Reply #18: Maybe, maybe not

I knew a young man back in Ohio who shot his girlfriend one evening when she came home early from a night out with the girls. He wounded her, but didn't kill her. He had awoken from his sleep when she came in and stupidly over reacted.

My father is a psychologist. He had one patient, a man in his 30's, who had accidentally killed his seven year old son when the boy went downstairs for a snack. He heard the child coming up the stairs and yelled "WHO'S THERE"?, and since the boy was so scared by his father's tone he didn't answer-so the idiot father went ahead and shot blindly down the staircase, instantly killing his son. Sometimes people live in so much fear of "bad guys" that they can't think clearly at all and become the very thing that they fear most.
