At 71 years old? Yeah. At 24? Let the Good times roll. Against the 43 year old, who would be screaming about how he was attacked.
Even at 71 flung popcorn is not likely to kill.
The deputies and paramedics who examined Reeves after the shooting saw no visible marks of any kind on him. None. But perhaps you can point out to the rest of us, the extent of his injuries received from the popcorn assault. Here's some photos of Reeves from immediately afterwards to refresh your recollection of the incident.
As for “disturbing people” how many people's lives were disturbed by Reeves firing a weapon in a movie theater? Did the movie continue after the shooting?
