I dont care that this guy was a cop. He's a murderous asshole who deserves death. Of course being a white old retired cop the reaction to this guy is a little different than most random shootings "He needs help" "He probably has PTSD" Dad's texting to daughter sparks argument, fatal shooting in movie theater By Steve Almasy, CNN updated 6:20 PM EST, Mon January 13, 2014 (CNN) -- It started with a father sending text messages to his daughter during the previews of a movie. It ended with the 43-year-old man shot dead amid the theater seats, and a 71-year-old retired police officer in custody. The shooting Monday during a 1:20 p.m. showing of "Lone Survivor" at a Wesley Chapel, Florida, movie theater escalated from an objection to cell phone use, to a series of arguments, to the sudden and deadly shooting, according to police and witnesses. As a male moviegoer texted, the man seated behind him objected, and asked the texter to put his phone away. Man killed in theater over texting Police: Moviegoer killed for texting They argued several times, according to police and witnesses, and the man who was texting watched as the other man walked out of the theater. Curtis Reeves, a retired police officer, apparently went seeking a theater employee to complain about the texting, police said. Two seats away Charles Cummings and his son watched the squabbling. When Reeves returned, he was without a manager. "He came back very irritated," Cummings said. The man who had been texting, Chad Oulson, got up and turned to Reeves to ask him if he had gone to tell on him for his texting. Oulson reportedly said, in effect: I was just sending a message to my young daughter. Voices were raised. Popcorn was thrown. And then came something unimaginable -- except maybe in a movie. A gun shot. Oulson was fatally wounded. His wife was hit, too, through the hand as she raised her hand in front of her husband as the shooter drew a handgun. Oulson staggered toward the Cummings and fell on them, Charles Cummings said. The shooter sat down and put the gun in his lap. It happened that an off-duty deputy sheriff from Sumter County was among the 25 people theater at the Grove 16 complex. He rushed to the scene to make sure no more shots were fired and the shooter would stay put. It also happened that there were two nurses there and one came to Oulson's side and performed CPR until paramedics arrived. Oulson later died. His wife, Nicole, suffered a non-life threatening wound to her hand. "I can't believe people would bring a pistol to a movie," said Cummings, a Vietnam veteran who had celebrating his birthday by going to a movie with his son. Reeves was sitting with his wife, Pasco County Sherriff Chris Nocco said. CNN affiliate Bay News 9 reported that Reeves was arrested on a charge of second-degree homicide. It could not be determined Monday night whether he had retained an attorney. Reeves retired in 1993 as a captain with the police department in nearby Tampa. He was also director of security at Busch Gardens until 2005, the station reported. Bay News 9 spoke to a neighbor of Oulson's who said the dead man was a very nice guy who he couldn't envision being involved in an incident like this. "Always smiling. I've never seen him angry," Bill Costas said. If I needed help with something he was always there. "Totally different guy. Like I said, it just doesn't make sense to me. Not from what I know of him." The shooting happened at about 1:30 p.m. inside one of the theaters at the Grove 16 complex, sheriff's spokeswoman Melanie Snow said. "This was an isolated altercation between two guests that escalated unexpectedly. The safety, security and comfort of our guests and team members are always our top priorities, and we are truly heartbroken by this incident," Cobb Theatres, which operates the Grove complex, said in a written statement. On the theaters' website is a list of prohibited items and actions. Among them: No cell phone use, including texting, in the theater auditorium. And no weapons allowed.

You're in the dark, watching a screen in front of you and some asshole has got his phone, bright as a flashlight, texting to the side of you. |

Listening to little Danny being disturbed by this is classic Danny. How could this effect him! 'What if the person was texting their baby sister for some last second instructions!" As if it matters what was being texted before he was shot! so the text was valid, thus making the shooting wrong! "He was former director of security at Busch gardens" He repeated this at least 3 different times, as if Busch Gardens had something to do with it, or they should now be checked for their moral compass. Every issue that arises now goes back to how it mike effect Dan and his family. |

I think any sane person can agree that shooting a person for texting is crazy. But if this results in no one ever pulling out a phone in the theater, I would say the loss of life was not in vain. |

Unless he's there to watch a Tyler Perry movie, in which case I'd recommend bombing the entire place. |

I'm actually going to the movies later today. Definitely won't take my gun. Though my biggest decision is which color shower shoes to wear. |

This would be a true silver lining.Not as bad as when people instagram parts of the movie though. I still regret not telling security and having the person arrested for it. |

Maybe he didn't like the buttered popcorn being thrown at him and just wanted regular popcorn. |
