The latest, unbelievable (to me) incidence in the news was that a man was shot in a movie theater for texting. I can understand the anger at someone texting during a movie, as usually there are sounds involved which are distracting to others, and sometime an annoying light coming from a source other than the movie screen.
The anger is to be expected...BUT the man was then shot, and killed, by a retired former police officer! What was he thinking? The news story said he feared for his life after the shooting victim threw popcorn on him and "lunged (?)" at him. So he drew his gun! He must have been thinking he was in imminent danger? The trial will comb through the facts, and the judge (and/or jury) will have the final decision as to whether his actions were justified. Let them try to figure out what he was thinking.
Waiting for the other shoe to drop...on Day 234!
