Stupid Decisions Lead to Impulsive Actions
My friend Austin Cope and I attended the girls’ softball tournament last year during spring break. After the game was over Olivia, Mary, Maddy, Cope and I were standing around talking and we decided that we were going to go out to eat at Chilis’. We were all in different cars so we were going to meet somewhere to drop off the cars and all ride together. Cope needed to get gas so I went to the gas station with him and when he was done, he had the great idea to race to the meeting point. I do not even know why I listened to Cope, but I did.

His wife was screaming at him to get back in the car. We immediately rolled up our windows as he got to our trucks. The husband was furious! He was screaming saying that we could have hit them and they had kids. He then hit Cope’s window. I was freaked out by this. His wife was calling for him to just come back and stay in the car. Cope rolled his window down a little bit to try and talk to the guy. The husband would not calm down. He then threatened to shoot us. His exact words were “If I had my gun on me right now I would blow y’all’s brains in!” At this point I was about to through my truck into drive and hop the curb in front of me. I was going to get out of there. The husband eventually stormed off back to his
