Isn't that ------- stupid? Over a fight. So the guy basically decided in his head that he would rather kill this guy and spend the majority of his life in prison instead of walking away with a bloody lip. He could be waking up with a hangover and a sore face right now and go to work tomorrow and live his life and the other guy could be doing the same. That one stupid decision fucked his entire life up, ended another and ruined so many others.

I've taken so many psychology classes and spoken to psychologists/counselors (Psychology major if you can't tell) that it's not even funny, and I'm still completely puzzled as to why people think the way they do. I think it's hard to think like another person; for instance someone cuts you off on a highway and doesn't even blink. You'll get pissed because of what they did, but to them its just how they drive. I dunno

cliffs notes: People think differently than you and I, and I personally think they're just fucked in the head.

I think alot of things contribute to the actions of individuals our age(20-30) these days...I think our parents used ALOT of crazy drugs back in the sixties and seventies, and alot of the residue from those drugs(potent reefer, LSD, etc. etc.) has changed(??polluted??) the genetic code...I think alot of ppl have raised their children in such a haphazard manner that these kids have grown up(if you can call it that) to be spoiled menaces. They grow up seein' alot of violence on TV and they don't realize how things operate in REAL LIFE. U pull that trigger and there is no turning back...We are an EXTREMELY DESENSITIZED society...They're DEFINITELY WAAAAY OUT OF TOUCH WITH REALITY...I wonder if the shooter was drunk or high or what not?? Some people can control their buzz and act in a decent, civilized matter, some people can't. I'm not tryin' to make ANY excuse for the guy, because their really isn't one, I'm just tryin' to make a small inkling of sense out of it(I don't think there is one)...One thing is for sure, the shooter will regret that dumbass decision the rest of his life. I imagine by right now he is probaly askin' himself what the F@CK he has done...His busted lip or black eye or what not will heal in a weeks time, but his life and the life of MANY OTHERS(I wonder if the other guy had a wife and kids??) is screwed permanently...Like you guys said, VERY stupid and sad...

Hell yeah that's why I try to stray away from conflict. You might kick somones *** and he shows up two days later and blows your head off. People are just a bunch of sore pussies these days.

If you think anything is different about humans now, more violent, or whatever else, then you have no grasp of history. The "back in the day" line is complete bullshit.

The shitty thing is, what's done is done. There is no apologizing, no taking it back, no fixing it. It's permanent. What a way to go. I can see bank robbers and ---- and murderers that kill for money because at least they're gaining something out of the murder and risking their life for "something". I'm not saying it's right, but if you kill your wife for the insurance money, at least if you get away with it you will be living a decent life with a pocket full of cash. In this situation there is no winning. Even if he got away and they never caught him, what did he gain?

The house this guy lived at is like a block away from me. About a month ago there was an escaped inmate shot and killed by police about a block away. I feel like I live in the middle of the hood.

I think we're more civilized and sensitive about these issues than we have ever been in all of our existence, maybe thats why we take this to heart so much?

Dr.Boost

Or even worse, you kick that guys *** and it turns out the guy died over a simple punch to the temple and you're going to jail for the rest of your life over it. What a wonderful life you both had. I hope you enjoyed it.

Well when I was growing up in the bay area a guy in my neighborhood was blasted over a game of ping pong. Rule I learned was never play drunk asians at Ping Pong

BigD

Well in that case you could go for self defense. That's why I never throw the first punch. Like I said people are such sore pussies you can say a few words and they come swinging. I don't understand WTF is wrong with out legal system these days. If you are convicted of murder and there is with out a doubt you did it they should just kill your *** then. Public Hangings FTW. Bet people would think twice about the stupid ---- they do.
