Don’t be the lunatic in the first place, without or especially with a gun.
Don’t call strangers out on their bad manners, and don’t be a self appointed cop.
See the term “gray man”... “Oh, don’t mind me, I’m just some nobody passing this way...”
Might save someone a lifetime of suffering.
Gray Man,
Was taught that way. Raised that way. Act that way.
Till it is time not to be that way.
A parking violation is small potatoes. My bride will lose her cake over that though. I once stood next to a rather large gentleman while his wife and mine screamed at each other, trying to figure out which one of use would tell the mamma bears to knock it off.
Big biker guy, and I am not small. But we both were very uncomfortable that our wives seemed to have no issue making a scene over a similar issue.
I refuse to live in a world where everybody ignores lawbreaking because it is the “polite” thing to do.
If you saw someone stealing a coat from a rack at a shop, would you “stay quiet”?
What if you saw someone doing graffiti? Or stealing a car? Or driving the wrong way down a one-way street?
OR are we supposed to judge each law as to it’s “sincerity”, and only act against people who are violating the “real” laws.
I’ve seen a lot of stupid people confronting people over stupid things. A few weeks ago I watched some guy scream at another guy for “cutting” in line to get popcorn at a theater. And the cutter then got in a pretty loud argument with him, and there was name-calling, and I was glad in the end I didn’t have to physically intervene.
But I see nothing wrong with a person who has a mother who needs a handicap space walking up to someone illegally parked, and telling them that they are breaking the law and shouldn’t be taking up the handicap parking spaces.
