    "When to use smartphones"? Not "when to use guns"?

    I seem to recall that the theater's on screen warning about using cellular devices starts *before* the previews. So the shooter was well within his rights.

    Next up: shooting people who bring their babies into theaters.

    On the Today Show, they said that words had been exchanged, then the old cop went to the theater employees to complain about the texter. When he came back, the texter confronted him again about complaining to the employees.

    I figured he left to go get his gun.

    If it had been Texas, they both would've been packing.

    One guy was packing heat.

    The other guy was packing popcorn.

    You're just going with the media narrative that you've been spoon fed.

    He didn't have "popcorn". He had Sno-Caps!

    And, anyone that buys fucking Sno-Caps at the movies deserves to be shot.

    So he was standing his ground against Sno-Caps?

    Can you make the Lean with Sno-Caps?

    Yeah, that's what I meant, Buck. How somehow that apparently is the takeaway from this.

    The equivalent of, "The killings underscored the debate about whether Christopher Nolan's Batman films are too violent."
