33. Some people are just really angry.

Some people are just really racist. Some people are just really angry and really racist. Dunn fits both.

Heck, last week (maybe two now) a man in my state sent a package to his in-laws with a bomb inside. Killed them both. Makes not a bit of sense to me. His wife's mother and father!! That takes a tremendous amount of hate, along with other problems.
