* DidNotThinkThisThrough: Goes hand in hand with his other issues like IJustWantToBeBadass and NiceJobBreakingItHero. He pretty much never thinks about the long-term fallouts of his decisions. A particular example is the delusion that using a stun-gun on Hernandez in front of the rest of Emerald City will earn him the respect he's been craving. It of course has the opposite effect, with Wrangler and Pierce making fun of him with their own reenactment of the stunt.
