Uh I don’t think we are talkig about throwing popcorn here. First of all when you conceal carry you are supposed to be able to control yourself so you don’t draw your weapon unless you fear for your life. Getting some popcorn thrown on you followed up by nothing else is just not just cause.

We are, in fact, talking about throwing popcorn.

The good news is that the impolite guy died doing what he loved, pissing off other people.

Seriously, how many people who passed on can really have that said about them?

Yeah. I get that. I’m not saying a popcorn thrower deserves to be shot. I’m talking about a completely different issue.

To wit: If you live in a culture where there is an assumption that a lot of people in a movie theater are carrying or concealed carrying, you don’t start stuff. This is why an armed society is a polite society. It’s sort of a “personal” version of MAD (Mutual Assured Destruction).

This is why I am confident Trayvon Martin is the one that started the altercation with Zimmerman. If you are unarmed and assume the other guy is, you may start a fist fight. If you are armed, you don’t start fist fights except in hollywood westerns.

I’m addressing a deep psychological issue with my remark regarding conflict and conflict resolution.
