As someone earlier pointed out, I'm curious why the wife's hand got shot, and if she was trying to hold the dead guy back from attacking the old guy. But even if she was, I think the old guy is in a heap of trouble, so maybe it doesn't make much difference.

It's really hard for me to buy any type of self-defense argument. There were no punches thrown, and it was in a public area with dozens of other people around. Yelling, "Help! Call the police!" would have sufficed as a defense.

I tend to doubt he thought that far ahead. Read the bio on this guy, he’s a man of authority that isn’t used to being told to get bent much less have some smart ass punk throw something at him. I’m willing to bet his reaction is based on emotion and pride.

Most 70 something people live in an elderly care home? Are you serious? Go to Branson, MO sometime and check out the people in their 90's running around on vacation. You're off on the age demographic here. No way in hell "most" people in their 70's are living in a nursing home.

A guy was killed because some asshole didn't like him texting during movie previews. The previews. This isn't a both wrong scenario.

There's not one thing in that article that constitutes a threat. Yeah, she apparently had a run in with him, but no threats were made.

Yeah, I read it again and no mention of her saying such a thing. Here are the quotes from the article.











I'm not defending the guy. But nothing from the article indicates that she felt threatened, as you stated. The only thing that I see that could be out of line is the part about him following her to the restroom. But it doesn't appear that he confronted her or even spoke to her at all during that time. In fact, nothing from that article indicates that he spoke to her at all.

It's the way its being portrayed down here. She had a press conference in her driveway. There are a shitload of articles and news reports on this issue. Big story down here. She went to the prosecutor on her own. Maybe shes a publicity hound?

I personally don't give a shit. I wasn't saying its my opinion she was threatened or not.
