15. Show a wanton disregard to another human being.
Sun Nov 17, 2024, 01:03 PM
Nov 2024

I once watched a group of young guys walking across a city walkway and approach a set of stairs. The second one started to go down as the first one hit the landing and turned. The guy behind him suddenly shoved him down the stairs. He and all his friends thought it was hilarious. The guy who was pushed was pretty mad, but was unhurt. The first guy was indifferent to it all.

I thought about strolling over and cracking open the guy's skull with my police baton. (Usually concealed on my person in non-local areas.) That kind of thing is not funny and the brat deserved to be reamed out for doing it. The others deserved to be yelled at for being so indifferent to such a dangerous act. And, I bet they still think that guy is their friend.
