Quote #7
"They were drunk on tiswin they'd brewed and there had been shooting in the night two nights running and an incessant clamor for whiskey" (16.49).
As if alcohol weren't dangerous enough on its own, it turns out that Glanton and his men like to fire their guns randomly when they get drunk, which sounds like pretty much the worst idea ever. And as you might expect, they occasionally hit an innocent bystander and kill them. Unfortunately, there's no police force strong enough to take on Glanton's gang. In fact, it seems like most of the time there's no police force at all.
