NBC's Kerry Sanders reports.</p><!-- end22313156 --></div><div class="byline">By Erik Ortiz, Staff Writer, NBC News</div><p>The retired Florida police captain accused of fatally shooting a man who was texting during a movie — coincidentally a fellow ex-sailor — had every right to defend himself, his lawyer argued in court Tuesday.</p><p>But Curtis Reeves Jr., who faces life in prison in the <a href="http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2014/01/13/22292711-retired-cop-guns-down-man-for-texting-at-florida-movie-sheriff?lite">shooting at a Florida movie theater</a>, was denied bail.</p> <hr class="excerptEnd"><p>The Pasco County Sheriff's Office says Reeves fired a single round from a .380 handgun at 43-year-old Chad Oulson, striking him in the chest during a showing of Mark Walhberg's Navy SEALs movie, "Lone Survivor," on Monday.</p><p>The round also hit Oulson's wife, Nichole, in the hand as she tried to pull her husband away, authorities said.</p><p>Pasco County Circuit Judge Lynn Tepper ruled there was enough evidence to uphold the second-degree murder charge against Reeves and ordered the 71-year-old remanded into custody.</p><p>Reeves' lawyer, Richard Escobar, argued that with his long list of credentials on the Tampa police force and as security for the Busch Gardens amusement park he should be trusted to be let out of jail on bond.</p><div id="vine-inlinePhoto__22303824" data-contentid="22303824" class="inlinePhoto photo_landscape photo_align_right " style="width:380px;"><img id="http://media2.s-nbcnews.com/i/MSNBC/Components/Photo/_new/140114-TEXTING-SHOOTING-JSW-228P.jpg" src="Retired%20Tampa%20cop%20denied%20bail%20in%20movie-theater%20slaying%20-%20U.S.%20News_files/140114-TEXTING-SHOOTING-JSW-228P.jpg" alt="" height="285" width="380"><p class="photo_credit">Facebook</p><div class="photo_credit_container"><p>Chad Oulson and his wife, Nichole, in a photo from Facebook. A retired Tampa police officer, Curtis Reeves, Jr., has been charged with fatally shooting Chad Oulson during an argument over texting at a Florida movie theater.</p></div><!-- end22303824 --></div><p>"He's been protecting the community from individuals that do commit crimes," said Escobar, adding that he believes "his danger to the community is nonexistent."</p><p>Escobar said the courtroom was filled with retired law enforcement willing to attest that his client has "no propensity whatsoever for violence."</p><p>Reeves appeared via video from jail during the hearing, wearing a sleeveless, padded vest. He declined to speak to the judge at his attorney's request.</p><p>The horrifying incident at the Cobb Grove 16 cinemas in Wesley Chapel on Monday was sparked by Chad Oulson's cellphone use, according to the complaint affidavit obtained by NBC News.</p><p>Reeves was sitting behind the Oulsons and confronted Chad Oulson about texting during the previews, witnesses told police. One witness said Oulson explained to Reeves that he was messaging his 3-year-old daughter.</p><p>Reeves got up to complain to management. When he returned to the theater, they continued arguing, and Oulson "threw a bag of popcorn at the defendant," the complaint said.</p><p>While there had been no actual physical altercation, Reeves told deputies he was hit in the face with the "unknown object."</p><p>Fearing that he was being attacked, Reeves said, he took the semiautomatic handgun from his pants pocket and fired one round.</p><p>A witness later recounted to reporters that Oulson fell, saying in disbelief: "I can't believe I got shot."</p><p>Oulson was taken to the hospital, where he died. His wife's injury was non-life-threatening.</p><p>Reeves was watching the movie with his wife, Vivian. At the time of the shooting, their son, Mathew Reeves, a Tampa police officer, had just arrived to meet them, authorities <a href="http://www.tampabay.com/news/publicsafety/movie-shooting-suspect-was-once-go-to-guy-on-tampa-police-force/2160866">told the Tampa Bay Times.</a></p><p>Friends and acquaintances of Reeves' say the allegations are "out of character" for him. The father of two and grandfather of one has been married for 46 years, is a Navy veteran and attends Bible study regularly, his attorney said.