There will be no justice. We all need to buy guns.

Anyone who looks at a situation where nobody died, and thinks it would have been better if people had been killed, is a violent person and a danger to others.

That’s not true, there are plenty of people who if they just fuckin’ keeled over the world would be a better place.

That being said I don’t think shooting into a crowd of teenagers is the solution, though if I was being beaten by a crowd of them I might change my mind. Call me violent but IMO if it came between me and a crowd of fucking cishets, I know my choice.

Either way the guys a nuclear dofus for leaving his car. I mean what are you going to do, fucking scold them?

Look, there are literally two sides here. The situation that actually happened, and the situation you think would have been better.

Nobody died in reality, but your solution involves death, so I guess the real issue here is that you picked a side, and it’s a morally reprehensible one.

If this guy had been armed, he would likely be dead. And some kid would have a new gun.

I mean yeah but like because of the crazy shit the heritage foundation is saying, not because of random teenagers.

Either way, that dipshit escalated the situation himself, but if he didn’t I don’t know that I’d call shooting into an angry mob that’s trying to beat your ass “justice.” Justified maybe, but not justice. That feels like fuel for those weird dudes who jerk off to r/justiceporn.

He got out to yell at some vandals and he got beat. If he could protect himself, the right people would have been punished. The man had his entire life in that car, he was probably not in the best place mentally. Why was that his life? What about him? You seem to be siding with the criminals because the victim wanted to stop a crime.

I’m not saying they where right for beating him, I’m saying getting out of your car and escalating things isn’t helping anything.

If a mob comes to beat your ass, potentially to death, and you shoot someone to prevent it, yeah that’s justified (and probably should be legally), but it isn’t justice. You don’t get to be fucking Judge Dredd, and act like self-defense puts you on some moral high-ground. You are not a stand-in for the legal system, which in and of itself is already incredibly flawed.

If you left your car and started shouting at them like a fuckwit before doing so, you might not deserve the beat down but you did kind of earn it. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. You’re not going to accomplish anything by yelling at that crowd other than painting a target on your back.

Just so I understand your position: Are you saying justice is served when a plastic bottle is thrown at a car (which caused zero damage) should result in the bottle thrower and those with the bottle thrower being shot (possibly to death)?
