Basically...
>Man was texting during the middle of a movie
>Ex-POLICE OFFICER got pissed and shot and killed the person
Like, seriously, what the hell is wrong with our nation? Shooting somebody over something as silly as texting in the middle of a movie? I know that it's annoying, but you shouldn't shoot a damn person over it!
(FYI, I wasn't at that theatre personally when this happened, but somebody I know was. He's ok.)

Ban old men.
-
Wasn't the guy mentally ill.?
-
Ban phones.
-
I thought the guy was texting during the previews? The movie hadn't even started yet.

This happened ages ago. Also, shootings in America are hardly news anymore.

Quick one person misused a gun, let's take guns away from people who use guns right and respectably to fix this.

Edited by Raw Sugar: 1/16/2014 10:58:04 PMi heard about this yesterday. if only someone was carrying a gun to protect that guy. i mean sure it happened so fast but at least he could have shot the shooter dead after. [spoiler]obviously kidding[/spoiler]

Ill agree with and state what Recon said about this; the argument started over the in film texting, but the shooting was likely a result of what happened during the argument, likely something that would urge a shooting far more than the texting. However, through reluctance of the media or a simple lack of on site info, what happened in between is unknown, so the general consensus is some guy shoot someone else over a stupid text.

Old. And the dude threw popcorn in his face. Things escalated. He didn't just blast somebody for using their phone.
