▶ ‘Popcorn Killer’ Uses Stand Your Ground To Justify Theater Slaying

 

“The sheriff who’s investigating the fatal shooting of a moviegoer this week in Florida said the state’s “stand your ground” defense doesn’t apply in this case, but an attorney said it likely does.

“What most people don’t understand is, the law is not concerned with what started your argument; the law is not concerned about how petty it is,” attorney Stephen Romine told First Coast News. “The law is concerned about the acts between two people — the person who died and the person who did the shooting.”

Retired police captain Curtis Reeves was charged with second-degree murder after he shot 43-year-old Chad Oulson to death Monday afternoon because he refused to stop sending a text message to his 2-year-old daughter’s day care provider.

Reeves told investigators that he feared for his safety when he was struck in the face with an object that investigators determined was popcorn, but his attorney suggested may have been a more dangerous object.”* John Iadarola (TYT University), Ben Mankiewicz (Turner Classic Movies) and Gina Grad (The Gina Grad Show) break it down.

‘We called for help, and they killed my son,’ North Carolina man says

70 seconds: That’s how long a North Carolina family says it took for things to go horribly wrong after they called police for help with their mentally ill son.

 

Community Village‘s insight:

 

If you call the police for “help”, be aware that the police carry guns. The police will use their guns if they feel their life is being threatened.

Never call the cops on your kids or family or friends, unless your life is in danger.

CNN turns story of murder into a “feel good” story

I’m calling out male violence when I see it. Male violence is a huge problem in our society.

This story does no justice to the wife who was murdered. I would think she would want media to call out men on their violence?

CNN dropped the ball on this one. They turned the story upside down. Instead of talking about male aggression, they talk about how great technology is and almost make the murderer out to be a hero because his wife’s organs went to seven other people. Wow. This CNN coverage is male privilege and patriarchy at it’s worst.
