      Couldn't agree more.  But even back to the fistfight.  What did 
that prove?  I mean, you have a disagreement so there is a fist fight?  
I know you're right because it was in my era as well.  We had a school 
bully and he really enjoyed picking on people.  One time he was doing 
his usual thing and I called him an expletive.  He came back at me and 
in a loud voice said, "if you say that again I'll beat the ______ out of 
you".  I told him I thought he probably could do that.  I told him he 
was bigger than me, stronger than me, and quicker than I was.  But, I 
told him after you have beat the ______ out of me nothing has changed.  
You are still an expletive.  He just walked away.  Point being, 
fighting, shooting, and the like never changes or proves anything.  Now 
not only is there a tragic death in this situation the killer also 
ruined his life as well.  I appreciate your point Greg.
