This is inordinately clear.
I'm trying to imagine being in a movie theater and having a argument with another theater patron....Then shooting him to death in front of everyone, claiming self defense because he tossed some popcorn on me.

Agreed. This is going to be an uphill argument. You would have to do a lot more than throw popcorn on me to get me to draw a weapon. Most people who CC will go to great lengths to avoid confrontation. Like move to another row in the theater which would have been the first thing that I would have thought of.
I think there is more to it than a little popcorn. The ex cop has a chip on his shoulder about authority. He still thinks he’s a cop. He still wants to tell people what to do.
The shooter left the movie theater, got his gun out of the car, returned to the theater, and re-started the argument. He finally pushed, pushed, pushed until he got what he wanted. He got a reaction. Then shot the man.
Pre-meditated murder. Pathetic.
When carrying my weapon, I am the least likely to get into an altercation of any kind. Because of the responsibility of carrying. A legal and a moral responsibility.
This old cop wanted to shoot somebody. He did it with his wife sitting next to him. What an inexplicably horrible person.

-You wouldn’t, because you’re someone with an actual conscience. It’s quite possible that a number of people here who are defending this shooting, are sociopathic, and are lacking any conscience or empathy for human life.
