I was about 12 in Appalachia when my neighbor shot a kid. My uncle and his pals would argue with the old-guy that didn’t like high-school kids walking past his house. He argued with everyone.
One day the old coot came out with a rifle and shot poor Mike in the face as they are coming home from school.
I go outside to see a body on the ground,and a large piece of meat on the car hood nearby.Gruesome.
Never forgotten.

Don’t fuck with people.You never know what their breaking point is.
Drugged or sober. People are nuts.

Thats just it, people think that because they feel they are in the right they can mess with others, often they get away with it, but it is like playing with fire, sometimes they get burnt. I get fed up with people, truely do, because it seems no one is willing to just let others alone. Not saying blasting someone is ok but in the story you mentioned maybe if the kids had just decided that fucker was crazy and walked a differant path home mike would still be around

Old doesn’t mean good, right or better than anyone else..I’ve got an old neighbor who put cardboard Styrofoam some house trash and itching powder in a trash bag and set it in the dumpster cause the elderly woman who dug in the garbage for recycling banged the lid too loud every time…Then he sat back and watched her scratching her arms next to dumpster filled with bacteria…I’ll give you two guesses what kind of infection she got…but you’re only gonna need one….OLD DOES NOT MEAN GOOD

When it is not in defense of self or others, with reasonable fear of death or great bodily injury. Otherwise, you are just assaulting someone with a deadly weapon. With a firearms enhancement.

Well imo it isnt assult, it is just proving apoint that if they dont fuck off they will end up getting more then they thought. People today think that because there are laws they can act and force their will on others without fearing for their lives, then there are those who dont give a rats ass and pull a gun, me i am somewhere in the middle. I go through life trying to be respectful, yet when my respect is used against me it turns evil for others, all this passive agressive behaivor tends to lend itself to agression for folks who are doers instead of crying babies. Ya never know when the evil sides of folks will come out.

That’s how Jackie Chan spells “fu-k”. Coincidence: maybe!
