Young guy being a good dad justifies his behavior to call daughter. Old guy mention that rules are rules after asking nicely to turn off phone. Please note that this is only previews and the announcement was made old guy again states only what is the rules. 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.
what happen not right but even on the OC the mentality to disrespect older members is a good indicator of what happen at the movies.....
There is just no way any sane individual can call this shooting a "justified action", regardless of how aggressive the younger guy was (unless he got to the point where he handed the phone to the wife, leapt over "x" rows of seats and started beating the living shit out of the guy with the gun).
A justified action in the event that the guy wanted the phone shut off and the other guy wasn't would be to inform theater employees -- not instigate a scenario where he wound up murdering someone over a minor annoyance.
And this is why some people disagree with you when you start talking about how you want to openly wear a gun in public and stuff like this. If you think this was a justifiable action, how are others to know you won't be doing the same thing because someone sorta kinda annoyed you and then didn't immediately back down and bow to your authority?
