Originally I was thinking of violent thugs, but then I came to think that thugs exist in many varieties, like the aforementioned thugs of physical violence, but then also economical thugs or general power tripping thugs abusing power at whatever level they are at. It such a simple and pointless living. I can't understand it.

To me it's amazing how obviously hurt some people are, there are deep emotional traumas they refuse to acknowledge and repair.

It's amazing how one father ignoring his son can affect the world. And it's astonishing watching that son try everything he can to make up for it while not acknowledging the trauma.

Someone blew up a car at my brother's neighbor's house. Like a targeted attack. We were watching some security cam footage my brother was given by his other neighbor, and some guy dressed in all black with a balaclava casually walked down the street at like 3am, checking the license plate of every car in the area (down a back alley, cars parked everywhere), then apparently found the one he was looking for, put something under the car then ran away, and it just fucking blew up in a big fireball and was engulfed in massive flames. It trashed 2 other nearby cars and melted all the vinyl siding up the building.

Like what kind of fuckery could someone get into that would piss someone off enough to call a hit on their car? I can't think of any other reasonable explanation why he would have been checking license plates... What kind of life must these people live.
