I look at it the other way: If the cop had been in violent situations before, he would know when things were about to get deadly and reacted first to save his own life.
I bet that makes him even more deadly.
If he hadn't been shot, he'd have gone home, paid the babysitter and come back to beat the old codger to death with his kid.

To be fair, the man was using a phone in the cinema. No lower form of human.

Sherlock would have shot him for that.
Quote: Matthew Stott @ 14th January 2014, 1:36 PM GMTDid the fact he had a gun mean that he took it that far and to that place in the first place?
Did the selfish, bullying, younger texter rely on his ability to kick shit out of an elderly man mean he took it that far and to that place in the first place?

Very true!
Still, with a choice of going to see a film in the same room as a phone, and in the same room as a gun, I know which I'd choose.
(To stay at f**king home.)

Perhaps the old man did his best to stop the situation and the selfish loon was going to now attack him for daring to ask him politley to stop using his phone no matter what. Dunno. Only know what I read there. One man ended up dead over basically nothing that became something, though.
I have to be honest if I had a shooter, I'd probably shoot in order
People who text when they walk
People who listen to music on public transport
People who push in, in queues
People who breed zebras
zebras
Kids who ride on scooters
Families who ride on scooters on buses
People who eat fried chicken other than a hermetically sealed box
People who say ya get me
People who listen to music on public transport
Thats a big list so I'd probably need a machine gun or something.

I'd rather sit next to the retired ex-cop who hates texting in cinemas then the selfish, argumentative, violent texter, who when asked to show consideration to other people, threatens to beat up an elderly man.

I can readily agree with this statement...and in fact, do.

Good luck with the ricochets!

Let's look at the statistics of zooo's survival odds -
Chance of being killed by an angry chav with no gun - 100 to 1
Chance of being shot by a retired policeman - 10000000 to 1
Good luck with leaving the house!
Chance of me kicking an any angry chav in the nuts and gouging their eyes out with my keys if they threaten me - good to firm.
(I don't know how to write odds.)

I find that shooting people dead is terribly distracting in a cinema.
Even worse than texting.

Me neither and the odds I quoted I just done made up in my brains.

This doesn't matter, obviously. But I wonder, if you and your husband get shot at the cinema, do they at any point reimburse you for the tickets? And the rest of the people in the audience.
