Why Can’t We All Just Get Along?"Recent advances in the neurosciences have established an irrefutable fact: Human beings are emotional, not rational."
This shouldn't surprise anyone when you think about how people use credit cards, how we purchase automobiles, how we enjoy spectator sports, etc. Used to, we were taught at a very early age not to offend anyone. Now it seems as if the rule is, 'speak softly and carry a big stick (or gun or fist, etc). Yalanda Parrish didn't feel threatened when Wesley Mosier approached her vehicle. It was daylight. There were hundreds of people nearby. She was a stop light. She just didn't want to lose face (especially in front of her son). So instead of keeping her window rolled up and her door locked, amd calling 911, she got out and got even. As often happens when we let our emotions get the best of us, she did something stupid that she probably now regrets.
The only reason that the Clark County prosecutor is presenting this to a Grand Jury is out of an overabundance of caution and a fear that the charges criminal charges against Yalanda Parrish might be viewed as racially motivated. Ms. Parrish
will be charged. There is no way anyone can justify her actions Tuesday, June 17th at 10th Street and Allison Lane
under the circumstances. Ms. Parrish decided she wanted to be Ms. Bad @ss that day. In the end, we all have to pay when we lose control of our emotions.
