  It's the sound of backtracking. Two morons on this thread.

  Anyways, no sense in arguing with Belly. This is a senseless murder and IWP's post described the seriousness of it perfectly. Rather than considerate that, Belly instead perceives a threat to his precious gun-carrying laws and has to twist the situation to where both guys were wrong and the shooter was justified. Rather than acknowledge this, he'll just make more stupid threads tomorrow like "HOw much do you spend yearly on greeting cards mofos." SMH.

  He is at least creating threads and attempting to get some conversation going though.

  Young guy get aggressive ( young want to impress wife and justify his behavior is now going to tell old guy what right) aggressiveness increases because old guy is just old... Surprise old guy doesn't coward frustrating young guy more to the point old police guy is being physically threaten ... Boom bad day both wrong but both justified action.
  
  what happen not right but even on the OC the mentality to disrespect older members is a good indicator of what happen at the movies.....

  What Belly specifically means is the young guy under estimated the old guy being a friggin' nut-job with a gun.

  Honestly I respect Belly, he fought for our country, seems he has been successful in work and family. However he is way off base on this one. I'm not even sure how someone can go down that road unless they are trolling.

  22 post after my comment and some of you wiz kids take the bait.
  The cop was wrong the guy was wrong and we don't know what happen in those few seconds before the shot was fired.
  What we have is a dead dad, bad situation and a poor judgement...
  blame because he a cop is wrong, blame because he old is wrong, blame because he was legally carrying a weapon is wrong, this cop this retired cop in his career has done more thing right than wrong but this day he made his worst mistake. Many time we are quick to throw people under the bus without compassion for past deeds. The cop should have his day in court and the law that he up held at one time will be his judgement.
  Young wife and daughter will never see the guy they loved ever again and the devastation of this situation will be forever. As a dad and family man I understand this pain and loss.
  
  
  Old, stupid, retarded...... Even on a computer website emotion run high ... Just think what can happen at the movies

  Belly, with all due respect, it wasn't "bait" you threw out. We know you meant what you said, 'cause you've gone down this path many times. You've made some good points in the past in your defense of the right to bear arms, but in this case, none of them apply. A retired officer of the law got mad because someone was doing something he didn't like, and he shot and killed him. Sounds like something out of 'Tombstone', doesn't it?

  Apparently you don't understand the pain and loss because you seem to think it's necessary to keep mentioning that "both were in the wrong". If I throw my gum on the sidewalk I'm an asshole, but if someone sees me do that and kills me for it you can skip mentioning that I threw my gum on the ground because the important thing is that someone murdered me.
  
  Also you keep saying that we're too quick to throw the ex-cop under the bus, well you're too quick to put him up on a pedestal. You don't know that he did any good deeds as a cop or if he was a shitty corrupt, violent douche of a cop. He could have been a great cop, he could also have been a prick.
  
  Either way the guy murdered someone for throwing popcorn at him. That's not something defensible, he's not a good guy because good guys do not murder people. This isn't even something like the Zimmerman case where you can argue that he was fearful for his life or something. Dude got hit with some popcorn so he killed a person. This isn't a good guy with a gun story. It's a bad guy with a gun story. Yes, he had the gun legally but that doesn't change anything about the story.

  And even at that there is no way anyone can justify the old guy's actions.

  So I’m guessing "Every person is presumed innocent until proven guilty according to the law". Does not apply in this situation on the OC.
  
  Many of you assume that those of us that carry weapon are just looking for a situation to kill. That your sick mind creating that mentality image.
  
  Murder (IMO) is an act that is intended, calculated, planned.
  Neither one of those guys ever planned this would happen, had no intention it would go this far, did not calculated in doing anything like this and we don’t know what the reasoning was for pulling the trigger ..yet
  
  Sure the charges will be Murder maybe…. but we will have to wait a see .. lets be honest we have all seen the court system, judges and lawyers at their worst.
  
  It happens, it’s a bad situation and someone is dead that should not be dead… Was this an accident I will be the first to say NO.
  
  Two strong willed individual, in an escalated event, out of control behavior that lead to a bad ending.

  You still seem to want to give the guy the benefit of the doubt. But there is no doubt here.

  Correct, it does not. It applies in a court of law. In society, one is free to make their own judgements based on as much or as little evidence as they choose.

  Belly's posts normally deserve negged, but in this thread they're screaming to be negged.

  That image was in my mind when you mentioned leaving your wife alone and chasing the burglars after they left your property. You say the guns are for safety yet you decided to leave your wife alone. You gave some lame excuse that you knew "for sure" nobody else was outside....if that means I have a sick mind so be it.

  OK lets call this case involuntary manslaughter if it makes a difference. Either way I bet the ex-cop regrets his frustration getting the best of him. Only reason he shot someone was out of anger because his former cop w/ a gun "respect my authority" ego kicked in.
  These types of nut-jobs shooting and sometimes killing people out of anger are showing up more and more because of CCW.

  The old man probably feared for his life because he may have had high cholesterol and was concerned about accidentally eating some popcorn that was thrown at him. Self defense case closed.

  I am so numb to these damned shootings anymore.
  ALmost to the point that my first reaction to this was that the fucker shouldnt have been texting.

  the percentage of CCW holder committing crimes of shooting violence is minimal
  
  Texting kills more than CCW nut jobs, teen kills family of four text indicated as cause, three teen dead driver texting, high school cheerleader and sister injured and retired police officer killed investigation indicated teen was texting the cause. We seen the local articles and read the stories the reality is cell users killed people
  those deadly cell phone in the hands of untrained nut jobs....

  Nothing like a good apples to oranges argument to back one's point.
