Oulson was texting his 3-year-old's babysitter. Reeves asked him to stop, the noise and lit screen was bothering him. Oulson refused. Reeves left the theater to look for a manager, and returned to his seat. At that point Oulson berated him for complaining and then the confrontation turned physical.
According to witnesses Oulson started arguing again. Oulson then reached over his seat to a seated Reeves, grabbed Reeves popcorn and threw it in his face. Reeves then shot Oulson.
It's easy to see the numerous times Oulson could have prevented this from escalating. All he had to do was sit down, shut up and watch the movie. If you want to use your phone go to the lobby.
So yea, his behavior lead to his death.
Reeves will spend the rest of his life in prison but that doesn't help Oulson does it. You and I could have been sitting in Oulsons seats and nothing would have happened because we wouldn't have escalated a simple request to not disturb the person behind us.
(And throwing a man's food in his face in front of his wife will bring all sorts of macho out in almost any man)
