Shooting to Relax

I read in the newspaper that a couple of people were shot while driving on the freway in Oakland. There's no lead on the shooter. The police suggested it was not a random shooting.

The incident made me think of some guys who told me that when they would get angry they would pull out their guns and shoot in the air or at cars. They said the firing of the gun relaxed them. They were animated when they shared their stories with me. I was terrified inside. I wondered how many people felt the same way they did. The fact that anyone can be a victim of such senseless random shootings is a reality in society. That's a scary fact that cannot be ignored.

Heads up.
