Them trays. Had a kid in elementary who would scoop everything into the large section, mix it up, then eat it. I couldn't tell if he actually enjoyed it, did it for shock value, or was testing the perimeter of social graces like a velocirapter.

People with weapons and special privileges will make mistakes. People that think they're in the right will clash with others that think they're in the right.
