“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.

Thank God most with those permits have a bit more common sense and critical thought going on and would avoid opening up on some unarmed patron a crowded movie theater, over a minor, rather common public dispute/argument.

There are probably 25,000 arguments and disputes per day between strangers in public, people flipping others off etc....Most end it by walking away, some even get physical to some extent.

Very few end with one party opening up and shooting to death an unarmed person in public. And the perpetrator usually has a violent history, who's been in the system, in the joint, on parole etc...

This was not an armed robbery or armed assault by any stretch of the imagination.
