In reply to the discussion: Prosecutors: This wasn't the first blow-up for Florida theater shooter Curtis Reeves [View all]riqster
(13,986 posts)64. Agreed. Consequences should fit the behavior.
The shooter went and got the usher. That is how you're supposed to do it. Appropriate.
Then he decided to kill the texter. Not in any way appropriate.
By the way-I have gone for ushers when other moviegoers have behaved inappropriately. If the usher did not address the situation, I went to the manager for a refund. Nobody died from my annoyance.
