Young guy out with wife is now embarrassed and annoyed and to demonstrate superiorly over old guy and defenseless old guy proceeds to push what he justified as being a good dad over rules the theater / cell phone respect other right in public place. This old guy just did not pull out a 38, blow this young guy way on the sound of the keypad now did he? There was a leading up to the end event. Young guy under estimated old guy potential.
Young guy get aggressive ( young want to impress wife and justify his behavior is now going to tell old guy what right) aggressiveness increases because old guy is just old... Surprise old guy doesn't coward frustrating young guy more to the point old police guy is being physically threaten ... Boom bad day both wrong but both justified action.

This is simple trying to Blame someone for their action does not compute... We have a dead good dad and a honorable retire police officer as a shooter. Something when to far quickly and the lives of two families will never be the same. That the sad truth.


Cell phones have been the weapon of killing many incident people this could be just another tragic story added to the list.

We need to license cell phones.... Where the Liberal call to ban cell phones

I too dislike it when people use their phones in a movie theater. And I too have a hot temper that is easily irritated by people acting like jerks.

But the price of "acting a little bit like a jerk and texting during the previews" cannot be "Someone might murder you". Not if we want to cling to a thin veneer of civilization.


A little kid's dad went to the movies, and is never going to come home to her again. Think about that for two seconds. This isn't a soundbyte, this isn't a fun topic for gun people to argue into the ground. A man got murdered in a movie theater by exactly the kind of "good guy with a gun" we're supposed to feel good about. A woman woke up a wife and went to bed a widow. A little girl woke up with a daddy and went to bed without one.


I find it very upsetting that people respond to this story with variants of "Well, it's terrible, but you shouldn't text in movie theaters."


Come on, man. A family just plunged into the worst kind of tragedy. Have a little compassion.

A comment on NPR sums up my feeling about this pretty well:
