Articles like these cause me to worry more and more about where we are going as a modern society.

FWIW, John Wesley Hardin shot a man for snoring.

I would not have considered the society John Wesley Hardin lived in as modern. It seems that as we progress we should be hearing less about these kinds tragedies instead of more about them. Maybe we are going backwards. Or the inmates are running the asylum. History shows that society's modernize and fail. It looks like we are failing.
