Is that a cat in your pants, or are you just a lonely excuse for an adult?

I saw a video of the prank guy after the acquittal and he appears to have learned literally nothing.

But now there's a precedent that shooting this guy for being a gently caress is legal so maybe he'll die the next time.

This quote from the article hurts me:

quote:

The April 2 shooting at the food court in Dulles Town Center, about 45 minutes west of the nation’s capital, set off panic as shoppers fled what they feared to be a mass shooting.

It's very sad that this is just a regular fear for us now.

I get how he might feel his life was in danger. In the moment of some crazy person getting all in your face you don't know what they're going to do next.

Anyway, the right thing to do would be public execution of the YouTuber in the town square. :doink:

My wife told me about a shooting last night on our town's main street and the first question I had was, "Mass or targeted?"

Luckily, it was a targeted shooting.

I wonder what they end up doing about it. Because stickers would ‘hurt’ the architectural integrity or something.

Ultimately, they reportedly did just that, applying aesthetically-pleasing-to-design-weirdo stickers around eye level.

Have you heard about First Dog? It's a very good comic I just love.

Also, wear your bike helmets kids. I copped several blows to the head but my helmet left me totally unscathed.



Finally you should check out First Dog as it's a good comic I like it very much.

That third panel of the first comic just makes it. It's still funny if you remove it, but that panel included just makes it top tier.

He's saying people deserve to be killed for intimidating random strangers in real life while filming it for social media.

For what it's worth, I initially thought "yeah there's no way that situation called for deadly force, shooter is guilty" and then I thought about how you really don't know what's going to happen when someone aggressive gets all in your face. I got punched in the face once by a guy that, in retrospect, was probably off his tits on meth and didn't realise I was in a fight until he hit me; I can totally understand someone with more sense/experience than me jumping to "this person means me deadly harm".

And then I tried to crack a bad joke that the correct solution is for the government to execute arsehole prankster streamers so that civilians don't have to, and ate a probe. So, moral of the story is make it much clearer when I'm making a bad joke, I guess?

Anyway, it's fine. Please stop shoving cameras in people's faces and pistols in people's guts. Go in peace.

If you are going around starting poo poo with people in such a way that they think you are attacking them you do not get to complain when they make you stop attacking them.

"I was only swinging hammers at them as a prank!" I weep as the ambulance gurney wheels me away. "I never meant for them to fight back- er, take it so seriously!"

Yeah. This rear end in a top hat's channel included bangers like peeing in stores, several videos of him stealing poo poo, and him demanding blowjobs from random passersby.
He didn't get shot for talking poo poo on twitter.

Ok, look, I think we're all on the same page here, but just to make sure: the guy's a shitbag harassing people for views. That doesn't actually warrant being killed. His behaviour might make a reasonable person honestly mistake him for a legitimate threat to their life, and so in the moment use of deadly force is not unreasonable. Our delivery driver almost certainly did not identify them on sight, weigh up the karmic balance of the idiot's youtube career, and Judge Dredd decide their fate, nor could or should he have. It looks to me like he thought his life was in danger and acted accordingly.

So. Youtuber is a shitsucker who shouldn't harass people and should probably be punished for that by the law. Shooter shot a guy who in actual fact wasn't a threat, but it is reasonable to believe that under pressure they may have believed he was.

Also dickhead got shot, haha bang schadenfreude, and lived to tell the tale.

I think that about covers it, right? Nobody legitimately thinks he shoulda died, we're all just unsympathetic to him being shot, right?
