Stepping in if you're in the US means a good chance of being shot.

If anything sketchy is going on anywhere I immediately leave (and call the cops if something is bad enough), and I don't hang around to get shot by the cops.

Note that they mentioned “pay phone”. That was a time pre getting shot over nothing. The good old days.

Those days have always existed. We just have better optics on it now.

No, they definitely didn’t exist like they do today. Always existed but not nearly at the same frequency.

The conversation is about cops executing people, not mass shootings.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Their first statement didn’t specify who was shooting.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

They did, actually. They mentioned both the police and the abuser. Still no mention of mass shootings, though.

The real world is not an internet chat room. The vast majority of Americans aren't carrying guns.

I have 2 friends that got robbed at gunpoint.

A significant portion of the population in red states is concealed carrying too.

people in chat rooms can't shoot me. People IRL can.
