I've been shaking my head, it seems, constantly, these days. What is wrong with people these days???? Are we so frippin' short-tempered and out of sorts that we need to just get a gun and shoot someone else who annoys us?? Dammit.
This latest case of the guy who shot the young black man for "loud music" just sends my mind and my good senses spinning. What happened to the days when, if someone was playing their music too loud, we'd just walk over, smile and ask them to turn it down a notch or two??? What fosters such anger that one needs to shoot another??? What is wrong with us??? 
I'm not getting into the politics of the situation, because that's another can of worms that's hard to figure. We can say that racism, guns, is the cause, and it is, all that considered and aside, I'm talking about our R-E-A-C-T-I-O-N response to whatever is bothering us, be it right/wrong/justified/not justified/assholism/decency etc.
People just aren't decent towards one another and it's gotten very, very violent. We're so quick to violence and it's a disturbing trend. We've completely abandoned rational thought and humanity, it seems, and just opted for killing each other. I mean, WTF???? .gif)
My mind spins.
