CastlevaniaNut18 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 If you’re black or brown, it’s a pretty good chance. Remember the story from a year or so ago of the Black teenager who missed the bus and knocked on someone’s door and he was shot at by the husband?

Brick Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 I think I vaguely remember that. I don't see how anyone can honestly look at American gun culture, and not think there is a problem, even if they themselves are pro-gun. We always hear about "responsible gun owners", but how many of them are actually, truly responsible? Just because they're not robbing banks, and going on a shooting spree doesn't mean they're responsible. The gun nuts that love to say they need a gun for protection, OK a handgun or a shotgun even I could understand, but a fully auto M4A1? A gun that is designed for urban combat? What kind of enemies are you making that you need a gun like that for protection? "Yeah but what if someone comes in to murder my kids and rape my wife? I need the gun to stop that from happening!" Why are you fantasizing about your family getting raped and murdered, and you killing the bad guys? You're not John Wick going to take down a squad of commando assassins!

I'm clearly not armed, but are they really going to rush out with a shotgun pointed at me telling me to get off their property? 15 hours ago, CastlevaniaNut18 said: If you’re black or brown, it’s a pretty good chance.

Did the guy not even answer the door, he just shot straight through it with a shotgun? That's how I remember it (though I am likely wrong).

There's like 4 square blocks of downtown that have been boarded up/vandalized, the rest of the city is fine. I live within walking distance of the horrible no good very bad war zone. And it's not even dangerous at the "riots" until the cops show up. Just kinda maybe don't walk around downtown with a maga hat on and you're good.
