So when you walk out and see a stranger verbally harassing your wife/gf/daughter you’d just politely ask him to leave?
That’s because people don’t trust clinical psychologists in this country. There is a stigma around therapy. You can’t fake a ‘mental exam’ especially as a child. Professionals can recognize warning signs at an early age and get involved. But 99/100 parents won’t believe their little Johnny needs help
This is Florida we are talking about. He's going to walk.
I think Florida is the flaccid penis of America.
Interesting choice of words.
Don't underestimate Ohio.
Gotta say, I agree with this. Yelling never killed anyone. Somebody puts their hands on you, all bets are off. You wanna be a tough guy and push somebody down over a difference of opinion then you are enlisting for trouble. Every disagreement in our society doesn't justify pushing someone to the ground, punching someone. The pusher overreacted. The shooter overreacted. The shooting was a reaction to getting pushed. Before the push they were just words.No, I am saying exactly what I said. Stop trying to put words in my mouth. The dude that died instigated the physical assault. That is on him. You would hope any man would "defend" his wife or girlfriend by shoving an old man aggressively to the ground?An old man that isn't doing anything but verbally bitching about some asshole parking in a handicapped spot? OK...
Both played stupid games. Both won stupid prizes. They both won by finally getting the cred for who they portrayed themselves to be; "badasses".Agree w/ the underlined. and I'm sure the guy in heaven is saying, "god damn it, I should have never pushed that guy".
The guy in jail got his feeling hurt by being emasculated while trying to be the tough guy. F'ing coward. Lets see what happens when he gets "pushed on" in prison.
Yea, almost like he gets off trying to get people to start stuff so he can shoot at them. Dude is a POS and should be in jail for life
Yeah, I read up on this story when it first happened. A bunch of people that had encountered that guy at that gas station had a lot to say (edited to add a video I just found where a guy talks about past run ins with the shooter). He's a real asshole and loves to start shit.
Looking at the situation, there were two very young kids snd a woman in the car. If that guy was saying nasty things to them and berating them, I can't blame the guy for coming out and shoving him. That shouldn't land hm in a grave, it's not like he was coming after the shooter with a weapon.
I don't disagree. But for every badass, there's going to be somebody that tries to dethrone him.
So you think it's okay to end someones life over a shove?
No, but the shooter did, which is my point; keep your hands in your pockets. You never know who you might be shoving. Poor choices all the way around.
I don't think he's agreeing with it being ok to shoot someone, because they shove you. More like, all bets are off, because youndont know the mental stability of the person you are shoving.
Well, I think you misread my post.
This is a good post. It would be nice if there was a way to determine who can have a gun. Not sure there is a real solution to it. Pulling the weapon might have stopped the escalation. Not sure why the dispute had to become physical in the first place.
Some guy who thought he was the handicap police started screaming at the guys girlfriend. Do you know how many people use handicapped spots who aren’t actually handicapped? It’s a lot, man. Old guy should have just minded his own business. Now he’s in jail.
