555. Chris was seated in the theater. Nobody was near him. "Reservoir Dogs 2" was about to start. As usual, there were few moviegoers at the 12:20 matinee. Chris liked it like that. The lights went down. The previews began. Minutes later, a man and woman sat down in the seats right in front of Chris. He moved a few seats to his left. Then he heard a phone ring. The man started talking on his phone. Chris said, "Would you please take your phone conversation outside? I'm trying to watch a movie." The man looked at Chris. He snarled, "Go sit somewhere else, old man." He threw a full bag of popcorn at Chris. The man resumed talking on his phone. Chris shot the man in the head. Later, Chris told a detective, "I was just trying to watch a movie. He was rude. I gave him a wake‐up call." 2.0
