Texting Triggers Fatal Movie Theater Shooting

Jan. 13, 2014







An argument between two couples over text messaging inside of a Florida

movie theater turned deadly today that left one man dead and a woman

wounded.



Police said that two couples began arguing before a showing of "Lone

Survivor" over one couple's text messaging.



A male suspect, whose identity has not yet been released, became angry

and took out a gun and shot the other couple, according to the Pasco

County Sheriff's office.



"The victim was on his cellphone, he was texting. We believe he was

making some kind of noise. This noise led to an altercation," Sheriff

Chris Nocco said, according to ABC News affiliate WFTS. "During that

altercation, the suspect decided to pull out a .380 and he shoots the

victim."



The sheriff's office said in a statement that an unnamed "good

Samaritan" helped detain the suspect until police arrived.



The two victims were airlifted to Tampa General Hospital, where the man

was pronounced dead and the woman is being treated for non-life

threatening injuries, according to police.



The shooting occurred around 1:30 p.m. today at the Cobb Grove 16

Theater in Wesley Chapel, Fla., north of Tampa.



Police noted that the shooter and victims did not appear to know one

another.

The shooting suspect is in police custody.

I am astonished that a single shooting by a white guy draws so much attention, but the dozens of shootings in Chicago or Detroit draw none.

Obviously, he was standing his ground.

Well, that didn't take long. So much for the new, improved rec.boats.



What? It wasn't political, nor was it insulting to any poster here. It
was...an example of evolution in action.

The shooter apparently felt threatened by the guy who was texting.
Perfectly understandable. The texter should have known better.

There was another example of evolution in Chicago. Some moron dropped
his cell in the Chicago river and apparently went in after it, and he
and a girlfriend, at least, drowned.

America is drowning in its own stupidity.


Another attack on Americans? Why?

Hope you're having a spectacular day!


It's clear that he'd rather be somewhere else, but his wife's job
dictates that she reports to her desk in Washington DC on a daily basis.


Actually, FlaJim, I'm perfectly happy living in the United States. I'd
be perfectly happy living in any of a handful of other countries, too.

I find it amusing you are so obsessed with my wife. You bring her up
frequently. She *is* a smart, well-educated woman of significant
accomplishment.

Do you have a wife? If you do, I can't recall an occasion here in which
you discussed her or any of her accomplishments. What does she do or
what did she do during her career? How about children? Do you have
children? If so, what do they do for a living?

You seem awfully secretive about your life and your family, but awfully
eager to discuss the families of others.

Why is that?
There was a time you bragged about her a dozen or more times a day.
YOU provided the opportunity for others to irritate you by using
information you provide. Live with it, asshole. My family is none of
your business.

Obviously, he was standing his ground.

It's no irritation to me that you are so impressed with my wife's
accomplishments you see fit to keep bringing them up. It is a source of
amusement, however, that you are so secretive about your family and so
eager to discuss the families of others.

So, do you have a wife? What does she do or what did she do during her
career? How about children? Do you have children? If so, what do they do
for a living?

No one is asking for *personal* information, FlaJim, such as names,
addresses, et cetera. One of my adult children works as a college
professor and another works as a researcher at the LC.

Isn't this pleasant? I have a nice, conversation tone and you respond by
engaging in personal name-calling.

John is merely getting you to raise your hackles. Or in other words,

Oh, well, apparently John needs better bait. I hope he's not upset about
his inabilities as a fisherman. :) Oh, and neither you, nor Herring, nor

decently.

How nice for her. What did she do for a living before she retired? What

If memory serves, John, and it might not, I think you mentioned several

How many times over these many years has anyone here said anything nasty

Yabut, the sharing or not sharing of any information is the right and up
to the poster. Frankly, I try to be a little careful about how much
info I share in a newsgroup considering the number of people who can see
it who probably never post to rec.boats. Think about it. Google groups
and the numerous web based forums that copy and republish "rec.boats"
makes the total audience fairly large and world wide.

out of their way to attempt to insult the spouses or children of other
posters, and yet are so secretive about their own spouses or children?

How many times over these many years has anyone here said anything nasty
about your spouse? I don't recall any such incidents. *I* in fact have
over the years mentioned any number of times how nice and gracious your
wife was. Were you offended by that?


Yabut, the sharing or not sharing of any information is the right and up
to the poster. Frankly, I try to be a little careful about how much
info I share in a newsgroup considering the number of people who can see
it who probably never post to rec.boats. Think about it. Google groups
and the numerous web based forums that copy and republish "rec.boats"
makes the total audience fairly large and world wide.



