Typically this kind of confrontation is happening at a close enough range that the average dipshit can't draw fast enough before the bouncer's got him, and you'd better believe they're gonna pounce if they think some rear end in a top hat's going for a weapon.

I was going to say it's generally illegal to carry in places that serve alcohol so you don't see armed people getting pissed at the door but then I remembered two years ago when two rappers with a beef ran into each other in the club here and 28 people got shot when their crews went wild west on each other E1: I misremembered and have corrected E2:

Yes, these things happen. Anywhere. Not just in the US. But it's not a normal or regular thing, even with the size and population of the country. That's why the events are noteworthy.

Once while working as a field technician at a drug store (read: wasn't an employee of the store) I was asked by a (well-dressed/groomed middle-aged white male) customer if I could ring him up at the counter I was working behind. Told him I couldn't, and before I could explain why he responded by pulling his windbreaker aside to reveal a shoulder-holstered revolver while asking me to "come again?" The implication there being "you'd better answer the way I expect - or else."

Although I’m not sure of many states that let you conceal carry with no permit? It’s not like this country has any uniform gun control laws or anything 🙄. It’s a little ridiculous TBH. Anyway it’s fuckin dumb.

It's summer. Who gives a gently caress if a kid stays up all night playing video games? That's like the only respite kids have between the terrible and torturous years of school.

MarcusSA posted:A lot of schools are back in session but I agree with you if it’s summer. Man summer went fast  Schools in my area go back on Thursday and the leaves are already doing the yellow thing. It's funny, I thought helicopter parents were bad when I was a kid but at least none of them had cameras all over the house. Like I instantly think anyone with cameras all over the inside of a non-rich and famous mansion is a nutjob. E: also the person with the mom showing obvious signs of dementia/dementia compensation is an idiot. I work with dementia patients and everything dude says is indicating she needs to see a doctor for a diagnosis... I mean, there isn't treatment but at least they can tell the family what to expect. If you have quickly growing memory issues in an older person, it's likely depression. If you have slowly growing memory/ability issues it's likely dementia. Most people will have more than one type of dementia present and symptoms can vary. Scathach fucked around with this message at 01:50 on Sep 4, 2019 |
