18. My thoughts.

Nov 2014

I think it shows people do irrational things. The person started his attack while the officer was still in his car. I think we sometimes see events through rational eyes using rational thought, when the reality is not everyone thinks that way. I believe we see or read about events and have a hard time believing it because it does not make sense to us.

All I am trying to do by bring this to the forum is to show there are people who think and act very irrational. Sometimes we may need to wait until all the facts are known before making a conclusion.