</p><p>He joined the Tampa Police Department in 1966 and worked his way up to captain before retiring in 1993. A police spokeswoman said he was instrumental in creating the force's first tactical response team, also referred to as the SWAT team.</p><p>After retiring, Reeves worked at Busch Gardens until 2005 as director of security, a park spokesman said.</p><p>Joe D'Andrea, who lives in Reeves' quiet Brooksville neighborhood, called him a "top-shelf kind of guy" who enjoys riding his motorcycle and taking walks with his wife.</p><p>"I used to tease him when I'd see them and say, 'Does your wife know you're out with this younger girl?'" D'Andrea said. "He would laugh."</p><p>Oulson, of Land O' Lakes, was remembered by friends as a "gentle spirit" devoted to his family.</p><p>Navy officials confirmed he served in the Navy from 1990 to 1997, reaching the rank of petty officer 2nd class. He had a clean record during his time and was last stationed in Jacksonville, Fla.</p><p>On Facebook, Oulson appeared to be a doting dad, applying lipstick on his daughter's face and helping her ride a bike.</p><p>Friends said the couple chose a matinee on Monday so they would still have time to pick up their daughter from day care.</p><p>Neighbor Sav Mongelli said Oulson was the kind of guy who would look out for people in the community.</p><p>"Chad was a great friend and neighbor [and] watched out for my wife and kids when I was out [of] town on business," Mongelli told NBC News via Facebook. "Just a gentle loving family man with a lot of friends. Life of the party."</p><p><i>NBC News' Tracy Connor, Jim Miklaszewski and Courtney Kube contributed to this report.</i></p></div></div><div class="c-article-list"><div id="j_contentset_active_5" class="elliott_contentset_ContentSetPrinter j_contentset_active j_widget" data-num-to-show="5" data-title="<h3>Recently Popular Discussions</h3>" data-domain="usnews" data-link-to-article="true"><h3>Recently Popular Discussions</h3><ul><li class=""><a href="http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2014/02/13/22719112-ban-on-same-sex-marriage-struck-down-in-virginia?lite">Ban on Same-Sex Marriage Struck Down in Virginia</a><span class="c-comment-label">10 comments</span></li><li class=""><a href="http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2014/02/13/22717831-will-the-south-give-on-gay-marriage-couples-crusade-for-rights?lite">Will the South Give on Gay Marriage?

Something about this and the comments bother me. I think we are missing that society as a whole has a problem being more about "self" and less about others. We are not very polite or considerate to each other anymore. Why do we find it hard to believe that previously good folks just snap? I don't know but what we all should take from this, if we take anything at all other than sad regret, is lets try and be more careful with each other. I don' think the man who died thought in his wildest dreams it would escalate to that. </p> <p>The gentleman who died was probably being a jerk, we don't know all that went on but I have to say that for it to be ok for a man to pull out a gun in a movie theater full of innocent bystanders, and fire over a texting disagreement is ludicrous. I'm sorry that he chose to do that but he has to pay the price for murder. </p></span></div><div class="c-comment-info"><ul class="c-comment-actions"><li id="j_vote_votebtn_120" style="display: list-item;" class="j-vote c-vote j_widget j_vote_votebtn"><button class="j-upvotes c-button c-icon c-upvotes c-disabled" title="Please login to vote" rel="twipsy" data-placement="above">0</button></li><li></li><li id="j_social_share_118" style="display: list-item;" class="j-share c-share j_widget j_social_share popover-button" rel="twipsy" title="Share this comment" data-placement="top"><a href="#" class="c-button">Share</a><a></a></li><!--<li class="j-share" rel="twipsy" title="Share this comment" data-placement="top">Share</li> --><li></li><li class="j-admin-cog c-admin-cog" style="display:none;"><a class="c-button c-cog">cog</a></li></ul></div></div><div style="display: block;" class="j-replies c-replies"><div style="display: none;" class="j-reply-expander-prev c-reply-expander-prev"></div><div class="j-reply-articles c-reply-articles"></div><div class="j-reply-expander-next c-reply-expander-next"></div></div><div class="c-reply"><form id="j_login_check_119" style="display: none;" class="j-reply-new c-reply-new j_widget j_login_check"><fieldset><legend>Your Reply:</legend><a class="j-author-avatar c-author-avatar" data-domain-name=""><img src="Retired%20Tampa%20cop%20denied%20bail%20in%20movie-theater%20slaying%20-%20U.S.