I'm not sure the acceptance of gun pointing has changed that much since 2019?

It's pretty much only America where "LETHAL FORCE IS NOW MY ONLY OPTION" is a normal line of thought.
I don't want to use deadly force, but if you're coming at me with a gun, demanding cash? Then I'll try to get away, and if you're standing in front of the car, then I can't guarantee that I'll be able to avoid you.

How ironic.
I love irony
Street performers treat audience members differently. I bet he keeps the toy gun holstered for randos, however once someone's entertained by the bit and recording, he can make a robbery joke.
He nailed the drunk personality, although he's probably actually drunk.

Held up at gunpoint.