That's fine, but if one is so reluctant to share one's own information,
it might seem that one shouldn't be so eager to share in a disparaging
way information about someone else's spouse or children. But, of course,
that only applies to those with a bit of self-control. :)

Obviously, he was standing his ground.

I find it amusing you are so obsessed with my wife. You bring her up
frequently. She *is* a smart, well-educated woman of significant
accomplishment.

Do you have a wife? If you do, I can't recall an occasion here in which
you discussed her or any of her accomplishments. What does she do or
what did she do during her career? How about children? Do you have
children? If so, what do they do for a living?

You seem awfully secretive about your life and your family, but awfully
eager to discuss the families of others.

Why is that?


There was a time you bragged about her a dozen or more times a day.
YOU provided the opportunity for others to irritate you by using
information you provide. Live with it, asshole. My family is none of
your business.


It's no irritation to me that you are so impressed with my wife's
accomplishments you see fit to keep bringing them up. It is a source of
amusement, however, that you are so secretive about your family and so
eager to discuss the families of others.

So, do you have a wife? What does she do or what did she do during her
career? How about children? Do you have children? If so, what do they do
for a living?

No one is asking for *personal* information,

So you do not consider the information about a wife, her employment, children, their employment to
be personal information?

If memory serves, John, and it might not, I think you mentioned several
times that your wife was a federal employee, and that you have a son or
son in law in the military.

How *personal* is that?

Personal enough that you should not ask for the information and say you're not asking for anything
personal.

Do you find it revealing and ironic that there are posters here who go
out of their way to attempt to insult the spouses or children of other
posters, and yet are so secretive about their own spouses or children?

Faulty logic. If I tell you my son is drinking up all the beer in the house, and you say something
about his drinking habits, then you've opened the door. There is no requirement that anyone provide
personal information to you. I've provided personal information about my employment and been called
a rapist and baby killer - by you.

How many times over these many years has anyone here said anything nasty
about your spouse? I don't recall any such incidents.

Your recollection is poor.

*I* in fact have

I don't think your "revelation" that your wife works or worked for the
government is particularly personal, or that your son in law is in the
military is particularly personal.

You brought up comments I've made about you, based upon your military
career. You've made plenty of disparaging remarks about other posters
here, including remarks about me.

Neither of those are the same as making disparaging remarks about a
poster's spouse or children who do not post here. Other than my hope
that he returns safe, I have no comment to make about your son in law
serving in one of those overseas hellholes.

I have nothing but admiration for the spouses of many posters here. :)

Texting Triggers Fatal Movie Theater Shooting

Jan. 13, 2014







An argument between two couples over text messaging inside of a Florida

movie theater turned deadly today that left one man dead and a woman

wounded.



Police said that two couples began arguing before a showing of "Lone

Survivor" over one couple's text messaging.



A male suspect, whose identity has not yet been released, became angry

and took out a gun and shot the other couple, according to the Pasco

County Sheriff's office.



"The victim was on his cellphone, he was texting. We believe he was

making some kind of noise. This noise led to an altercation," Sheriff

Chris Nocco said, according to ABC News affiliate WFTS. "During that

altercation, the suspect decided to pull out a .380 and he shoots the

victim."



The sheriff's office said in a statement that an unnamed "good

Samaritan" helped detain the suspect until police arrived.



The two victims were airlifted to Tampa General Hospital, where the man

was pronounced dead and the woman is being treated for non-life

threatening injuries, according to police.



The shooting occurred around 1:30 p.m. today at the Cobb Grove 16

Theater in Wesley Chapel, Fla., north of Tampa.



Police noted that the shooter and victims did not appear to know one

another.





http://tinyurl.com/obwfh6b

The shooting suspect is in police custody.





Well, that didn't take long. So much for the new, improved rec.boats.





All my restraint didn't help a bit, did it?

Do we have to give him yet another chance?

IGNORE the stund **** !!

Obviously, he was standing his ground.

Perhaps you should take charge and publish a list of what topics are

allowed here and what topics are not. I thought there was general

agreement to avoid personal name-calling here, and to avoid initiating

partisan political discussions. The post I put up is neither personal

nor partisan political.



It's fine with me if you want this newsgroup to avoid discussions about

firearms and other apparently volatile subjects.