%20News_files/msnbc_002.jpg" alt="comment author avatar" height="60" width="60"></a><p class="c-username"></p><div class="c-comment-new-textarea"><textarea id="te81673410" name="comment" placeholder="Enter your reply here" cols="60" rows="10"></textarea></div><div class="c-reply-actions"><input value="Publish" name="reply" class="c-button" type="submit"></div></fieldset></form></div></article><article id="th3919098-c81673443" style="display: none;" class="j-comment c-comment j-a-ruggercop"><header><h2><a name="81673443" href="http://ruggercop.newsvine.com/" rel="twipsy" title="Visit Author's Column" class="c-username" data-domain-name="ruggercop">Ruggercop</a> commented <time data-timestamp="Wed, 15 Jan 2014 12:57:23 GMT" data-original-title="Wed, 15 Jan 2014 12:57:23 GMT" class="j-comment-timestamp c-comment-timestamp" pubdate="Wed, 15 Jan 2014 12:57:23 GMT" data-local-time="Wednesday, January 15, 2014 7:57:23 AM">29 days ago</time><span></span></h2><ul class="c-comment-meta"><li class="j-comment-id c-comment-id"><a href="#th3919098-c81673443">#654</a></li><li style="display: none;" class="j-status c-flag"></li><li class="c-flag c-new">NEW</li></ul></header><div style="display: block;" class="j-author-info c-author-info"><a id="j_author_card_121" class="j-author-avatar c-author-avatar j_widget j_author_card popover-button" rel="twipsy" data-card-title="Ruggercop" title="Open Card" href="http://ruggercop.newsvine.com/" data-domain-name="ruggercop"><img src="Retired%20Tampa%20cop%20denied%20bail%20in%20movie-theater%20slaying%20-%20U.S.%20News_files/msnbc_002.jpg" data-src="http://nvcdn.nbcnews.com/_vine/images/av/60x60/msnbc.jpg" alt="comment author avatar" width="60"></a><div><ul class="c-author-about"></ul></div></div><div class="c-comment-text c-parent"><div style="display: block;" class="j-body j-quotable c-comment-body"><span style="display: inline;" class="j-text"><p>NBC has not apologized for their deliberate lie that he was texting his 3 year old daughter. He was texting a babysitter, and did so in the theater without excusing himself and continuing the conversation outside the theater if it was a life or death situation. Sorry he decided to go ballistic and attack someone who thought he was somewhat entitled to enjoy a movie without a pompous, "I can disrupt your life" idiot. I am SO sick and tired of people whose lives seem focused on screwing the rest of us for their pleasure because they think they should be able to impose their lives on the rest of us in public.

Race and culture are two different items. The first is something we're all born with and can't change. The second is something we acquire AFTER we're born.</p> <p>Before I quit going to the movies in the 1980s, I went to film showings in Chicago where we had a good number of black audience members. I don't recall any viewers -- black or white -- being disruptive or calling attention to themselves. Since I quit going, the stories I've heard about movie patrons' crude public behavior have been about white guys -- as in this tragic story -- and a few white females.</p> <p>Early home training is a big factor. Too many kids these days are growing up with no father in the home -- sometimes no mother, either. Don't know Reeves' and Oulsen's family backgrounds; but even with intact, financially well-off families, plenty of parents are falling down on the job. Oh, they can provide these kids with a lot of material things; but what about the moral guidance, the teaching of right from wrong, the consequences for wrongdoing? Is it any wonder their kids turn into roving animals?</p></span></div><div class="c-comment-info"><ul class="c-comment-actions"><li id="j_vote_votebtn_428" style="display: list-item;" class="j-vote

