Assault by popcorn is no reason to draw and shoot.
Assault being the operative word.
There was no question the deceased had the willingness to assault the elderly. He was also proven to disregard rules and the notification of movie authorities had no impact on him escalating his force.
Does that elderly individual have reason to fear great bodily harm in that instant ?
Florida law speaks specifically to the increased vulnerability of the elderly by enacting specialized legislation making any such assault a felony.
Won't wash with a good prosecutor: let's go to trial.
