How much is your text worth?

These don't get locked until I post.

There ya go.

Just gonna sneak some pesky ol' logic in here...

why does the kop deserve "the benefit of the doubt" and to have "all judgement reserved until the facts come forward", but it's ok to assume the dead father was a rude @sshole who shouldn't have done ____ or ____? Espec since we'll never hear his side of the story...
?

The retied LEO does not deserve the benefit of the doubt. There is no reason to shoot someone for throwing popcorn or texting. Hopefully, he will have a trial and be found guilty.

make the beast with two backsing asshole ex-cops and on duty ones need to learn that it is not OK to kill others without just cause.

Feel free to lock it now.

[hbliam]

Well I think that will do it.

LMT. I forgive you. You must be having a bad day.

Nothing to forgive. I am having a great day. You are just an ass that pisses me off. Get off your high horse and be a regular human for a while. The thin blue line is not your friend.

Really, you HAVE to text your 3 year old daughter and refuse to stop after you have been asked to?

Really, you HAVE to shoot two people in a theater over a text?  Are you make the beast with two backsing kidding?

Around here, people text all the time during the previews. It stops when the movie starts.

Who in the hell shoots someone over texting and popcorn?

This^

kidding aside ... to take a life for a rude act.  wow ... i have
anger issues, but this guy need(ed) psychological help.

This^

I agree, it's all stupid. But for all we know Mr. Text might have been physically assaulting the retired police officer and he fired in self defense. Just guessing here. We'll never know all the facts unless we were there and saw it.

So why guess?  For all we know Mr. IGottaBringMyGunToTheMovies might have just been turned down by a $25 hooker and was looking for someone to make the beast with two backs with.

A 71 yr old retired cop who probably should've turned in his gun along with his tin badge, that's who.

This^

At least the guy that shot the texter in Florida was a retired police Captain and not some racially driven gun packing nut like the press would love to make him out to be.

Yeah, that makes it much better.

I'll wait to hear the rest of the story before I make my own judgement

but

I don't think that guy possesses the correct mindset to carry a firearm in public.

There are small issues and big ones.  Other peoples behaviour at a theater always qualifies as a small issue.

Big issues are for guns

Small ones are for words.  Or fists I suppose.  It can be a sliding scale.

I shouldn't have bothered posting this. I knew it would fall apart. My point was people behaving rudely with their phones in public and how things got so badly out of hand. Not condoning rude phone behavior or extreme violence against those who behave that way. It's a real life example of two extremes in our crippled society.

Oh... never mind. I guess now it's turned into an experiment in how and when one of you gets this locked.

No shortage of irony in this post.

It's too late to make this look good

I find very little good about being right.

Mary, as much as I hate to do this, you get 24 hours off for your part in this.
