...you don't know. Coulda been like this in a subway or it coulda been two people fighting over a parking spot. Sometimes people get so full of themselves they start making aggressive moves toward a stranger who they have no knowledge of.

This is a great way to court the most unexpected, horrible outcome.

And that looks like exactly what the lady, the guy who stabbed her and probably dozens of people around them got.

If the second account listed in post #168 is correct and the woman smacked the lighter out of his hand or struck him without any sort of reasonable reason to...well, the guy who stabbed her, nomatter how many prior arrests he might have, could possibly get off scott-free and she could wind up the one in trouble.

People can be real asses to each other and that's putting it mildly. But when you really go slapping around someone or grabbing someone or threatening someone, you should totally be prepared to fight for your fucking life and kill them with your bare hands if you have to- OR JUST LET IT GO, MOVE ON, AND FORGET IT.

Because you don't know if the person you're taunting just took a handfull of PCP or you remind them of the person who raped and beat them and their mom every day- whatever. You just don't know. They could have a damned revolver slung under each armpit. Is it really worth finding out? Why roll the dice on a deal like that?
