Thoughts in the morning

So i was up before the sun this morning and started thinking...
What seperates a mass murderer and serial killer from the rest of us?
Cause I can tell you, that there were several times on the way in where I thought someone should die for thier annoyance, arrogance, "need to piss someone off", and general stupidity.
The short answer is:
Anger Control, and the fear of doing time in prison.
I saw 2 incidents this morning where clearly had it not been for law and self control someone would have died, and to top it off the anger reflected in the faces of all involved showed that had they unleasehed themselves more then that person would have felt thier wrath.
The first incident involved a man doing something I see everyday and still confuses and angers me.
At the top of the stairs and escalator at penn st. where HUNDREDS of people are coming up at a time,
why oh why do people feel when they reach the top (especially the escalator) they have the right to stop dead in thier tracks and do things like, make a phonecall, open a map, or just stop and stare?
Do they not realize someone is coming up behind them in that crowd of people they just traveled with?
Well the incident involved a Guy in a Suit checking his blackberry at the top of the escalator
The next few people squeezed around him but one guy decided "screw this" and bumped him....
Blackberry spilling to the floor (at this point I stopped walking to watch but I was off to the side and out of the way)
Suit screamed angry words at Bump guy and thats when I saw it:
The moment where the guy would commit murder had it not been for self control.
As Suit bent to pick up his blackberry the Bump guy approached from his side and proceeded to tell him in 4 letter words how stupid it is to stand at the top of the stairs. Suit stood up to reply but being still in the way (slightly off to the side where his blackberry fell) he was still getting bumped by people.
Suit gave the stare and said "A excuse me is a common courtesy"
Now I saw the look again of murder/death/destruction, but Bump guy gathered himself and just said "Fuck you moron" and walked away still angry.
People would do well to rememmber there is a fine line to them getting a public beating or not...
