Don't know about you at 17/18, but I wasn't sitting on a lottery ticket where my every movement had the chance to impact my outcome.
And also related to the HS comment, it's mostly aimed at folks on here who still would have this mentality.

I guess we're seeing two different things here. I'm not seeing posters in here acting with a 'high school' mentality or using a tough guy narrative, we're just viewing it from the perspective that he's an 18 year old kid in a heat of the moment situation, with alcohol involved. Many of us are just being honest in acknowledging young people can do stupid things and some of us have done similar stupid things as well.
