Texting during a movie is never really a good idea, and things escalated in 2014 when Curtis Reeves was at a movie theatre and Chad Oulson, who was sitting in front of him, started texting. Reeves asked Oulson to stop but Oulson refused, stating that he was texting his daughter’s babysitter. They began to fight and Oulson threw a bag of popcorn at Reeves, who then pulled out a shotgun and shot Oulson, killing him and injuring Oulson’s wife.3
Candace Brito and Vanesa Zavala killed Kim Pham, who was only 23, after she accidentally walked in front of the camera as the two girls were taking a photo at the Crosby Club in Santa Ana, California. Brito and Zavala beat the young girl to death including a fatal kick to the temple area of Pham, and they were convicted of felony manslaughter.6
Brenda Spencer killed two people in 1979 when she fired on San Diego’s Grover Cleveland Elementary School with a rifle from her family’s house across the street. When asked by a reporter why she did it, the 16-year-old allegedly told him “I don’t like Mondays.” Her comments inspired the song, I Don’t Like Mondays by The Boomtown Rats.10
Saying your “please” and “thank yous” is polite in any culture, and for Fergus Glen it’s extremely important. Glen allegedly killed his brother Craig when Craig didn’t say thank you for the meal that his brother cooked him. Fergus grabbed an ax and hacked his sibling to pieces after the meal, and then told authorities, “He annoyed me.”12
Tonda Lynn Ansley shot her landlady in the head and then claimed that her landlady was part of a conspiracy to brainwash and kill her. Ansley told the court she was sucked into an alternate reality, and thus was found not guilty because they deemed her not sane. Since then, the Matrix defense has become a form of insanity plea used during murder trials.
