He stood his ground?!! (Not?!!)

[zappasguitar]

You think this guy shot the man because he felt SYG would get him off the hook?

No, I think he shot that guy because he's another coward with anger issues who carries a gun.

 

[MAGA MAN]

Yea it's all over the net. Just google "man shot for texting in florida theater."

It seems to me he shot him for tossing popcorn at him. That's a lot more justifiable, especially based on the dead guy's reaction to being told the theater rules.

Knowing this, you should be more polite to people.

He's going to go for that.

If they were both white, it probably won't work.
If the victim was black, it will work.
If they were both black, it probably won't work.

There's a reason black people call this the "shoot the n and walk" law.

Really? Give us a name of a black person who said that.

Oh so theeeeeeeeeeeeerree you are.

You know, I thought about your little tirade yesterday about "homophobe" being objectionable, so I fixed the thread to take away that particular distraction and...POOF...you just left.

I'm right here buddy. As a board addict I'm never too hard to find.

My comments yesterday were a tirade? I guess we can each have our own definition of what equates to a tirade. And unfortunately I did not leave, I'm still here.

What gun regulations do you feel would have prevented this from occurring?

You're going to shoot someone because they threw popcorn at you? Too much of a pussy to fight?

You care about people with anger issues who carry guns? Amazing. A leftist has just awakened to Islamic terrorism.

I knew Bill Hickock and believe me, Wild Bill would have shot the bastard for messin up his previews.

I support gun rights but too many people use guns because they cannot or are afraid to fight. At least if you fight you live to fight another day. Was this really worth it for the guy to spend the rest of his life in prison?

In this case the young guy threw popcorn in response to being told what the theater rules were. Perhaps it was a diversion to jump over the seat and physically attack the older man. If I'm an old geezer feeling threatened by a younger one, fighting may include my personal defense weapon.

...At least if you fight you live to fight another day. ...

This is in no way a given. Many people have been killed in fights.

I like my freedom too much. I'm not shooting a guy who threw popcorn at me.

Yes, technically you are correct. But that is beyond a negligible number.

My point is that you or I don't know the whole story. Obviously the younger guy threw the popcorn at the older guy to initiate a physical confrontation in response for being told what the theater rules were. Do you think that was reasonable?

That's fantastic.

This one is good, too. "We don't know the whole story but this is obviously what happened and what the one guy was thinking at the time."

 

[MAGA MAN]

Yes, technically you are correct. But that is beyond a negligible number.

That number is going up as society coarsens, the age of the person attacked increases, and respect for the elderly diminishes. With that in mind, if I were an old geezer, I may not like the odds.

And maybe the young guy tossed popcorn at or theatened the older man's wife. That would end it for me right then.

 

[MAGA MAN]

This one is good, too. "We don't know the whole story but this is obviously what happened and what the one guy was thinking at the time."

It is a fact that the younger guy threw popcorn in response for being told what the rules are. Undeniable.
