Just utterly senseless.

Woman Killed for Laughing at Man Dangling Feet out of Car

Quote:
On Wednesday, just after noon, Denise Chiffon Berry, 44, and her 12-year-old son laughed when they passed a Cadillac where a man’s feet dangled outside the window.

The Cadillac began to follow them, eventually catching up with them as Berry, frightened, pulled over in front of a police car, where the officer told her to back up to his vehicle. Before the police officer could unfasten his seat belt, before Berry and her son could climb out of their vehicle, Robert Washington, 38, who was sitting in the passenger seat of the Cadillac with two handguns, opened fire, killing Berry and severely injuring her son.

The officer returned fire, killing Washington, who was accompanied by Stanley White, 24, who was driving, and Brandon White, 19, in the back seat. They are half-brothers, according to KTLA.

That wasn't my first thought. My thoughts went to something else as I am sure will be confirmed as details come out about this.

Not as it was literally ISIS, but as in similar ideology as ISIS. If you draw a cartoon about me or even look at me funny I will murder you, you get it?

Well, in the case of ISIS they are less concerned with being dissed personally. It's all about forcing people to respect their religion.

At the end of the day it's insecurity.

I just have to address the above quoted posts...Comparing ISIS to American's who just off anyone who offends them is actually rather an embarrassing comment....

Yet American shooters/killers claim afraid for their lives..or felt threatened or whatever..kinda explains a lot of the comments surrounding the need to (sorry right to) bear arms..AS someone might look at you the wrong way..Have to have that AKA because I'm entitled to..or Don't diss me or your DEAD..or Get your dog off my lawn or he's dead..The list goes on and on and on!! ATTITUDE translate into many languages..

Why can't people just move on..Why does anybody feel they have the RIGHT to kill another just "BECAUSE" they dissed me??? It's a big problem and perceptions by outsiders is important...

American's may say to me..keep out of here..Your opinion does't matter.. BUT hey..Guess what?..American's activities and Attitudes DO MATTER..since your Government has to work with the International Community...SMH

I've laughed at the sight of that too. Guess I'd better be careful.

Actually your opinion doesn't matter, at least it shouldn't. I don't care for Barbies, but that doesn't stop the millions of people purchasing them every year. And do I care that people don't care? Hell no. I think that is the idea, we all like different stuff. It's when people act insecure about their own actions, the idea of acceptance and normality. I always find it bizarre that people tend to care what others think of them, instead of just being themselves and doing whatever it is they like to do, as if someone else controls their behaviors, judgments and overall actions.

All that is completely irrelevant to the thread. You're introducing politics and a lot of other things here that don't apply.
