He went looking for trouble.

[@LenaRoss-i9e]

Who the one who was talking on the phone with his daughter and even stopped when the old man told him?? After that old guy still taunting him?? Who was looking for trouble

[@kareem5795]

@ the old man was looking for trouble

[@brothermeleke]

He was not acquited because of the law, he was acquited because he used to be a cop.

[@alekjwrgnwekfgn]

and probably a Freemason or Shriner.

[@PalBatey]

A white cop...

[@aliasif8498]

He shot him in cold blood...so sad

[@ColinoDeani]

I feel so bad for his daughter... only left with pictures and missing out on having a great dad.. he smile is filled with pain.. poor baby.. I wonder if Chad and his wife took part in the hoodies up movement in 2012... Noone cares about an issue until it affects them.. RIP Chad

Murdering someone, is Not being a "Law Abiding Citizen.'

[@LadieKadie]

It is when that someone is inside your home uninvited! A gun SAVED MY LIFE from an attacker! SIT DOWN!

[@thomaskloos6409]

Miss did you watch the example They were absolutely out of line ​@@LadieKadie Also, outside of the U.S. y'all seem crazy for valuing guns over children

[@lordhighexecutioner]

The cop clearly "de-escalated by escalation"... to escalate to force his victim to fold... he was used to being obeyed. That he chose to plant himself in back of the victim, it can easily be inferred that he had no fear as he chose to pick the fight. He considered that he owned that part of the theatre and was giving orders that had to be obeyed. That he was a cop actually makes it clear to be he is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Obviously, the Defence did a good job in selecting a jury that has zero common sense.

[@ernststrauss5997]

To me, this means the one who carries is the one that will win. That's scary and creates the idea that you must always carry a weapon

[@kazeembusari3345]

What a messed up country!

[@LadieKadie]

Yes it is! Do NOT come here!

[@Lion_Hamza]

The elderly gentleman provided false testimony in court, asserting that he was in fear for his life. Upon his passing, he will face the Almighty and be questioned once more regarding the events that transpired. At that moment, there will be no opportunity for deception or excuses.

[@lordhighexecutioner]

"I cannot be responsible for the reaction of 30 million Texans"... Oh, but you must be. When designing something like this, you need to consider how it would work in the real world. If it foreseeably causes people to pick fights and murder people with impunity, then you are responsible for that result. You are supposed to know Texans, and know human beings in a wider sense. You need to think about how it would work for real. This is not some abstract statement of an ideal... this is the real world with real effects. In fact, that state senator seems obsessed with principle and ignores practical reality.

[@LaurieValdez-zk3dy]

Why did he sit behind them in a empty theater ?

[@Boulder-t7p]

The row and seat numbers are on the ticket. Have you ever been to a stadium, theater, and arena?

[@smallworld707]

​@@Boulder-t7pif it was empty, he could've moved. The movie hadn't even started!

[@MoviesDreamland]

From different news outlet, they reported Reeves was with his wife, and he was hit by a phone as well as the popcorn.

[@PoppyLewis-q9q]

What happened to trayvon Martin was a opportunity for everyone to stand together in solidarity and get this law removed instead this man's life was taking years after this law should have already been removed😢

[@mralekito]

I watched the whole trial. It was not like they claimed here. One punch can kill you, had he been assaulted he might have been killed, so he had the right to defend himself. Chad was the physically aggressive person. He turned to fight and threw an object at him. He could have just sat down and ignored him. A tragic situation, but watch the trial if you want a balanced point of view.

[@BigBadWolf..............]

The case should be appealed to the Supreme Court and put in National News. The stand your ground laws are necessary but this was murder.

[@amyellen3845]

Our laws are applied subjectively based on class, as our recent election results re-affirmed. It's clear which demographic is overly "afraid" of everyone else.

[@csy2068]

There is absolutely no justification for the shooting at all what's so ever but there's a lot of crazy ppl out there so try to deescalate or walk away instead of throwing popcorn cuz u don't know which unreasonable person u are dealing with

Wow people like you approve of it is crazy,,,,, you know if this was anywhere that man would be going to jail right??? America is a experiment indeed

[@Boulder-t7p]

Why would you throw popcorn on a 70 year old man? The victim was wrong for that

[@supermodelatlanta1354]

Very controversial title ay

[@Fgji230]

I find it hilarious. When Islam tries to debate legality and morality of a free society. When they themselves live in an unquestionable theocracy.

[@kjmax1068]

I would feel safer in an Islamic country than America. You people know nothing else. Look at all the wars caused by your country!!

[@janneslange8306]

Yeah because every journalism from an Arabic speaking country is just Islam. Stop making a clown of yourself, it is obvious that you just dont want to engage with the very valid criticism in this video

[@EinsteinPanda]

If you don't like the 2nd amendment and the right to defend yourself, then go live in the middle east and enjoy your ideal life there. But leave us alone with this propaganda BS😂🎉

[@amyellen3845]

Be careful. You may scare someone talking like that. 😂

[@frackjohn]

​@@amyellen3845that's funny actually 😂😂.

[@RobPires]

Is this what you would tell Chad's widow? Go live in the middle east? What kind of messed up are you?

[@AlwysBclosing]

Qatars has similar self defense laws to America: “Article 49 of the Penal Law, The right of private defence shall arise if the following conditions are fulfilled: (1) If the defendant faces immediate danger of any offence affecting himself or his property” One notable difference between US law and Qatar’s is that this barbaric kingdom still allows flogging, a punishment often doled out to their foreign workers and servants HOW MEDIEVAL!!!

[@Remainsofaruineddeadcursed-d7t]

The law is actually a really good thing. It came about because of real life situations where people attack someone in public and the person being attacked saves their life from the attack but end up going to jail for highly unjust reasons. Like any law, it can be applied poorly or misused. And i from what you showed it doesn't at all appear like a good application of the law in that instance. Which is a real shame. But even with that being a thing, the law still stands for a very important principle. which im glad exists in the US. The US has plenty of bad laws, and does plenty of actions across the world which qualify as crimes against humanity. Iraq and helping the occupiers of central Palestine being glaring examples. however im sure grateful of the gun and self defense laws the US has, any nation which does not is much lesser for it. And clearly doesn't have respect for its people's human rights

[@feemarie]

Trayvon martin beat the sense out of George Zimmerman. Bad. Was on top of him wailing on him for over 2 minutes straight. He tried to grab his “pew pew” off his waist towards the end, that’s when Zimmerman grabbed it and did what he did. The propaganda would like you to believe Zimmerman went up to him and did that to him for no reason. Trayvon martin and Zimmerman exchanged words, Trayvon martini actually LEFT the scene, then returned 5 minutes later and attacked Zimmerman and tried to steal his weapon. Eye witnesses saw Zimmerman getting bludgeoned on the ground screaming for help. There’s a great deep dive documentary on this case. Trayvon was already a gang memeber and had already been selling “Pew pews” to other kids in his highschool. That’s what he known for in school. I’m guessing his intention was to beat Zimmerman up and steal his weapon to resell it at school and it just didn’t work out like that. There’s GREAT documentary that actually uses the court discovery and goes through almost all of Trayvon martins private text messages. He wasn’t an innocent kid. He was a gang member who sold weapons to other kids on the black market and was almost expelled from school for attacking and wailing on people the same exact way he did to George Zimmerman.

I cannot believe he attacked the old man. Sad outcome but he shouldn't have assaulted the old man. Old man was looking for trouble since the law was passed. . He missed the good ole days when he could take his anger out on citizens when he was a cop
