Heard on The Judges: "altercating"

[Wilson Gray]

Late twenty-ish, white, female speaker:

"Yes, ma'am, I was at the hospital. But I wasn't on the parking lot,
where they were _altercating_."


-Wilson

All say, "How hard it is that we have to die"---a strange complaint to
come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
