And the legal question will be did he deserve to pay with his life? You seem to be saying YES.

Since you never know if someone is carrying a concealed weapon, what you're saying is, "Never start a fight."

Look Edward, if you or someone else acted like a crybaby and ran to a movie theatre person for texting (which to me is NOT disruptive or distracting anyone else) I probably would have been like "WTF" as well!

they were all white, so you know race isn't the issue here

Florida is a colony of Hell. no normal American of any race should venture there.

The victim was in the lower aisle, the shooter in the upper aisle behind. Both were standing. Hardly "in your face".

Maybe it's time to actually see how this plays out and actually wait for ALL the information to come out before a rush to judgement one way or another?

Didn't the Zimmerman kerfuffle teach us anything??
Yes, we don't know all the facts in detail yet. But nothing in the detail we have left to learn would change a word of what I said.

Add a gun to a human stupidity scenario and bad things happen that wouldn't otherwise. I have little doubt that the deceased was probably being an ***hole and that most of us would have had an animal impulse to throw a left hook at him. But nothing we have heard so far comes close to justifying shooting him.

Shouldn't have happened and wouldn't have happened but for our mindless gun culture.

I think never start a fight is best and just retreat(yes that really is the best word) from one because the outcome may alter lives. Fighting only necessary in defence of self or loved ones when there is a clear violent threat without provocation.
