Fargo

Most things get bad when they get personal.  Like injury.  Like personal injury.  Before that injuries aren't that bad.  Like an impersonal injury.  Say, for example, my neighbor who I don't know well gets hurt, I think that falls under an impersonal injury.  Many times less inconvenient than a personal injury.  Like in Fargo, when Carl gets put into the wood chipper?  That's a very personal injury for Carl.  It's about as bad as it can get for him.  Now for Gaear it's not as personal.  In terms of an injury, Gaear is doing pretty good.

Of course there are different types of injuries, not all physical.  And Gaear may be experiencing a great trauma in an emotional type way.  Could be very emotionally damaging.  After all he is going to jail it would appear, and that has been known to traumatize a person.  There is isolation, and new people, and violent people potentially, and of course non-violent people can quickly become violent people in extreme enough circumstances.  It's just a matter of needs.  I mean generally speaking violence for most people isn't a rational solution.  They see a myriad of other solutions that are more tempting and rational than violence.  But for most if not all, at some point violence may become very rational.  Protection of family, or protection of self.
