Texting in the theater in Florida? I don't think so...

I do not feel enough information has been released to come to a conclusion as to who was at fault.

Or.... you know... an asteroid could have landed on the theater and killed him. Therefore, shoot somebody in the throat...

Here, borrow mine. But give it back, I'm counting on it hitting Mile High at 160,000 mph and the first part splintering off and hitting Payton Manning square in his dick!

Hey, think we can get Manning and Brady to go to a theater and start texting each other? Those Colorado theaters aren't exactly gun-free zones either!

Not enough info but we know the guy is guilty no matter what because the guy was "just texting". Was there something that happened between the texting and the guy getting shot? Sounds to me like there was a hell of a lot going on.

We know the police talked to witnesses who did not see any punches thrown. We know the defense attorney is claiming the bag of popcorn thrown is cause to fear for your life. We know this isn't the first time he has harassed movie goers.

I'm trying to wait until we get more info before I pass a judgement.

You'd really rather kill someone than take a few punches?

I had an old guy start some shit with me during the preview-previews. The lights werent even down and my friend and I were chatting about whatever, and he wanted us to not talk at all. I told him he wasnt the boss of me and I could talk if I wanted to. He fought with me for roughly 5 mins, and I didnt back down at all. He ended up dropping it.

No one has the right to tell you what to do just cuz they dont like it. I dont give a shit who the dude was texting, he wasnt texting during the movie, and even if he was, he didnt deserve to die over it.

I realize CP is trying to regain its "burst", but ****ing A people....

She said as much in her first post.

And at some of the ****ing loons in this thread applauding/rationalizing this dude's actions.

The Veteran claimed he was struck by an unknown object, he the pulled out his gun, shot the guy once, then sat back down in his seat and put the gun on his lap. Witnesses claimed no punches were thrown.
