Nevermind the racial part.

Your scenario actually highlights a good point, what kind of society do we want to live in? Some western everyone for them selves, shoot first talk later, or do we want to live in a civilized society?

My belief is that guns in general make us less safe. Both of the individuals in this story would be safer if neither had any guns. As well as the entire neighborhood, would also be safer without guns.

I’ll take the civilized society please. Unfortunately I seem to be surrounded by people who think they’re the badass, and they advocate for their ideal Wild West shoot first world from the comfort of their suburban home.

They always live in the dullest suburb.

Yes I’m sure this rant is based on reality and not just matching the pattern of “classic anti freedom rant sequence #63”

“They’re stupid people”

“And they’re dumb!”

“And I bet they eat their boogers”

“They totally do”

Deep thoughts indeed

That's what I was point out when Rittenhouse got away with murder. We are building a last man standing justice system.

What’s a “last man standing justice system”?

[–] afraid_of_zombies 3 points 7 months ago

I legally provoke you, me and you fight, I kill you, and get off from self defense.

Nevermind the racial part.

Yeah I don't think I will... This isn't happening in a vacuum.

It's not but he was making the point that you don't even need to have that aspect included and it's still coming off terribly
