Does anyone remember the TV images of a prominent national leader, firing an AK-47 (by the obvious 'kick', they weren't blanks) into the air over his adoring? crowds? He is dead now, dragged from his spider hole, put on trial, then quickly hanged (far different from the perpetual 'trials' system in the USA). Saddam Hussein ring a bell? That 'shooting into the air' thing in a person's psyche, can apparently lead to other anti-social tendencies, even atrocities?
