Of the tragic incident, Founding Attorney of 1.800.NoCuffs Darren Kavinoky says, “It’s a sadly consistent element of the holiday season that with more crowds, more lines, and more expense, we see more road rage and shootings.”
“What a great time of year for people to practice yoga, meditation, or something as simple as counting to 10, rather than pulling out a gun to solve what they believe is their problem,” adds Kavinoky. “The real problem often lies between our ears and the fact that we as a society love to carry guns with us everywhere we go.”
“If we can deal with the real issues,” Kavinoky concludees, “rather than merely the symptoms, perhaps we can break the cycle of violence that resembles rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.”