Then again, the powerful lobbyists of the NRA would quickly come to the rescue of one of their own get him out and give him a high paying job resulting in more guns in the hands of unfit people. Those that defend this BS are so twisted. You can't weed out all the nuts in our society. People are actors and know how to pass psych exams. We have prisoners full of plotters, scam artists and schemers. Limiting these weapons is the best way of stopping the out of control deaths in our gun ravished society. Deviating from gun control to focusing on mental health is lame. It's a combination but taking away or limiting the weapon, helps take away the possibility of the mentally ill getting them. I don't need a weapon and if it's my time, I'll go but a gun isn't the answer. No lame arguments because we've all heard them and they don't wash with those of us with an education. Our 2nd amendment rights from the time of Paul Revere isn't as important as our society and our children.</p></span></div><div class="c-comment-info"><ul class="c-comment-actions"><li id="j_vote_votebtn_245" style="display: list-item;" class="j-vote c-vote j_widget j_vote_votebtn"><button class="j-upvotes c-button c-icon c-upvotes c-disabled" title="Please login to vote" rel="twipsy" data-placement="above">1</button></li><li></li><li id="j_social_share_243" style="display: list-item;" class="j-share c-share j_widget j_social_share popover-button" rel="twipsy" title="Share this comment" data-placement="top"><a href="#" class="c-button">Share</a><a></a></li><!--<li class="j-share" rel="twipsy" title="Share this comment" data-placement="top">Share</li> --><li></li><li class="j-admin-cog c-admin-cog" style="display:none;"><a class="c-button c-cog">cog</a></li></ul></div></div><div style="display: block;" class="j-replies c-replies"><div style="display: none;" class="j-reply-expander-prev c-reply-expander-prev"></div><div class="j-reply-articles c-reply-articles"></div><div class="j-reply-expander-next c-reply-expander-next"></div></div><div class="c-reply"><form id="j_login_check_244" style="display: none;" class="j-reply-new c-reply-new j_widget j_login_check"><fieldset><legend>Your Reply:</legend><a class="j-author-avatar c-author-avatar" data-domain-name=""><img src="Retired%20Tampa%20cop%20denied%20bail%20in%20movie-theater%20slaying%20-%20U.S.%20News_files/msnbc_002.jpg" alt="comment author avatar" height="60" width="60"></a><p class="c-username"></p><div class="c-comment-new-textarea"><textarea id="te81675242" name="comment" placeholder="Enter your reply here" cols="60" rows="10"></textarea></div><div class="c-reply-actions"><input value="Publish" name="reply" class="c-button" type="submit"></div></fieldset></form></div></article><article id="th3919098-c81675252" style="display: block;" class="j-comment c-comment j-a-yousnoozeyoulose"><header><h2><a name="81675252" href="http://yousnoozeyoulose.newsvine.com/" rel="twipsy" title="Visit Author's Column" class="c-username" data-domain-name="yousnoozeyoulose">Yousnoozeyoulose</a> commented <time data-timestamp="Wed, 15 Jan 2014 14:38:02 GMT" data-original-title="Wed, 15 Jan 2014 14:38:02 GMT" class="j-comment-timestamp c-comment-timestamp" pubdate="Wed, 15 Jan 2014 14:38:02 GMT" data-local-time="Wednesday, January 15, 2014 9:38:02 AM">29 days ago</time><span></span></h2><ul class="c-comment-meta"><li class="j-comment-id c-comment-id"><a href="#th3919098-c81675252">#680</a></li><li style="display: none;" class="j-status c-flag"></li><li class="c-flag c-new">NEW</li></ul></header><div style="display: block;" class="j-author-info c-author-info"><a id="j_author_card_246" class="j-author-avatar c-author-avatar j_widget j_author_card popover-button" rel="twipsy" data-card-title="Yousnoozeyoulose" title="Open Card" href="http://yousnoozeyoulose.newsvine.com/" data-domain-name="yousnoozeyoulose"><img data-src="http://nvcdn.nbcnews.com/_vine/images/av/60x60/msnbc.jpg" alt="comment author avatar" width="60"></a><div><ul class="c-author-about"></ul></div></div><div class="c-comment-text c-parent"><div style="display: block;" class="j-body j-quotable c-comment-body"><span style="display: inline;" class="j-text"><p>I have been to Florida way back when, and it was nowhere near as filled with cranky old white men with concealed carry weapons as it is now. I have crossed it off my vacation list for good. The whole state is a mental institute filled to the brim with everyone from snotty kids to demented ex-cop coots packing heat, and more than willing to use it. All you need to do is look at this nasty old coot's face to see he is a