What The ... ????

I often comment that people are weird, if not unpredictable crazy.
I also often comment we live in a very broken culture ....

So last week, when news of a shooting occurring in Fife was announced - no news there.
Fife is a small town outside of Tacoma, gangland central in Western Washington!
And they tend to shoot each other daily down there.
One wonders how my town was voted most violent in Washington State by the police ...

Then you find out that this occurred on the freeway - now that gets your attention!
Washington State has an inordinate amount of road rage.
People just plain fed up and frustrated over poor traffic flow design.

Then the news tells you about the confrontation between a motorcyclist and an outraged car driveer.
Well no news there either, motorcyclists are jerks on the freeways.
And red neck drivers in Washington are a very real problem!

Then you find out that the driver of the car exited and attacked the motorcyclist.
In fact, the motorcyclist was a small woman.
Whom he knocked to the ground and then began pummeling her on the ground!

I have no doubt that her pulling a gun is completely justified.
Shooting him to death becomes self defense ...
In a State where self defense is rared allowed.

And I heard from a police friend, to make this tale weirder:
The guy's wife was seated there with him!
No doubt in shock.

So, if you think on it:
Did he wake up and think this was a good day to die?
Do you think the female thought it was a good day for killing someone?
Of course not.
So what went wrong?

Why in our culture do we get bent out of shape over traffic?
It is there everyday.
So it should be of no surprise!

We end up seeing that the real problem here is more than likely a severe character flaw in man.
A flaw which allows him to believe that he is more important than anyone else.
It is possible he is a bully and used to getting his way through intimidation.
No surprises here, we are discussing huge flaws un the cultural mindset ...

I feel sorry for the wife.
Whatever transpired prior to this,
Whatever comments they exchanged,
Were to be their last.

I feel sorry for the motorcyclist.
No matter amount of poor driving she exhibited,
She should not have had to kill someone.

I have little sympathy for the driver.
He chose to leave his car.
He chose to attack the motorcyclist
He chose to then beat a complete stranger.
I have no sympathy for anyone whom raises a hand to a woman ...

I am sorry he had to die from his choices
Life is precious,
And this culture has forgotten this ...
