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

91. Your example of rude kids in the theater were.

And your entire thesis is this person died because he was not as polite to his elders as 'back in your day'.

(Which, btw, is false. You were rude as a kid. But you don't remember that way because you were in your own world. Like all kids are.)

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.

Must bow down to the elders!!!!!!!!

Sarcasm aside, you are ignoring the problem where people have been talking during the previews for generations. The fact that this "talking" now includes an electronic device does not change this.

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

Actually, you are.

You are attempting to shift the blame onto the victim. Which is why you keep calling the victim a bully. You are trying to make this entire incident his fault. If only he had bowed and desperately apologized to the 71-year-old, then he wouldn't have been shot.

What he actually did is no different than people talking during the ads and previews back before cell phones existed. And that happened all the time. Because it's never been considered rude, since they are just advertisements. The 71-year-old had an irrational hatred for "the kids today with their texting at the movies" and decided he had enough. That does not mean the victim was a bully.
