What's A Sweetheart Like You Doing In a Dump Like This?

I apologize in advance, this post is not really going to make too much sense I don't think and there's no real structure.

Today, something happened that had quite an impact on me. Today I saw a man get killed over something so stupid, a 5 year old could have resolved the issue. I've really mixed feelings about the whole incident, shock, anger, depression, sadness, disgust, sympathy, anxiety, stress...etc. It's really made me think about life, and family, and how angry people can get over the stupidest things and not think about their actions. It all happened when I was walking by the shop up our street. There were two trucks parked in the street, with construction workers pulling down some scaffolding off of a building. On the other side of the trucks, there was a man who seemed to be getting rather upset that these two trucks were blocking off one lane of traffic (it was easy enough for him to drive around) I chuckled as I went into the shop, '' Oh those English people, so angry.''
So I went in to the shop and bought my 4pints of milk and walked out to the street. The man was still getting angry and was throwing bits of bricks at one of the construction workers. The construction worker just ignored him and continued working. By this time someone had called a police officer and she was approaching the scene, when the guy who was throwing bricks got in to his car, put it in reverse ( we all thought'' yay he's going away!''), then started going forward very fast and hitting the construction worker. It was the most horrific thing I'd ever witnessed. I immediately felt sick to my stomach, and nearly threw up. His body was like a slinky when it went over the car, then his head cracked into the pavement and immediately crimson filled the street. It was terrible. I can still picture it, and I'm afraid if I go to sleep that's all I'll see. I was so close. I could feel the shake of the ground when his head hit. I could see the gaping whole in his head, and then the immediate pool of blood. I had to stay around, as a witness, with about 15 other people. And now I'm sitting here with that horrible image in my mind, and it won't go away. I feel so sorry for that poor construction worker, he was just doing his job. He didn't even try to argue with the man, he just kept working. I don't know, I don't understand how you could get so angry over something so stupid. Gah! It's terrible.
