You're spot on, and I agree. People do not learn, in fact, like someone said above, sometimes it makes them more inclined to do it again so they WIN the encounter. Not just that, I think people like excitement (adrenalin, what have you) and find it better than driving home being bored out of their mind. Call it living a fantasy, call it what you want. I think society is becoming more aggressive every day. Especially now with the financial crisis, people are becoming more easily upset, more strung out from lack of sleep, more concerned for their own well being, and more apt to commit crimes if it means helping them and their families. I'm not saying we are in a full on riot but some crazy situations have arisen from less. People just don't care anymore, and prison barely leaves an impact on folks these days.barres wrote:Maybe I'm just cynical, but I find myself doubting more every day that people learn from their mistakes.

Re: I had to draw last week. Looking for input
Yeah I agree with what you did as well. Good work. I hope your actions will not only resonate with that guy but also his friends (and their friends and their friends) as he goes around telling his story, which I hope he does. People need to understand that folks (esp. in Texas) ARE ARMED and they won't stand for foolish behavior such as this. You cannot go around bullying everyone or you will eventually end up shot (even if your intentions were not to harm - for example, asleep could have thought he saw a gun and fired. game over.)
I only wish we had some law/judicial type of folks on this forum who could chime in and give an ultimatum on this type of story, just so we could get a glimpse of how it would really have played out in court (certainly not to get anyone here in trouble but just for confirmation on our thought processes).
