[QUOTE="Negative Zero, post: 1786658, member: 3794"] yeah, he did point the gun at other characters. but just coz Said was Republican Guard doesn't make him a hijacker, so i wouldn't be so quick to call the gun toting character "right" about him. now, you're right, we didn't see him throw the first punch, however, he does clearly goad him on. i chose my words poorly, "no one's safe with a gun around" should have read something more like "Kate could have felt that even after taking the gun away from him, he could still have gotten/taken/stolen it back at some point." ergo the whole "no one is safe" idea (which was meant to read more as her idea. then again, we don't know her story yet, other than she was a recently caught fugitive. from her actions/comments, i don't get the impression that she's a "criminal" per se (in the broad evil-doer sense of the word); rather more of a person pushed to a criminal act, who resents having to do the act but not the actual doing of it. sort of like the woman who murders her rapist sort of thing. so, again, i wouldn't call gun-guy "right" about her just yet either. plus, i never got the impression that he was supposed to be a redneck. he just seems bitter and angry to me. i'm pretty sure it has the world to do with that letter he was reading. i figure it either has really crappy news and he's acting out his frustrations, or it has really great news and he's pissed he can't get to it. people deal with trauma in many different ways. ~NegZ [/QUOTE]
