Woman killed over not saying 'thank you'

People are just sick, twisted and stupid:(

I'm in and out of a lot of restaurants while working.

I always hold the door open for people and surprisingly, they almost always hold it for me. Probably mostly due to my senior status:)

here... people just genrally speaking hold the door open for someone whose right behind them or coming in as a person goes out...granted there's a very few who don't hold the door open.. but hey , so what.. we didn't know what reason they didn't so who cares...it's absolutely no biggie...

The Brief:

1. A woman was shot and killed outside a Dallas PetSmart on Tuesday following an argument that started over the suspect not saying "thank you" for a held door.

2. The victim, Cecilia Simpson, was shot multiple times after the dispute escalated into a physical fight in the parking lot.

3. Police have arrested 22-year-old Keona Zachyua Hampton, who is booked into the Dallas County Jail; a bond has not yet been set.

I’m a door holder. If I see someone about to come out of the door I’m walking in, or I see them following me out, I’ll hold it open. 95% of the time they will say thank you. The other 5% when they don’t acknowledge my presence? I shrug my shoulders and keep on with my day. It is not worth losing your life over.

Your thoughts on this?

My thoughts are not to jump to conclusions about where blame lies. I've just read the full account of what happened that is contained in the link in the OP.

The woman for whom the door was opened and who did not say thank you, Keona Hampton, is in my mind entirely to blame for the death of the other woman, Cecilia Simpson. Simpson and her daughter were trying to escape from Hampton who followed them to another location where the shooting occurred. The murder was malicious and also premedicated. That a gun was used is IMO a secondary issue. She might have just as easily used her car to kill Simpson.

Where does all this rage come from?
