movie?
