    Because the last thing we want or expect on a discussion board... is discussion....


    Brilliant...

    Cmon man, theres no discussion here, its just "let me pick apart your post which picked apart my post which picked apart the other guys post which picked apart my post". We have people bolding one specific word as the basis of an argument.

    Bolding words for argumentative emphasis on a message board... remarkable...


    Hotballa, I suggest you stick to starting socially awkward self-exposing threads on your borderline rapist/ tendencies for the amusement of people you've never met... and leave proper discussion to those actually adept at it...

    Interesting. I said Oulson refused to stop texting. RocketsJudoka disagreed and said that Oulson had already stopped texting by the time Reeves returned. You agreed with him.

    I then provided an article showing that that Oulson was still trying to text after Reeves returned. You then implied that my reading comprehension had problems.

    I don't see where my reading comprehension failed me...

    Lol man does every post you make in this thread have to have some sort of personal attack? Why the incessant need to prove your point/call others names when they dont agree with you? Take some of your own advice. Let it go and dont take stuff so seriously. It is afterall, strangers youve mostly never met

    I guess your lack of understanding stems from your ignorance on the difference between a movie theater and a message board.

    FOUND NOT GUILTY!

    Well, it took 8 years, but he was found not guilty.

    I watched a good bit of the trial online, and I thought he would be convicted. The man that was killed grabbed Reeves popcorn and through it in his face. Reeves immediately shot him dead.

    Both men were idiots, but one man had a gun and the other one didn’t. Just another example of a simple argument that turned deadly because someone had a gun in his pocket. Reeves seemed like a former cop who still enjoyed enforcing rules and bossing people around. Oh well, both men were idiots.

    I get that on paper taking someone's popcorn and throwing it in their face is probably assault/battery/whatever, but it feels more than silly to legally excuse someone for murdering another human over what is effectively hurt feelings.

    Doesn't surprise me he got away with murder in Florida. If he had been black he probably would have gotten life.

    Is is right? Should it be right? Hell no, **** no, but I just say "ok brother" and walk away.

    Just not worth dealing with crazies.

    Trust no one, they're all potentially armed and all potentially angry.

    Especially in Texas. Heck, I'm old enough to remember the days when you could flip off some as*hole on the freeway who rode your ass then swerved in front of you and hit the brakes. Now days you'd be risking getting shot in the head for that. People get shot for much less now. You can't even look at some of the hot heads wrong. Too many crazies packing guns.

    If anyone is interested in hearing why the jury found him not guilty, here you go...



    Did you watch this trial, @Os Trigonum
