The outdoor shooting tend to drop off during the winter months, but the tempers don’t. I have a non-scientific theory that heating your house with the oven makes people crazy.
Anywhere the youths gather indoors, there is going to be a fight, stabbing or shooting and it takes awhile for the tempers to cool; always someone out for revenge and it’s usually over something stupid,like “what you said to my lil cousin?”
The hot months does have more violence though and any venue that promotes a family setting is going to bring the troublemakers.
I and alot of others won’t go to Six Flags anymore because of the ignorant and rude SOBs there. They also don’t allow any to carry in there, including LEOs.
I took my family to the Omaha zoo recently, and I was making plans in my head for weeks ahead of time about the “what ifs”. I was very aware of my surroundings, looking for groups of people, especially those with a “uniform” (it has been observed that the flash mob “uniform” is white shirts and dark pants/jeans).
Not a hint of a problem at all there. Lots of big families (with fathers present), lots of pregnant women (also with fathers present). No hints of violence or threats or domineering counterculture or rudeness anywhere.
Well the winter is when the anger builds up and explodes in the summertime.
