I think his mindset comes from a post a week or so ago where he
mentioned a situation re his mother where he was in a car with her
when she tried to stop someone from running a toll and the person
brandished a gun at them -- or something like that. It may have
tarnished him for life and given him a twisted perspective on things.
It actually makes me feel bad for him.
