I think Ferris took everything out of proportion and all he did to Ricky was just bump into him and Ricky just reacted. Plus, he probably didn't have a reason to kill him. He tried to find a reason to kill him because the guy was just bored. Like Doughboy said in that one scene, the guy had nothing better to do.
All I need is one mic...
Of course.
Regina King's character said that Ferris was always "trying to find an excuse to shoot somebody" so it seemed like something he did regularly.
The idea though was that the violence was senseless, one of the points of the movie.
It was also done to hurt Doughboy, seeing how Ferris and Doughboy were enemies. Ricky just happened to be a victim of circumstance.

It's an American thing. Look at all the wars the U.S. has been in when they have not been attacked since Japan in 1941. Michael Moore summed it up well in Bowling for Columbine with the cartoon featured in that movie, A Brief History of USA:

bootblack, you lost all credibility by taking anything that Michael Moore says seriously, Moore is a liar and manipulator and his "documentaries" are fiction, Moore even admitted he re words/takes out of context what people say just to make his one sided point.
shareMichael Moore, lol. Get out of here.
shareIsn't senselessly murdering anyone kind of an overreaction?

I would say it was definitely overkill.
"Freedom and morality do not go hand in hand. In fact, they are usually devoid of one another."
Man I thought the same thing... I thought A LOT of the reactions and character decisions were weird and forced in this movie.
Look at that turtle go bro!
Sweet, Yertle replied!
Ferris definitely overreacted, but I wouldn't call it unrealistic since I've known of people with similar mindsets who feel the need to react violently to any slight hint of disrespect.

I've met people like that too often.
Nothing with guns where I live. But people with "attitude" will walk the street and expect you to move 100% out of their way, forcefully bumping you into the walls, if you don't. Imagine a crowded st and only way for two people to pass is if both slowly turn sideways to avoid shoulder bumping each other.
These people with attitude problems will deliberately steel their bodies and bump hard into you. And then swear at you for not watching where you are going.
I think its their way of venting frustration. Looking to be physical, intimidating, verbal and hopefully even escalate it to point where they can beat someone up, if they reply back.
Ricky deserved it. He was a stupid baby maker who had to rely on football because he was an idiot who couldn't do anything else of value.

Yep. But I feel like the 90s were peak real world overreaction. I grew up in the 90s and a lot of conflicts were born just from a single diss. You had to watch out who were you talking to. There were no online profiles then, so people really took a LOT of effort into creating their profile in how they acted spontaneously with others. So if someone's profile was threatened on the spot, that was everything.
Now everyone overreacts over twitter instead irl (not sure if that's better lol)...unless you're ordered to stay indoors for 3 months, and then an unprovoked murder by a cop sends you and every American city over the edge 😬
