That's the ticket, let's shoot everyone who annoys us. And while were at it, let's shoot everyone whom we suspect of voting for Obama, and everyone who wears nose jewelry and has tattoos. And don't even get me started about people who don't use their turn signals.
If murdering people is your idea of how we get to an agreeable society, I'd just like to remind you that it's been tried before and the experiment was terminated on May 8th, 1945.

This ex-officer clearly has anger issues, and no doubt he’ll spend the rest of his life behind bars because of them. I feel terribly sorry for the wife and child of the deceased.
