Is it just me or are arguments escalating higher than they used to?
A good example is the following news story, which took place in Louisville, Ky.:
>>LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB Fox 41) — Police say a woman involved in an argument at a Louisville Pizza Hut raised the stakes considerably when she tried to pull a sword.
It happened Thursday night, shortly after 9 p.m. at the Pizza Hut on 7th St. Rd., near Dixie Hwy.
According to an arrest report, police were called to the restaurant after they received reports that 29-year-old Wynika Mason was “causing trouble.” When they got there, she allegedly began yelling at the officers.
An employee told the officers that, shortly before they arrived, Mason began yelling at him and told him that she had a sword on her person. The employee said that Mason, “began to raise it out of the sheath” when her brother seized it from her and put it in their vehicle outside.
Police say Mason told them that she did indeed have a sword and it was still in the vehicle. Officers recovered the sword, according to the arrest report.
Officers say customers and employees were both inside the Pizza Hut when the events occurred, and that the employees, “felt threatened by her behavior.”
Mason was charged with disorderly conduct and menacing.<<
Sounds almost like Michonne from The Walking Dead. Yikes!
You know, if you are in an argument and it gets serious, walk away. Things will look a lot less terrible in just a few minutes, I believe.
Speaking of Michonne, here’s a video of Walking Dead artist Charlie Adlard drawing her during a comics festival in Illzach, France.
