Keep in mind that the wife of Chad Oulson was also shot in the hand by Curtis Reeves protect her husband, also that the entire incident happened during the previews. This happening in Central Florida and the accused being an ex cop bodes poorly for justice for Mrs. Oulson. The only thing she has going for her is her husband was white.
I include this story because having gone to quite a few websites looking for the best video and picture, I found the comments below each article very disturbing and reflective of our gun culture.
Because a handful of popcorn flew, not clear from whom, many see this as a STAND YOUR GROUND issue. Many others say it is a GOOD lesson in texting etiquette, while not a few others use it as an example why everyone should have a gun in a movie theater. A bigger gun that shoots faster than any other gun someone may have. Most comments defend the guy with the gun in one way or another no matter where I found myself.
Sure this has a lot to do with gun enthusiasts having little going for them in their lives other than the guns. When not spending their time at gun stores, gun shows, gun ranges, gun clubs, Tea Party jamborees or in the woods drinking shine and shooting beer cans they spend what little time they have left over celebrating guns and violence in comment areas. But we are all guilty in allowing this minority of violent losers to run the show in this country on this matter.
And sadly the only people who are heroic enough to stand up to these creeps are a few parents of children shot down in schools and a brave congress woman who was shot through the brain. Too few to matter.
And please remember, it is not crime or mental illness that is behind the vast majority of gun homicides in this nation, it is just what you see here. Though usually both the shooter and the victim know each other. Also keep in mind there are seven people wounded – which we seldom hear of – for every one killed.
About 100,000 Americans are shot each year by angry gun owners and gun enthusiasts.
Who was the most famous Gun Enthusiast in America? Timothy McVeigh.