cranky old man with a significant degree of dementia. He needs to be put in a state slammer in general population, and let nature take its course with him. </p> <p>I once had a co-worker who lived next door to a retired cop, and he said that living next to an ex-cop is one of the worst things that can happen to you, with the cop constantly doing things like parking across your driveway and defying you to do something about it, or letting his dog crap on your lawn, and letting you know that he'd have no problem shooting you. His fellow cop buddies would never, ever, in a million years act on a legitimate complaint against him, even if he murdered you.</p></span></div><div class="c-comment-info"><ul class="c-comment-actions"><li id="j_vote_votebtn_250" style="display: list-item;" class="j-vote c-vote j_widget j_vote_votebtn"><button class="j-upvotes c-button c-icon c-upvotes c-disabled" title="Please login to vote" rel="twipsy" data-placement="above">0</button></li><li></li><li id="j_social_share_248" style="display: list-item;" class="j-share c-share j_widget j_social_share popover-button" rel="twipsy" title="Share this comment" data-placement="top"><a href="#" class="c-button">Share</a><a></a></li><!--<li class="j-share" rel="twipsy" title="Share this comment" data-placement="top">Share</li> --><li></li><li class="j-admin-cog c-admin-cog" style="display:none;"><a class="c-button c-cog">cog</a></li></ul></div></div><div style="display: block;" class="j-replies c-replies"><div style="display: none;" class="j-reply-expander-prev c-reply-expander-prev"></div><div class="j-reply-articles c-reply-articles"></div><div class="j-reply-expander-next c-reply-expander-next"></div></div><div class="c-reply"><form id="j_login_check_249" style="display: none;" class="j-reply-new c-reply-new j_widget j_login_check"><fieldset><legend>Your Reply:</legend><a class="j-author-avatar c-author-avatar" data-domain-name=""><img src="Retired%20Tampa%20cop%20denied%20bail%20in%20movie-theater%20slaying%20-%20U.S.%20News_files/msnbc_002.jpg" alt="comment author avatar" height="60" width="60"></a><p class="c-username"></p><div class="c-comment-new-textarea"><textarea id="te81675252" name="comment" placeholder="Enter your reply here" cols="60" rows="10"></textarea></div><div class="c-reply-actions"><input value="Publish" name="reply" class="c-button" type="submit"></div></fieldset></form></div></article><article id="th3919098-c81675270" style="display: block;" class="j-comment c-comment j-a-cliff-3"><header><h2><a name="81675270" href="http://cliff-3.newsvine.com/" rel="twipsy" title="Visit Author's Column" class="c-username" data-domain-name="cliff-3">Kal El Karpov</a> commented <time data-timestamp="Wed, 15 Jan 2014 14:38:44 GMT" data-original-title="Wed, 15 Jan 2014 14:38:44 GMT" class="j-comment-timestamp c-comment-timestamp" pubdate="Wed, 15 Jan 2014 14:38:44 GMT" data-local-time="Wednesday, January 15, 2014 9:38:44 AM">29 days ago</time><span></span></h2><ul class="c-comment-meta"><li class="j-comment-id c-comment-id"><a href="#th3919098-c81675270">#681</a></li><li style="display: none;" class="j-status c-flag"></li><li class="c-flag c-new">NEW</li></ul></header><div style="display: block;" class="j-author-info c-author-info"><a id="j_author_card_251" class="j-author-avatar c-author-avatar j_widget j_author_card popover-button" rel="twipsy" data-card-title="Kal El Karpov" title="Open Card" href="http://cliff-3.newsvine.com/" data-domain-name="cliff-3"><img data-src="http://nvcdn.nbcnews.com/_vine/images/av/60x60/msnbc.jpg" alt="comment author avatar" width="60"></a><div><ul class="c-author-about"></ul></div></div><div class="c-comment-text c-parent"><div style="display: block;" class="j-body j-quotable c-comment-body"><span style="display: inline;" class="j-text"><p>And if another guy with a gun was there, he could have shot the ex-cop lunatic.

Really! And, popcorn is all that it can take for a good liar? We all have gone crazy. People do not understand that things like this do not stop @ the court house. Look at the Zimmerman case if you will. Sucher punch? Well, why wasn't he knocked out, especially since he supposed to had been Mr. Softy? That so-called game came out of that I truly believe. It is to tell us something, but we are not listening. Of course not.

