Old dude didn't have a good enough story(which is usually what SYG cases come down to, and it's usually the guy standing his ground doing all the story telling!). He should've said he saw the other guy reaching into his pocket.
It wouldn't surprise me if the old guy has an age related condition of some sort that's affecting his brain function. Still no excuse but highly likely.
lol. 71 isn't that old!
The only thing wrong with the old fella is he's sick to death of young know-it-alls taking their noisy toys into places where people pay to enjoy what they went there for. The young fella was showing ZERO respect to other patrons.
There are reasons phones and toys aren't allowed in certain public places. Learn from it.
Yet another reason I don't go to the theatre to see movies.....a cramped shooting gallery.
No it's cause you're paranoid.

So every argument in the country ends with a shooting?
I don't see any problem with people having a phone on vibrate in the theater in case of an emergency. Most people would leave the theater to answer. It is the people that abuse the use of phones and invade others space that get annoying. It is annoying in stores, on trains, in public restrooms that some people talk loudly and importantly on the phone so that everyone in the area has to listen to their incredibly banal conversations.

Sure, the police report was composed by uninformed keyboard peckers, namely, the investigating officers.

It's worse than I thought.
P.S. There are reasons investigations must be done before trial. That hasn't happened yet. Don't get in such a hurry. The trial is a long way off. Much will be discovered between now and then.
I'm always highly amused by people who treat internet yapping as gospel truth.
One would think the Zimm trial would have taught people to hold on to their knickers but some folks just never seem to learn.
Now you know.
Say what? Exactly what crap is being fed to me by other "keyboard peckers"?
I'm getting my "crap" off of the Tampa Bay Brighthouse, BayNews NINE channel nine news as I'm sitting here typing this and can add these little tid-bits:
Neighbours speak highly of the victim, a 12 year navy veteran PO2.
Guy who held him while he died was a Vietnam vet's son trying to enjoy an afternoon at the movies with his dad. Father, the Vietnam vet, had this to say "I can't believe someone would bring a pistol to a movie". Mmm?

It's old enough for many things to be present. I'm just trying to figure him out, what he did makes no logical sense and it no longer matters if people say he never had a penchant for violence...he clearly does now and can't be trusted with a weapon ever again. Something changed, and it's not just the invention of cell phones. You don't earn RESPECT with a gun.

I'm 67 and know I'm old so 71 fits the "old" acronym and so does a possible mental dysfunction. He'd better hope that's what a panel of doc's discover.
The only thing wrong with the old fella was an inflated sense of self importance from a career carrying weapons and a badge giving him the mistaken impression he was an authority and arbiter of what is socially acceptable behaviour AND the acceptable response if given lip he wasn't used to having to accept.
Had he not felt the need to be armed while watching a stupid movie with his wife; the worst case scenario would have been a fat lip before the very same off duty interventionists broke it up.

lol, thank you for proving my case.
Remember: Just because it's on the internet doesn't mean it's true. That's especially applicable when it comes to so-called news sources who don't know any more about what happened than do I.
The only thing wrong with the old fella is he's sick to death ...
Too bad he didn't die sooner.
Now a man will never see his child grow up.
A daughter will never have her father walk her down the aisle at her marriage.
A wife will not have the chance to grow old with her husband.
All due to the ego of some old, impotent geezer with a gun.
Edit:
BruSan, I just read your post about you being 67. Just so you know, I'm 62, so I'm not a 20-something calling the guy a 'geezer'!
