Spring time

I don't know what it is about this particular time of year, but it seems to me that this is always the really violent time of year. This is when all the big school shootings have happened. This is when many of the bigger attacks on corporate employees happens. Something about this time of year just brings out the psycho and cause them all to go on murderous rampages.
I have also noticed the school children in my neighborhood have been more tempted to try to fight. I have already broken up two fights (both between groups of girls) on my lawn this month. Both times I called the cops to have them come patrol the neighborhood, and it seems to calm things down for about a week.
I have a couple of theories about this:
First, I wonder if it has to do with the end of school, at least for those who go. I remember when I was in high school this was the time when most of the kids really starting getting antsy and trouble was always brewing.
Second, it may also have to do with the fact that the weather gets nice and people have been stuck indoors for so long that they are just restless.
Lastly, I think that people are also getting tired because you have all those breaks during the holiday season, and then suddenly you don't have another break until Memorial Day (unless you happen to get Good Friday off or a Spring Break.) Maybe they should come up with some other holiday that allows people a day off in between. They should call it Day off Day.

I've been stuck indoors all winter and I just can't wait to start my killing spree! I'd go do it during the winter, but my nose might get red.
