Re: Texting in theater sparks fatal shooting

I can't believe CNN.com posted this - wait, yes I can. Considering that they list breaking news like Bieber & Benghazi with equal urgency.
http://www.cnn.com/2014/01/15/justice/f ... ?hpt=hp_t2" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

First, the lady was driving when she heard the news of the shooting, so how did she know it was the same man who she bothered weeks before? I'm assuming CNN verified that after being so upset that she had to pull over, she then made her way to a TV and confirmed who the guy was. Which, as far as I know, today was the first time his picture was posted.

Second, what does she want? Does she want us to feel sorry for her? She deserved the dirty looks the man in the theater gave her while she was texting - apparently during the actual movie. That doesn't mean the guy was going to shoot her. Tell me who hasn't given the stink eye to a jerk talking, texting, or excessively shaking cups of ice and boxes of candy during the show? If he in fact followed her to the bathroom, she should have reported him, but maybe she realized she was the antagonist and was afraid to speak up.

If this is the same guy, then maybe the victim's family can sue her for causing the shooter to snap on the next person texting. Has to be some legal chain of responsibility there, right?

Re: Texting in theater sparks fatal shooting

Yeah, I think this guy was going to pop eventually. You don't normally shoot someone for texting, even if it was a good movie.
