Can’t say that I disagree with Sunny Smile on this one. Makes you appreicate “Maxium Bob.“
He’s a little boy scout. He burns his neighbor’s trucks and shoots at innocent people, going home from work, or asleep in their houses, but he’s really a great guy. Just a little misunderstood.
He was frustrated with working on his car: of course he needed to shoot at a few people to relieve the stress. They should have had better sense than to get in his way and in the sights of his gun.
Judges like this put each and every one of us in danger when they believe the stories of a monster.
