  1. Chad Oulson acted in a threatening manner toward an older gentleman. He lunged toward Mr. Reeves in a threatening way in a dimly lit theater while he was also yelling profanities. He was a bully toward an elderly person for absolutely NO reason. Because of Mr. Reeves quick thinking and also because the jury correctly interpreted the law and found him not guilty, maybe more elderly people will feel a little safer and bullies will think twice before picking on an "weaker" person. Bravo to the defense team. You ALL did a fantastic job! Thank you to the judge for being fair.

  3. Lots of food for thought here- 1 the burden of proof lies with the prosecution. 2. There are extra laws that protect people 65 and older from abuse of any kind. 3.The theater wasn’t that crowded, so why sit in front of them in the first place. 4 the average age for someone becoming a parent for the first time is 29. He was 43 with a 2 year old??? 5. Common sense and courtesy says if you’re having an issue at home, leave the theater until you resolve it. 6 yes he was blunt in telling him to turn his phone off, but cursing at him is not appropriate. 7 Reeves is used to the chain of command, which is why he went to the manager. 8 yes he’s clearly used to ordering people around. Both were essentially alpha males, which is always a recipe for disaster. In the old days, after Reeves was told to F off, he would have challenged him to a duel. The victim would have had first choice of weapons. But since they didn’t know each other, he probably would have deferred, to see what Reeves chose and asked for a later date to prepare. The fact that neither wife could get their husbands to listen is a little disturbing. It’s also amazing that supposedly Reeves never had to use his weapon in all his years as a cop. Until you realize that it’s less than 2 percent of cops that ever do. Both of them were essentially inviting an altercation. It’s obvious the victim’s life at that time was focused on his daughter. So why do anything even remotely confrontational out in the world? Seems just a bit silly. And they were both there to see a movie about the Afghan war?? Pretty violent. What types of people would most likely go to that type of movie? What type of person waits till they’re 40 to have a kid, dotes over it and then one day says- hey honey let’s go see that true story about that survivor in Afghanistan??? That speaks a whole lot about who he was…oh and one last thing- if you look up the definitions of 2nd degree murder and voluntary manslaughter, the situation that occurred fits manslaughter far better. Which means that it would have been far easier to prove that. So take that for what its worth. By definition, it was almost impossible to prove 2nd degree murder…

  5. You never thought it would happen Mr. Reeves? You left the theater and went to your car to get a gun and came back with the gun , what did you think would happen? You’re a malignant narcissist who’s gotten away with everything you wanted to your entire adult life and you got away with this also…bravo you douche bag

  6. The jury found the murderer not guilty not because the victim attacked him with bare hands.
    The jury found the coward not guilty of killing unarmed man because they are wimps. The wimps found no courage to convict the retired cop and a father of a Tampa policeman.
    The defense team claimed that the retired cop with life time of training and work as a policeman was defending his life when unarmed man threw a cellphone and popcorn at him. 🍿

  10. What happened with Curtis Reeves was very tragic but not all that surprising. I've seen happen before when the jury develops a bias or prejudice against the victim and killer ends up getting acquitted. It's a risk that happens in every jury trial. Ask any lawyer. The Us Constitution (2nd Amendment) should not allow individuals to eliminate other individuals needlessly.

  11. One Minute of Fate! I've been able to determine based on the timings and testimony that if Curtis Reeves had waited just 1 minute more after have gone to see manager, the whole situation would have been avoided. Talk about 1 minute of fate. No wonder why Curtis Reeves says he has been 2nd guessing himself. If you watch the customer service video, Curtis Reeves shoots Chad Oulson less than 2 minutes after seeing the manager. Mark Reeves testified that he had entered the theater at virtually the same time the argument with Reeves and Oulson had started. This means if Mr. Reeves had waited about 30 seconds to 1 minute more after speaking with manager, he would have bumped into his son, Mark Reeves who looking for him. It's so tragic. Self-Defense of not!

  12. Can’t believe people are upset over this. Someone approached and tried to assault someone who was twice his age. He got what he was looking for.

  13. Rittenhouse rifle to be destroyed; judge approves agreement.

    A spokesman for Rittenhouse said last week that Rittenhouse, who is now 19, wanted to destroy the rifle so nothing can be used as a political symbol or trophy celebrating the shootings.

    If anyone wants to know proof to Curtis Reeve's cold bloodness, continue to follow the case.

    Will Curtis Reeves ask for his gun back??? Stay Tuned to find out.

  14. One other thing. Reeves felt threatened over having deadly popcorn thrown at him and therefore it was justified for him to fire his weapon on Chad Olson? So if I feel threatened at any time because someone does something to me in a non-threatening way, I can get away with shooting that person, too? Or do I need to be 79 years old before I'm allowed to do that? Not to mention, be a bad ass because I was a police captain at one time and therefore immune to the law before and after retirement?

  16. The prosecution is probably seething at Alex Hamilton, the off duty cop, who take Reeve's gun after Reeves shot Oulson. Hamilton essentially blew the case. Hamilton stated that when he took Reeve's gun, Vivian told her husband, Curtis, she she was shocked in what had just happened stating to the effect that "What do you think you are doing?! You can't shoot a gun in a crowded theater. There was no cause to shoot that young man." Reeves sternly told her to shut up. Hamilton testified to this at 2017 SYG Hearing and it was allowed in. However, Hamilton stated he forgot to add to his official statement to police. By the time the case got to a jury trial, the defense was about to keep this out of court because of this fact. I don't blame Hamilton too badly. It was obviously a very traumatic event for him and great number of people(With a person firing a gun in a crowded movie theater. Anybody remember James Holmes from the Aurora, Colorado movie shooting?) He was obviously under a great deal of stress. Nevertheless, this was very disappointing to prosecution. I'm sure if the jury had heard this, Curtis Reeves would have been toast.

  19. Well, the jury has spoken! It would inappropriate for any individual to take action against Curtis Reeves or his family. As far as Nicole Oulson's is concerned. She is the victim in all of this. It is her pain and her grief. Her life has been ruined by this man. She went through the justice system seeking justice and she did not receive it. It is now Nicole Oulson's choice on when she want to do from this point forward. Move forward or seek justice. It is her choice and her choice alone.

  21. I feel for Chad Olson‘s widow she was crying she lost her husband children lost her father rest in peace I hope eventually her and her family can recover from this tragedy
