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.

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.

Gosh, I didn't know the Florida movie shooter was white. Why is that
relevant?

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.

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,
bait you. You are so eager to jump on any bait, fishing for you is no
longer a challenge. Yet it is so satisfying to irritate and insult
assholes such as yourself.

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
Wayne nor anyone else here is going to "raise my hackles."
All you are doing, really, is demonstrating your inabilities to behave
decently.

Have nice day.

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?

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