We all know when and where violent acts happen. The newspapers are often very informative. What is often absent, however, is the 'why' of the violent acts.
Some pretexts are obvious and fairly predictable...
- you fv..ked my wife
- you owe big money to a local drug dealer
- you walked into a Brighton slum wearing a Palace shirt
- you are blasting your stereo at 4am
- starving prisoners fighting over the last slice of bread.
- Violence associated with robbery, wills, or other money motives.
- Rape and other sexual violence.
- working as a nightclub bouncer or Parking inspector.
- a scuffle amongst competitors doing any sport.
This thread is particularly seeking obscure, unpredictable and crazy pretexts for violence.....Real World examples - not fiction. To prove the point that often people get nailed and really didn't see it coming.
Please avoid Wars and big Mass political violence - for the purposes of this thread. Focus only on personal individual tiffs.
for openers
- Leon Trotsky made a bid for Leadership of the Bolshevik party
- A prisoner was murdered in Cork, 2015 in an argument over a TV remote control
- A bloke was murdered for looking like somebody who had jumped a queue at a Supermarket
- Being a gay woman on a London bus when a yoof-gang is nearby.
- Lee Rigby .....it was the uniform and/or the day-job that was used as the pretext.
- Serving Beef in your restaurant.
- Speaking Breton at a French primary school. In Brittany.
- Living next door to a nutter at a retirement home.
- Standing on a stage and cracking a few jokes.
- Momentarily blocking an aisle on a London train.
What others ? Includes Major violence or even a small slap on the wrist.
