JT was never provoked to engage in his behavior or outbursts. He synthesized decisions based upon his interpretation of stimuli.
The Good Guys only responded to JT's inappropriate behavior, albeit on the edge of excess.
Obviously they were ignoring him, egging him, or roughing him up.
They have just as much interest in JT leaving and never returning to their company as JT should have in leaving.
The idiot should have taken a hint and left -
assuming that he was a rational person, which clearly he wasn't.
I don't expect young adults to be quite this perceptive.
Frankly, I doubt most mature adults are.
And this is exactly where our culture drops the ball on mental health issues.
We want people that don't make good decisions to - make good decisions.
Now, how stupid is that?
Yet, that's pretty much what most "sane" people do.
Then these kids, and sometimes adults, return to the campus or workplace to demand attention with firearms.
Well, golllllly. Ain't that a shocker!
There's a film out I'd like to eventually get around to seeing:
BEAUTIFUL BOY
I think it addresses the broader scope of the position some "JT"s find themselves.
The Good Guys may actually be quasi-good guys, but our society doesn't have a very effective leadership in addressing people between two overt groups, good or not-as-good.
