Default We drove by this theater on US I-75 last week.

Ex-cop challenged woman over texting in SAME movie theater just three weeks ago it emerges as lawyer claims retired cop had 'every right to defend himself and felt threatened' after victim threw popcorn in heated row | Mail Online


My brother and my sister-in-law and I drove by this Cobb Theater which is on the west side of I-75 near Wesley Chapel. http://www.groveshopping.com/directions/

I cannot think up any means of preventing such stupidity as the actions of this shooter as well as the hotheadedness of the popcorn thrower. Throwing the book at the shooter probably will not prevent future outbreaks like this whether or not a gun is involved.

A few weeks ago I parked my golf cart right next to another golf cart at a local store in a parking space. I went into the store to buy some things. After I came out, the driver of a SUV which had been parked to my left was furious with me for parking the golf cart a view inches further to the parking space line than I needed to be.

He beeped his horn numerous times, yelled at me, drove away and then stopped and glared at me from his SUV. Then he turned around and came back in the other direction.

I just froze in the golf cart not wanting to provoke the man any more. He did have his wife with him whom I assume had a hard time of getting into the passenger side.

Still to get red with rage at me for my parking a few inches too close.

This was a senior as well like the person at the Cobb movie theater.

Hope this event of mine and the Cobb theater shooting are lessons that we can all learn from in that we should just try to calm down and reflect a bit before anger takes over our better judgments.
