ANOTHER SCHOOL/PUBLIC SHOOTING

[HairOfTheDog]

I wonder if the “unknown dark object” is visible on the surveillance tape?

I don't care if Oulson punched Reeves pulling out a gun and shooting him to death is not an appropriate or acceptable response.

And saying Reeves “never loses his temper”?! Yeah! Except that one time when he shot that guy to death! Remember?

REEVES WAS DENIED BOND ON FRIDAY; he'll be held in jail until his trial.

Investigators testified at the bond hearing yesterday that they watched the video 30 or 40 times and there is no dark object captured. There's something shiny that you can see, but it's not clear what was captured there.



The tape ^ was played in court and Reeves' statement to police was also played. The two don't match. Reeves lied when he told officers right after his arrest that Oulson went to punch him and that Ouslon lunged at him and got almost on top of him.

Both Reeves' wife and Oulson's wife's account were heard on Friday - they are consistent in that Oulson did NOT threaten, punch or attack Reeves before Reeves shot Oulson to death.

Victim's Wife's Account (Nicole Oulson):
"He (Reeves) was just nasty," she said. The man left for a minute and came back. By then, she said, Chad Oulson's phone was off. "We thought that was end of it," she said.

But the man taunted Oulson, she said. "He said, 'Now you put it away, are you scared?' " she said. " 'Oh so now you put the phone away.' And my husband turned around and stood up and said, 'Dude, what is your problem?' "

At this point, Mrs. Oulson said she put her hand up to her husband's chest in an effort to say it wasn't worth a fight. She said her husband never hit Reeves.

Suspect's Wife's Account (Vivian Reeves):
In a recorded interview, Vivian said Oulson "stood up and turned around and was just right there leaning over. It looked like his whole body came forward."

She said she didn't hear Oulson threaten her husband or see her husband's gun. The whole thing "happened so fast" and she said she saw no sign of Reeves having been injured.

She said her husband, a law enforcement officer for more than 20 years, had never shot anyone. "He's never threatened anybody with a gun or nothing," she said. "I just couldn't believe it."

Witness Account:
An off-duty officer who took control of the situation in the theater after the shooting testified that Vivian scolded her husband right after the shot and told him there was no cause to shoot the man; Curtis Reeves told his wife to "shut the fuck up".
