I am totally surprised this took so long to happen. Movie theater decorum began its slide down the pole with the advent of the ever-present baseball cap in the 70's. Though this is truly a tragedy I have to weigh it against my own instincts when I see people waving around their phones before and during the feature with complete disregard for anyone else. I feel the inaction of the theater management is just as much to blame for this event as the angered men. Once upon a time we went to the cinema to get away from life and take a vicarious leap to some other place. How much that notion has been drown by electronic devices and self-centered narcissism. Maybe people will start to follow the rules and control their impulses.

A retired US police officer is being held in connection with the fatal shooting of a 43-year-old man in a Florida cinema in a row over texting.
Curtis Reeves, who is charged with second-degree murder, was denied bail during his first court appearance.
The 71-year-old opened fire after asking a man sitting directly in front of him to stop texting several times.
He told investigators he was "in fear of being attacked". The victim, named as Chad Oulson, died in hospital.
