Okay, now I'm sad. Was one of THOSE days.
So I'm sitting in the parking lot in my car letting it warm up. I saw a guy knock his wife/girlfriend or whoever on her ass and speeding off. She was crying, unhurt but still upset.
I do NOT tolerate it when a gy beats his wife or girlfriend. That's one hell of a good way to get my worst side out. But... what do you do? Nothing would ease the hostility more than pounding on the guy's head until he will have to spend the next week looking himself in the mirror remembering what it feels like to be on the recieving end. But... you know that isn't the best way to go. He'd just wind up taking it out on her later if I bitch slapped him into submission. Can't call the cops because they'll be home fighting by time the cops get there, and a citizen's arrest would just end in him taking it out on her. The only way that I can figure it would work is by beating his ass, throwing him in the trunk, dangling him over a working hamburger grinder and slowly lower him in enough to get an up close look at the screw before reciting his name and address and proclaiming that if he ever puts hands on her again I'll finish the job...
but that wouldn't be legal. FUN... but illegal.
Then a co worker's friend passes away. His friend had a bad seizure and went brain dead and they pulled the plug this evening. Late teens, early 20s... and to see a friend react to such news isn't easy.
Then on the way home thinking about things I was cruising 120th on the way home. 120th is a stretch of road that has a lot of wrecks, and thus you see a lot of roadside markers where someone lost a loved one, and a lot of signs that the city puts up with the name of someone who died there because of a drunk driver. One little roadside shrine was illuminated with christmas lights and a wreath around her photo. The photo has been there for a very long time, but to know someone still misses them that much to keep coming back to decorate it for a holiday is saddening.

I just hate to see people cry and be hurt. I been bullied and became a bully, so I've been on both sides of that coin. Still AM on both sides of that coin.
