    I saw two stories today that are classic examples of overreacting to stress:

    CCTV Caught Gun-Toting ‘Massacre’ Millionaire Torching Mansion, With Dead Family Inside

    FOXNews.com - CCTV Caught Gun-Toting ‘Massacre’ Millionaire Torching Mansion, With Dead Family Inside - International News | News of the World | Middle East News | Europe News

    Ohio Teen Shot Dead After Egging Cars


    FOXNews.com - Ohio Teen Shot Dead After Egging Cars - Local News | News Articles | National News | US News

    According to the story about the Ohio teen, another teen was shot after a group of boys he was with egged a car. Based on statistics, I can definately say that it is NOT a good idea to egg cars in the Columbus area.

    It's a real shame that a 'heat of the moment' reaction can be so terrible and final in both cases. :pity:

    I had my car egged last Halloween. And while I didnt consider shooting the little bastards, introducing their faces to the pavement did cross my mind. I did walk outside with a bat (in my boxers) and yell a few things that the TOS would prohibit however.

    Just shows how mad you have to be to kill someone in the heat of the moment. Id just woken up from a dream involving sexual acts and was grumpy as hell. If I didnt kill those kids then, Id never be able to.

    calphin deadly at 250 yards!!

    Okay, in the first story, if the man wanted to die rather than lose his 6 acre spread, he should have killed himself, but why kill the wife and daughter. The daughter especially is an innocent victim, and didn't deserve to die due to her parents misfortune. Burning down the house is one thing, murder-suicide is something else.

    As for the boy being shot in the head, its tragic. Should he be punished, probably so, but to shoot him, is just plain crazy. The person that shot him should now face a homicide charge. A simple call to 911 or the local police would have sufficed, but he decided to take the law in his own hands, and create a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

    Wow that is crazy. I don't know what would cuase anyone to do either one of those things.

    I wonder if the kid egging ppl didn't do something else. However shooting him still not right. Sad.....
