I can imagine some self-important a-hole confronting me while I was texting my granddaughter DURING THE PREVIEWS, and I would have probably given him a look, or even told him to mind his own business, making me a potential victim. How do you, or any of us know, that there was not a serious reason for this guy to text his 3 YO daughter and/or her sitter DURING THE STINKING PREVIEWS. I am beyond astounded that any thinking human being can rationalize that this was in any way a justifiable or reasonable act.
I agree I can not imagine any scenario where it would be appropriate to kill someone for throwing popcorn,texting or being a jerk.
