Funny, but could throwing popcorn at someone be constituted as assault? I know spitting on someone is.
The guy is pretty old.... maybe he thought the popcorn was some sort of chemical weapon? Fucking terrorists....
Judge Lynn Tepper said she found the evidence from Monday's shooting "significant" enough to warrant no bond on the second-degree murder charge. A bond hearing will be scheduled in the coming days. Reeves faces life in prison if convicted. He only spoke once during his court appearance, to say "yes, ma'am" to the judge when she asked him if he could afford to hire his own attorney. Reeves, who appeared in court via a video link from the jail, appeared to be wearing a bullet proof vest without a shirt on underneath. Reeves' attorney, Richard Escobar, argued that his client should be released because of his deep ties to the community. Escobar said that he found the Sheriff's Office probable cause document to be "quite weak" and that Reeves was defending himself from Oulson. "The alleged victim attacked him," Escobar said, adding that Oulson threw something, possibly popcorn, at Reeves. "At that point in time he has every right to defend himself." Judge Tepper said that throwing "an unknown object does not equal taking out a gun" and shooting someone.

You heard it here first... throwing popcorn at someone gives them the right to kill you. Fucking brilliant.
You joke, but the defendant did describe it as an unidentified object being thrown at him (which everyone else describes as closely resembling popcorn), so perhaps he's just not familiar with these trendy new snacks.
That lawyer better change his strategy because he has no chance in hell of convincing a judge and jury that his defendant was justified in shooting someone because they threw popcorn at him.
Jackass douchbag texts in theater, knowing his act is rude and also a violation of the contract he agreed to by buying a ticket. It understandably annoys the man seated behind him who brought his wife to enjoy the movie with him. When you're 72, each moment is prescious. He asks the rude guy to hang up or go to the lobby to text. Here is the point where any decent human being would apologize and hang up. This dick says fuck off to the seniors and continues being an ass. His wife is apparently no better than he. So the senior takes the proper next step and reports the violator to theater personnel. Their liability now begins. Most theaters would immediately confront the texter and shut him down or boot him out. This theater refused to do anything, and so it escalated. I assume someone will be fired. The senior returns to his seat where the dickhead immediately mocks and berates him for "tattling". The dickhead stands up, a backlit shadow to the senior, and at this point anyone would bd expecting a physical attack. As the shadow looms over him, the senior's thoughts turn to his wife's safety, and something hits his face and he draws and fires. As much as I rail about bad cops and abusive cops, Chad Oulson made his own bed. He was an asshole, insisted on continuing to be an asshole despite being given many opportunities to stop being an asshole, and died a senseless death like most assholes do. Sad that he fucked up so many lives through his arrogance and bullying.
This reminds me of the time I shot a guy at the opera for smiling. Everyone knows you don't smile during the emotional scenes. I had forgotten about that.
