I thought I was disoriented or something because I couldn't find anyone reporting or discussing the shootings today. Then Mr. Morgan was talking about it and I was relieved someone was at least as sane as I was.

Miami (AFP) - A 71-year-old retired policeman (click here) was refused bail after allegedly shooting dead a fellow moviegoer in Florida for using text messages with his phone, authorities in the US state said.

Curtis Reeves, a retired police captain from Tampa, was being held on suspicion of second-degree homicide after he opened fire on Chad Oulson, 43, Monday at a cinema in Wesley Chapel, Florida, Pasco county judge Lynn Tepper said.

The police report said Reeves fired one shot from his .380 caliber semiautomatic handgun after the two men exchanged words over Oulson's use of his smartphone shortly before a screening of military action film "Lone Survivor."...

The man carried his weapon with him into a movie theater to watch the movie, lost his temper and killed someone over the use of a cell phone. Amazing. This is what we have come to in this country. We don't value human life the way we should anymore. It used to be the worst anyone could do in a theater or library was to say, "Shhhhhh" and it would embarrass the other person and they would stop their annoyance. Now, why bother causing embarrassment, end it. What is incredible to me is that the man probably expected to finish watching the movie after he silenced the 'problem.'
