It wasn't the drop of a hat that caused us do do that to the rigger. It
was him dropping a dime on us, and my character subsequently almost
getting killed by the local authorities. I think that easily justifies
drive-by shootings with assault rifles. Branted, maybee cutting his head
off afterwards was a little gruesome, but...
Besides, I think our state of paranoia has a little something to do with
things like large sealed crates...
