I really wonder why anyone would carry a pistol to the movies. How paranoid?

Two points: This theater chain asks that you not text during the movie. In this case, the movie had not started yet and the victim was texting during the previews.

Also, it was reported on the news tonight that Mr Reeves had a similar altercation with a woman last month over her texting at the same theater. Of course, that one didn't end with a shooting, but the woman reported that Mr Reeves followed her to the ladies room, harrassing her over her texting.

It might seem to a casual observer, that he was vowing to put an end to texting at this theater, one way or another.
