In any day and age your pretty much asking for trouble when you do anything to another person. Throwing a butt back in someones face, cutting someone off on the road. Its not this generation, but almost any generation going back to the days when we climbed out of the muck and dropped our tails in the sand.

But it just seems that over the last little while, especially in the major cities, people are a lot quicker to anger, retailiate, bully whatever. Maybe its stress.

At the same time, people need to realized before they drop knuckles, that there's a pretty good likelyhood that at the end of the day you could be sitting in a jail cell awaiting charges, or brain damaged, crippled, or dead.

Fights are incredibly dangerous and if you get in one, a clean shot to the head via a punch or kick or sucker punch could pretty much get your lights put out if you can't or won't defend yourself.

At the same time, the victim here was foolish, not because he necessarily did the wrong thing, but throwing a butt into someone's car without knowing who that person is, is really foolish.

What if there had been kids in the car and one of them had been burned? Or some goof with a knife or a gun, or someone with a boyfriend who knows what he's doing?

Discretion is the better part of valor. Save your confrontations for when you really have no choice but to confront, but you can somewhat control the situation.
