News Thing – Drunk Crossbow
Anytime my hate tank for humanity is a little low I set my sights on the news for a healthy refuel. Sure, I could look towards articles about politics or religion to quickly fuel my hate filled being, but the hate usually gets directed inwards after I realize that I’m not nearly as smart as I think I am.
Instead, I take a look at the small stories that rarely get any attention. The stories usually involve three main things: alcohol, weapons and blatant stupidity. They’re typically not hard stories to find here in America where everyone is constantly drunk, armed and ill-mannered.
Here’s the latest article that caught my attention:
Police said on June 21, Lupercio started arguing with a 25-year-old man about the breed of the younger man’s dog on the sidewalk on Apple Street between 29th and 30th streets. The owner said the dog was a pit bull. Lupercio said it was a lab, then went home and came back 20 minutes later with a crossbow pistol and fired it, just missing him.
Alcohol was a factor in the incident.
As weird as it sounds, the part of this story that I have the biggest problem with is when they state that “alcohol was a factor in the incident”, like this guy’s not a gigantic asshole to begin with. Don’t give this guy an alcohol out for his extreme barbarism. If he’s shooting crossbows at people when he’s drunk he at least says “what the fuck are you looking at?” five times a day when he’s sober to anyone who even glances at him.
You hear about these types of stories all the time. Two people have a small disagreement and one of the people usually assaults and attempts to kill the other. I actually think that this particular brand of crazy, that threatens lives, can really just be reduced to people, as a whole, being complete self-serving assholes deep down. I’m not even talking about the hilarious and intelligent kind of asshole, like me. I’m talking about just mean and bitter disappointments to society. It’s these types of violent assholes that really give a bad name to the awesome assholes like me, and it’s a damn shame.
So what do we do about this problem of an unintelligent, violent and ill-mannered society? I guess the only real solution to this particular problem is to kill their entire bloodline. Really snuff out the problem on the base level. If you try to injure someone over a ridiculous disagreement, you’re done. It’s not like you’re a positive, contributing member of society anyways.
