Any violent deaths are tragic, however, it really gets me to hear of disputes over fast food turning deadly. What’s with people; why do some people have such short fuses, such poor impulse control, especially over something as inconsequential as a hamburger or chicken Mc Nuggets??????

- As a cop I see this often with these people. There a lot of things, Brain development, Behavioral Brakes, medication as a kid, hard drugs et al.

Gets to me that do many have such long fuses and so much impulse control over things as consequential as a coup, insurrection and an engineered disease.

Drug use is often implicated in such cases.

That sort of thing ramps up in a situation such as we have now. The lockdown and limited access to normal entertainment outlets for a long period of time makes large numbers of people testy and quarrelsome and random crap happens more and more. The riots are probably partially attributable to that.

It’s a good question and a fair question but the real answer involves confronting some disturbing home truths about multiple generations who are ill-educated, emotionally incontinent, impatient, lack impulse control, cannot connect cause and effect, and who therefore believe there are no consequences because they cannot conjure them through experience, intelligence or imagination.

Trash culture is a significant and growing portion of all demographic segments. Technology has filtered down to the lowest common denominator meaning the ignorant are as conversant with the world via social media as published writers used to be via books. Trash culture is celebrated, reinforced, perpetuated. Tattoos, TikTok videos, selfies, a life spent in sweat pants.

In those people’s world fast food is a serious thing. It offers stimulus, reinforcement, and a usually reliable timetable even as it’s cheap and non-nutritious. Upsetting their Pavlovian schedule is like tossing someone out of an airplane without a parachute. Disorientation, panic, anger, desperation follow.

The now-common use of potent cannabis, often on a daily basis, has further warped their perception, reactions and permanently altered their brain anatomy and chemistry. Alcohol and opioids are also usually involved.

The result: zombies who may throw random tantrums with deadly results.

they probably aren’t worried about the fast food....they need to feel RESPECTED.

lots of ghetto excuses for violent behavior are about not getting respected

I believe it is illegal...and many times, legal psychotropic drugs are rendering the users incapable of rational thought and behaviour. Includes ethyl alcohol...and even high doses of caffeine. Much more with meth...opiates...cocaine...mdma..synthetic marijuana...the legacy of the psychedelic hippies.
Weak parenting or no parenting is also a factor...
