I just don’t understand people these days …
As I was leaving today, I saw an ambulance just outside the front door, then a police car pulled up. I glanced around but didn’t see any accident. Whatever it was, I didn’t think I could help and didn’t want to get in the way (and definitely wasn’t a witness to whatever happened), so I headed for my car. On my way there, the cart pusher told me what he’d seen – two cars had parked next to each other, the people got out and argued over something, then as one turned to walk away the other started hitting her. (Apparently both were women.)
I don’t know what it was about, but it is hard for me to imagine that violence was warranted in that situation. And the cart pusher described it as “Awesome”? Not a word I would use.
The media and politicians are constantly talking about “gun violence”. Terrible as things like school shootings are, I can’t say that violence in general is a good thing. Nobody got shot today, but that doesn’t make it acceptable. But do you think there’ll be even 20 people around here saying that tomorrow? You think there’ll be that many people who even care? That is what is wrong with society today.
