Prosecutors: This wasn't the first blow-up for Florida theater shooter Curtis Reeves

[magical thyme]

82. the man who was shot was not a "kid today"

He was 40ish and a father. I did not, nor have I ever, said he should have been shot. I do believe he should have known better. He behaved like a bully. He met an armed bully. The inevitable resulted.

He could have told the old man he'll be finished texting before the movie starts. He could have apologized for disturbing the old man and finished his texting outside the theater and still returned in time to watch the movie.

Instead, he refused to give up his right to text whenever and whereever no matter what. Well, he got no matter what.

I'm not saying the old man was right. I'm not saying the old man was justified. I'm not saying the old man shouldn't be in jail.

I am saying the young man was stupid, disrespectful, rude and bullying in his behavior. Act like a bully, and sooner or later you will meet up with a bigger bully, or a bully with a gang, or, as in this case, a bully with a gun.
