    I know everyone loves when YouTube pranksters get whats coming but shooting someone over a mild annoyance is never a good thing. This is why america seems fucking nuts to anyone that doesn’t live there.

        Yes. Your country has a shit reputation because of the gun cult, the shootings, the constant war mongering, the blatant racism and homophobia, and the Christian lobby that fuels all of the above.

        Being the world’s economic leader doesn’t mean your internal policies can’t be shit, grow up.

        When Trump was visiting foreign countries, they literally flew giant ballons mocking him lmao.

      Somebody approaching you, even though you’re trying to move away and telling them to stop, is not a “mild annoyance”. It’s dangerous because weapons are so freely available. It would be better if they weren’t, but while they are, you shouldn’t do something like this.

        It’s not enough to shoot someone in any civilised country.

        It’s important to realize that the confrontation lasted 30 seconds. That’s the amount of time he waited before almost killing someone.

        He wasn’t being chased in a dark alley or stalked for half a hour, someone played loud noises in his face and it took a total of 30 seconds for him to decide to shoot someone over it. Literally insane.
