I think I am really sick.
Am kinda slow to remember that Sat, while at the movies.
I've been shopping and going back to the cinema theatre again for
the 2nd show. I had walked along this driveway and the carpark next
to me.
A fat young kid had run away from the cars and hiding behind a car
near to where I walked.
Then I saw a teenager, about 16-18, carrying a gun, pointing 45
degrees downwards and some of his friends was shouting at him to
put that thing away.
I figured its a airweapon, and sure enough, when I walked to teh
fat kid and asked good naturedly, 'Is it a Airgun?'
The kid replied: "yes, but it sure hurts where the thing
hits."
I good naturedly tells him: Well, you are w/o glasses, just make
sure he dont get the pellets in your eyes.
Then I see that teenager finally stuffed that airgun into his waist
and walking to his friends with his hands happily waving in the air
and laughing at his friends. I think his friends arent that amuse
though.
I walked away still in good spirits and thinking it was child's
play.
Somehow, only just now, then I feel outraged, that the teenager was
properly using that airgun to torment/bully the other younger kids
and I had a surge of feelings inside me, wishing that I actually
has a real gun and had actually ordered that Bully to drop the
weapon.
Then I think about the Virginia Univisity shooting, and I really
regretted that I didnt react back then! I could have at least
called the police, have the police stopped these teenagers and make
sure the parents are pulled up for questioning on letting their son
get away with pointing a airgun at ANYBODY!
Something else flashed thru me and I really felt angry at myself,
that I dont have a weapon on me. If I did, that kid would have been
brought down way before the police officers does, and it could
serve a lesson on handling weapons.
Cos I KNEW. That airweapons can be deadly TOO! AND I DIDNT DO
ANYTHING ABOUT IT!