If he was a cop for so long he should have known to let the manager, which he already made a complaint too, handle the situation. As a law enforcement officer I believe his actions were reckless and endangered the public. LEO 101 any round fire down range YOU are responsible. You can not poke the dog and not expect to get bit!!

Someone yells at me and throws a bag of popcorn on me, AND I CAN SHOOT THEM! Sounds silly, doesn't it...? As silly as the rash of the posters on here rushing to this retired cop's defense. </p> <p>No, we don't have all the information, but, I'm sure the man who was shot didn't "assault" the retired cop, who by the way still looks pretty buff in his jail photo, seriously enough to warrant a point-blank shot in the chest. </p> <p>Besides, can't you see a bag of fluffy, light in weight, popcorn coming at you at, let's say a distance of about a yard... considering the average distance from the back of one seat to the other in front in an average movie theater. </p> <p>So, looking at it from that perspective, either Reeves had his weapon out, which he may have retrieved from his vehicle when he left the theater and returned, and instantly shot the popcorn thrower, or he spent the several seconds in reaction to having the "deadly" popcorn thrown on him, pulled out his weapon and shot the man, while the man's wife was pulling him away! Either way, it seems Reeves was either ready to shoot, or decided to shoot.</p> <p>However, I'm sure Mr. Reeves' smart, enterprising, defense attorneys will create a web of obfuscation that will fit comfortably, and win the praise of the ultra-conservatives, within the "Sunshine State's" Stand Your Ground Law," as was the case with Zimmerman.

Hm... here's my prediction—the retired cop is acquitted, because it's Florida after all, but it spells the death of the cockeyed SYG law, and a little girl grows up fatherless, a woman is widowed, because we have a trigger-happy, instant-justice culture, that's slowly slipping into increasing sociopathy disguised as defending freedom. </p></span></div><div class="c-comment-info"><ul class="c-comment-actions"><li id="j_vote_votebtn_330" style="display: list-item;" class="j-vote c-vote j_widget j_vote_votebtn"><button class="j-upvotes c-button c-icon c-upvotes c-disabled" title="Please login to vote" rel="twipsy" data-placement="above">1</button></li><li></li><li id="j_social_share_328" style="display: list-item;" class="j-share c-share j_widget j_social_share popover-button" rel="twipsy" title="Share this comment" data-placement="top"><a href="#" class="c-button">Share</a><a></a></li><!--<li class="j-share" rel="twipsy" title="Share this comment" data-placement="top">Share</li> --><li></li><li class="j-admin-cog c-admin-cog" style="display:none;"><a class="c-button c-cog">cog</a></li></ul></div></div><div style="display: block;" class="j-replies c-replies"><div style="display: none;" class="j-reply-expander-prev c-reply-expander-prev"></div><div class="j-reply-articles c-reply-articles"></div><div class="j-reply-expander-next c-reply-expander-next"></div></div><div class="c-reply"><form id="j_login_check_329" style="display: none;" class="j-reply-new c-reply-new j_widget j_login_check"><fieldset><legend>Your Reply:</legend><a class="j-author-avatar c-author-avatar" data-domain-name=""><img src="Retired%20Tampa%20cop%20denied%20bail%20in%20movie-theater%20slaying%20-%20U.S.%20News_files/msnbc_002.jpg" alt="comment author avatar" height="60" width="60"></a><p class="c-username"></p><div class="c-comment-new-textarea"><textarea id="te81685142" name="comment" placeholder="Enter your reply here" cols="60" rows="10"></textarea></div><div class="c-reply-actions"><input value="Publish" name="reply" class="c-button" type="submit"></div></fieldset></form></div></article><article id="th3919098-c81685768" style="display: block;" class="j-comment c-comment j-a-sixfinga2244601"><header><h2><a name="81685768" href="http://sixfinga2244601.newsvine.com/" rel="twipsy" title="Visit Author's Column" class="c-username" data-domain-name="sixfinga2244601">sixfinga-2244601</a> commented <time data-timestamp="Wed, 15 Jan 2014 20:41:14 GMT" data-original-title="Wed, 15 Jan 2014 20:41:14 GMT" class="j-comment-timestamp c-comment-timestamp" pubdate="Wed, 