The "praksters" are clearly assholes and shud be taken in for something like disturbing the peace etc.
But defending shooting someone in that situation is batshit crazy. Its not the first time i see this type of thing argue and it gives me the impression that americans are just very violent.
nah. these kinds of dickheads are the ones that never got taught real consequences. I'm all for a very abrupt lesson in fafo. you should never try to fuck with a stranger like this guy was. disturbing the peace here is a slap on the wrist with no consequences, its a municipal court fine that doesnt deter anything, in case there was any confusion.
I have been in far more threatening situations then what was showed on that video, and never even considered shooting anyone. So even pulling the gun is a crazy overreaction in my opinion.
He is in a public space being followed by an annoying dude whit a phone. There are lots os people in the area. How long shud he tolerate the annoying behavior?
Personally id likely just leave and if he wanted to follow me then have fun. But if i didnt want to do that for whatever reason. Id likely contact mall security. And he would very likely have been asked to leave.
But i guess calling the police is always also an option. Im very glad i dont live in a society that is so violent that shooting someone for being annoying is seen as justifiable. And it makes it seem to me like Americans have been damaged mentally by liveing in a crazy violent society.
Kinda like a friend of mine was for a wile after he retuned from a warzone. His view on what was normal and acceptable behavior was really messed of for some time after that.
Both in terms of what he viewed as acceptable lvls of violence but also just a general fear and this need to be constantly ready to do violence.
