Not Getting It

Posted on April 19, 2003 in The Orange

Spent the day in traffic school. The worst part of the day came during the question and answer session about road rage. The instructor showed a video of a guy who had filled the car of another fellow with 14 rounds from an automatic, killing the guy’s girlfriend. “What they didn’t mention,” the instructor said parenthetically, “is that he had to reload.”

Some redneck in the back said “What I’d like to know is what the other guy did to make him mad enough to fill the car with fourteen rounds.” The instructor and the majority of the class just stared at the fellow.

I wanted to stand up, point to the guy, and cry to the instructor: “Flunk that man! He’s not getting it!”
