Oh and there is a ban on guns in that theater .........
Laying the groundwork for a PTSD defense?
Nope, SYG. He was in "fear". Something tells me it will not be a successful defense.
Beginning to sound like the guy panic'd which will result in a lot of time in jail for manslaughter IMO.

Sounds more like a self defense plea than SYG.
There are some obvious questions the article didnt really go into... there were like 20 witnesses there including an off-duty cop. So you'd think there would be a consensus of what happened.The victim is actually a pretty big guy. They probably got into a verbal spat, someone threw the popcorn, and the old guy panicked. But you would think being a former police captain that he'd have a cooler head. You got to wonder if a little dementia was setting in. Spurts of violence is not uncommon with that. Studies show up to 60% of people with dementia show random acts of aggression sometimes for no reason at all. Im all for the 2nd amendment and all. But people with impaired mental conditions shouldnt be carrying weapons like that.The judge today denied bail. So it doesnt look like the court is buying any self-defense argument right now.