I find it amusing you are so obsessed with my wife. You bring her up
frequently. She *is* a smart, well-educated woman of significant
accomplishment.

Do you have a wife? If you do, I can't recall an occasion here in
which
you discussed her or any of her accomplishments. What does she do or
what did she do during her career? How about children? Do you have
children? If so, what do they do for a living?

You seem awfully secretive about your life and your family, but
awfully
eager to discuss the families of others.

Why is that?


There was a time you bragged about her a dozen or more times a day.
YOU provided the opportunity for others to irritate you by using
information you provide. Live with it, asshole. My family is none of
your business.


It's no irritation to me that you are so impressed with my wife's
accomplishments you see fit to keep bringing them up. It is a
source of
amusement, however, that you are so secretive about your family and so
eager to discuss the families of others.

So, do you have a wife? What does she do or what did she do during her
career? How about children? Do you have children? If so, what do
they do
for a living?

No one is asking for *personal* information,

So you do not consider the information about a wife, her employment,
children, their employment to
be personal information?

Hope you're having a spectacular day!


If memory serves, John, and it might not, I think you mentioned several
times that your wife was a federal employee, and that you have a son or
son in law in the military.

How *personal* is that?

Do you find it revealing and ironic that there are posters here who go
out of their way to attempt to insult the spouses or children of other
posters, and yet are so secretive about their own spouses or children?

How many times over these many years has anyone here said anything nasty
about your spouse? I don't recall any such incidents. *I* in fact have
over the years mentioned any number of times how nice and gracious your
wife was. Were you offended by that?


Yabut, the sharing or not sharing of any information is the right and up
to the poster. Frankly, I try to be a little careful about how much
info I share in a newsgroup considering the number of people who can see
it who probably never post to rec.boats. Think about it. Google groups
and the numerous web based forums that copy and republish "rec.boats"
makes the total audience fairly large and world wide.



That's fine, but if one is so reluctant to share one's own information,
it might seem that one shouldn't be so eager to share in a disparaging
way information about someone else's spouse or children. But, of course,
that only applies to those with a bit of self-control. :)

You didn't mention having children with wife #3. Cmon Krausie, you're
holding out on us.

Obviously, he was standing his ground.

Personal enough that you should not ask for the information and say
you're not asking for anything
personal.

Faulty logic. If I tell you my son is drinking up all the beer in the
house, and you say something
about his drinking habits, then you've opened the door. There is no
requirement that anyone provide
personal information to you. I've provided personal information about
my employment and been called
a rapist and baby killer - by you.

How many times over these many years has anyone here said anything nasty

Your recollection is poor.

I don't think your "revelation" that your wife works or worked for the
government is particularly personal, or that your son in law is in the
military is particularly personal.

You brought up comments I've made about you, based upon your military
career. You've made plenty of disparaging remarks about other posters
here, including remarks about me.

Neither of those are the same as making disparaging remarks about a
poster's spouse or children who do not post here. Other than my hope
that he returns safe, I have no comment to make about your son in law
serving in one of those overseas hellholes.

I have nothing but admiration for the spouses of many posters here. :)

It's about time you bristled at some of the comments that have been
made. I was beginning to think you have no spine.

Obviously, he was standing his ground.

professor and another works as a researcher at the LC.

Isn't this pleasant? I have a nice, conversation tone and you

engaging in personal name-calling.




My wife is retired. There. Happy now.


How nice for her. What did she do for a living before she retired? What
do your children, if you have any, do? I'm not asking for their names or
the names of their employers. Why so secretive?

None of your business, Asshole.


Ahh, you're back to the name-calling. Again.

I've called you an asshole several times in the last day or two. Haven't
you been paying attention?

Obviously, he was standing his ground.

He's regretting that he leaked enough personal information for us to

get even. What a Dilbert.


And once again, you'd be wrong.
How's that name calling working out for you?
Not name calling is working out well for me.

I'm amazed at how long you've kept the gutter talk down. Keep up the
good work. You need to work on the insulting though. That's your weak side.

Obviously, he was standing his ground.

Not much. I mentioned the other day I was releasing almost everyone from
my DNR folder. I didn't pay much attention to your name-calling when you
were in that folder, I see you haven't changed your stripes in name
calling, and you'll probably soon be back in the DNR folder, keeping
Slammer company.

You're in charge of how you behave here. If you want to be a
name-calling insulter, no one will stop you...and of course it'll be fun
when you once again whine about the name-calling in here.

Have a nice day.
