I hate people using their phone in the theater but who turns it off before they at least turn down the lights and start the previews? Even during the previews I'd be hard pressed to be annoyed by someone.

This old man had to have been hopped up on Low T medicine and roids.

Maybe the old man was trying to answer the trivia question but could not concentrate due to the texting...

Everyone in Florida has a gun. 1,000,000 gun owners have a concealed carry permits. Stand your ground law. It has created a atmosphere that its okay to say.........kill a guy for texting.

Considering this guy is going to go to jail for the rest of his life I’m not sure where you’re getting this “atmosphere” :BS: from.

If you're a lib in Florida you have to cry about stand your ground even when it's clearly not a duty-to-retreat situation, it's a requirement.

I can almost hear Johnny Cash....

I shot a man in Tampa
Just to watch him die
Now when I see somebody texting
I hang my head and cry...

Texting is what started the confrontation. I assume it went something like this:
"Hey buddy, you mind not using your phone during the movie."
"Yeah, in a moment bub." Guy doesn't look back and continues to text.
"Hey, I asked you nicely not to use your phone. You're in a theater."
"Buzz off pops."
"Excuse me?"
"You'd hear me if you'd pull your dick out of your ear."

Old man runs off to get the theater manager. Which was the appropriate thing to do. He then returns and the guy is still texting...

"I'm not going to ask you again, stop texting during the show."
Guy stands up enraged, "The movie hasn't start yet fucktop. Mind your own damn business or I'll hop over this seat and kick your ass..."

Or something like that.

The bottom line is that we have two grown men who both failed to use common sense and be courteous with each other. Had the guy just put his phone away or at the very least, show some iota of courtesy to the old man, then none of this would have happened. It's simply tragedy that could and should have been avoided.

Lastly, who the **** texts a 3 year-old? What 3 year-old has a phone, the language capacity, and know-how to text?

Texting a 3yr old....I call BS.....

Everyone is different. My mom turned 70 last month and she is in pretty good health. If you didn't know, you'd think she is around 60.

the wife had a hand in it. No free tickets for her.

Does it matter? I don't care if he is surfing porn during the previews he has every right to use his device until the movie starts. We don't know what happened in the exchange, but unless the texting father put him in danger that was unavoidable there is no defense. If shooting someone because they are an asshole becomes justifiable...Welcome to Thunderdome.

They should have just sent in the camel.

"Hey, Chad! Chad, Chad, Chad, Chad."
