One other huge dissimilarity:
Zimmerman called the cops. He was returning to his vehicle when he was jumped from behind. Reeves went to complain to the management, he didn’t call for the police. Then he went and sat right back down and with gun in hand engaged in a confrontation about Mr. Oulson texting. Logic would indicate he was ready to pull his gun, and did so, after he was hit by popcorn. Now, he might have been able to make the case for second degree assault, if he hadn’t shot both Mr and Mrs Oulson. But the Idea that popcorn is a “weapon” is pretty laughable.
-what are his injuries? It’s not going to fly in court.

What you are describing sounds a lot like second degree murder to me.

How did you determine that Reeves had his hand on his gun?

How did you determine that Reeves engaged in a confrontation after re-taking his seat?

How did Reeves trick his antagonist into throwing popcorn at him?

In what jurisdiction is it necessary for a person to sustain injuries in order to be assaulted? Is it not sufficient that a reasonable person would fear injury?

Tell me how you rule out a charge of voluntary manslaughter?

Or for that matter, involuntary manslaughter?
