Killing someone over thrown popcorn. Really?
Death penalty is too good for this turd.
As I understand it, the “ignored the signs” thing is simply a bon mot by a hoplophobic moron journalist ... but then I repeat myself twice ... who doesn’t know that retired cops pretty much get to carry anywhere they want under federal law.
Douchenozzle deserves death.
The only reason this hasn’t been made into a cause by the anti gun crowd is that the perp was a cop. If he wasn’t, you would be hearing about this nonstop as an example of what happens when concealed carry is legal.
Problem is that at 71 he will die in jail first.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Like mac daddy rule do not apply to this murderer. A husband is dead and a wife wounded because this murderer thinks he is above the law.
I've seen some of them doing it anyway.
“Problem is that at 71 he will die in jail first.”
Maybe not. The turd that chased my cousin around his apartment, stabbing him 27 times, and of course killing him, got 13 years, and was out in 7.

Geez, they didn’t get much right. You have an old retired cop with a sterling service record who goes out to tell the theater manager about someone texting which is against the theater rules. The dude was texting the daycare center. When the old guy returns, he wasn’t able to talk to the manager, text dude starts a confrontation and then throws popcorn per witnesses at the retired cop.
1. Retired cop reacts based on years of training and experience to something being thrown at him by an 2. angry man who is younger and taller during a time when his 3. eyesight is hindered by going from a lighted area to a very dark area. Texter dude hit the death trifecta. BAM!
Is this an opinion piece or is it supposed be actual reporting?
Crap either way. The Stand Your Ground reference is totally irrelevant. Whole piece sounded petty lefty snarky to me.
Snarky doesn’t begin to describe it. Many factual errors.
No — he’s got it right
Your recitation is incorrect.
In what regard? The man wasn’t a retired cop? His eyesight hadn’t recovered after entering the dark theater? The text dude didn’t ask if the retired cop had reported him to management? The text dude wasn’t the one that threw the popcorn?
We ironed out the facts over here:

The article unfortunately is essentially factually correct.
Did you miss the part where the cop threw the first kernel of popcorn as was stated in court.
“Your recitation is incorrect.”
I would agree that “IF” the dead guy had been sitting on top of the shooter banging his head into the concrete floor, the shooter would have been justified...
So if I walk into a dark theater I can shoot anyone who ‘scares’ me?
