The man's going to give me $5.

And when he turns suddenly and he assumes a combat position and, to use his own words, lays down a pattern of fire and takes out first Troy Canty in the chest, then Barry Allen in the back as he is running, then James Ramseur through the arm and the bullet goes into his lungs as he's trying to flee, he misses Daryl Kabe.

And the most chilling part of this story is that he then walks over to Daryl Cabe, who at this point is cowering on his seat.

And, you know, not a single one of these teenagers was taller than a five feet six.

These are slight, small teens.

And he's sitting there cowering and he says, you look all right.

Here's another.

And he shoots him point blank range, severing his spinal cord.

So he is immediately paralyzed.

And that story will grow far grimmer when he then has a terrible episode of pneumonia because, of course, if you don't have the muscles thanks to paralysis, your lungs do not clear as easily or regularly.

He has pneumonia.

He goes into a life-threatening coma.

and emerges brain damaged.

And it is an incredibly poignant story of what the wreckage of allowing rage to be unleashed really looks like.

He is confessing to everything he did audaciously, aggressively, and it all comes down to, for him, he didn't like the look.

in Troy Canty's eyes, or as he put it, the gleam in his eye.

And he ultimately decides not to go over there and gouge his eyes out after he's already shot him in the chest because he had changed the look in his eye.

Well, the look in his eye was terror.

And bewilderment.