15 Jan 2014 20:41:14 GMT" data-local-time="Wednesday, January 15, 2014 3:41:14 PM">29 days ago</time><span></span></h2><ul class="c-comment-meta"><li class="j-comment-id c-comment-id"><a href="#th3919098-c81685768">#698</a></li><li style="display: none;" class="j-status c-flag"></li><li class="c-flag c-new">NEW</li></ul></header><div style="display: block;" class="j-author-info c-author-info"><a id="j_author_card_331" class="j-author-avatar c-author-avatar j_widget j_author_card popover-button" rel="twipsy" data-card-title="sixfinga-2244601" title="Open Card" href="http://sixfinga2244601.newsvine.com/" data-domain-name="sixfinga2244601"><img data-src="http://nvcdn.nbcnews.com/_vine/images/av/60x60/msnbc.jpg" alt="comment author avatar" width="60"></a><div><ul class="c-author-about"></ul></div></div><div class="c-comment-text c-parent"><div style="display: block;" class="j-body j-quotable c-comment-body"><span style="display: inline;" class="j-text"><p>If the gunman had chosen a black guy, he may have gotten away with it but this guy being white means the court will likely stick to the facts.

Now, the courts in Florida will decide whether or not he acted in self defense. Based on the predjudgment, and lack of restraint in judgement being displayed on on here, being tried by a jury of his peers seems to be a less than ideal proposition.</p> <p>It's a shame a wife and daughter have to live without their husband and father. Two families are ruined, in fact. This is a cautionary tale.</p> <p>The other day at a store, I had a gentleman (I use that term loosely) stick his middle finger within an inch of my face because I had an item he wanted. I chose to stick up for myself and not be pushed over. I didn't say anything offensive or abusive, I simply let him know that it was my item, not his. Ultimately, the managers threatened to call the police so he left in a rage. Physically, he could have broken me in two. His ignorance failed to overlook the possibility that I might be carrying a weapon, which I was. I took his verbal abuse and finger waiving in my face in order to avoid a confrontation, but I would have defended myself in the event of a physical attack.</p></span></div><div class="c-comment-info"><span class="j-reply-count c-reply-count"><strong><span class="j-rc">1</span></strong> reply. </span><ul class="c-comment-actions"><li id="j_vote_votebtn_345" style="display: list-item;" class="j-vote c-vote j_widget j_vote_votebtn"><button class="j-upvotes c-button c-icon c-upvotes c-disabled" title="Please login to vote" rel="twipsy" data-placement="above">0</button></li><li></li><li id="j_social_share_343" style="display: list-item;" class="j-share c-share j_widget j_social_share popover-button" rel="twipsy" title="Share this comment" data-placement="top"><a href="#" class="c-button">Share</a><a></a></li><!--<li class="j-share" rel="twipsy" title="Share this comment" data-placement="top">Share</li> --><li></li><li class="j-admin-cog c-admin-cog" style="display:none;"><a class="c-button c-cog">cog</a></li></ul></div></div><div style="display: block;" class="j-replies c-replies"><div style="display: none;" class="j-reply-expander-prev c-reply-expander-prev"></div><div style="display: block;" class="j-reply-articles c-reply-articles"><article id="th3919098-c81706249" style="display: block;" class="j-reply c-comment c-reply j-a-allentown321"><header><h2><a name="81706249" href="http://allentown321.newsvine.com/" rel="twipsy" title="Visit Author's Column" class="c-username" data-domain-name="allentown321">Allen L.

think that woulda stopped him? Or criminals? Lol You're kidding yourself. If MORE people, honest law abiding ones, conceal carried, deaths like this would drop. It's proven. Especially when someone's on a rampage type killing. Might not help the first victim, but could definately cut down on others. People don't seem to get the fact that criminals will get them anyway.

Both is immature. I can't believe these people are saying he's so even tempered and honorable, no danger to the community. HE JUST MURDERED SOMEONE IN A THEATER FOR TEXTING! Id say he's a DEFINTE danger. He's got mental problems. Needs help ( and jail time). Damn people, even his own wife said what he did wasn't needed.
