This is just so pointless. I want to smack the little shithead, but I’m also wondering if he’s mentally healthy.
I don't think someone who's mentally healthy engages in random antisocial acts like this. Environmental stresses, or physiological issues, driving impulsive antisocial behaviour seem likely to be an underlying issue here.
Like, I get that people by and large like to blame individual actors for shit like this, but these things are almost always driven by chronic family and broader social issues.
That doesn’t excuse this.
