Random shootings in the US

then I'm in error and I apologize! :)

Thank You.

I have no problem with offending someone, I just prefer it be for the right reason.

I apologize if my sometimes disjointed thought processes caused any confusion.

It has to be something to do with Western society nowadays. Seems like you cannot go anywhere without being beaten within an inch of your life or murdered outright for looking someone in the eye. I'm British and our strict gun licensing does *censored* all, people here don't have access to guns so instead the rates of stabbings have sky rocketed. London is more dangerous than New York and we don't even have guns!!! Pensioners and women are beaten to death for no other reason other that "It was a laugh". It's more dangerous to go out if you are a guy alone that if you are female. Theres a higher chance that you will be set upon by a gang of knife wielding thugs than if you are a woman and dragged into a bush and raped. Society is the problem.

I was down getting an electrical permit today and they have always had this sign behind the counter that says<” It is illegal to harass or threaten [state employees I think]. So I was joking with the lady about it and she said it didn’t used to be a problem but the last few months have been really bad.

I suppose in the last few months the real bulk of the stress from the recession has been hitting people. Anything to do with finances is a sore point for thousands of people so I suppose the number of assaults on employees have gone up. Not that they shouldn't make it illegal to abuse or harrass the employees anyway.
