Thunderlips digging has shown that this was building up, a slow boil. The guy was obviously off his rocker.
annual testing for excops who carry, especially elderly ones, for mental competency should be a result from this altercation.

However, nobody was shot for talking/texting on a cell phone.


Somebody was shot for throwing shit in the dark while screaming at an elderly ex-cop who probably acted reflexively.

Anyone - especially an ex-cop - who acts reflexively, pulls out a concealed weapon and shoots an alleged popcornetrator is a danger to society. This is not a reasonable reaction for this situation.

I would add that the guy is probably halfway senile.....

Thanks 'shell.

The old bird could be taking a wing stiffener.

"Senile Douche, crazed on Levitra and covered with testosterone patches, snuffs Wayward Texter".

Ah, the good ole days of the National Enquirer.
