horns vs umbrellas

2023-03-09 02:00:03.426195+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

A driver leaning on a horn or invading an occupied crosswalk is qualitatively different from a man yelling and waving an umbrella. Umbrellas are sharp, but most umbrellas, even in the hands of an angry person, are not weapons. But every car is a weapon when the engine is on.
