It would be better if they were dead. Like, everything he touches withers and dies. Jesus, that's one scary looking individual. It's only missing the caption "You lookin' at ME?"

Scary? No. Sorry, but it takes more than a punk with a gun to scare me. Does he look a lunatic? Yes. Would I provoke him? Hell no, because anything can set these people off.

That's why people use % based comparisons.

I don't think he looks scary or like a lunatic. I think he looks like a pathetic little f*ck who thinks he's knows what's best for the world. I hope he gets fried.

It don't work like that. There is criteria for owning a gun. The problem is, I can call 3 people and buy a gun off the street right now (at 6:49 am no less) Or I can go to a gun show and buy an unregistered weapon from the right vendor if I so choose. Also the problem isn't the responsible people who own guns its the lunatics that know they can also hit up that same vendor or those 3 people I know or whatever so there is no way for the government to see if these people have diminished capacity.

Also man, I can walk though any hood in the US and not have any problem whatsoever. (I have lived in various hoods in the Us, North South East and West.) People are not looking to see what color you are, or if you are armed they are looking for weakness. And weakness is what gets you jumped, shot, or robbed. If you are aweare of your surroundings and don't look down like litterally walk down MLK with your shoulders back, and head up, and acknowledge the people playing bones on the corner with a How you doin you aint got **** to worry about, people are fear based beings and predatory in nature, and if you puff yourself up like a blow fish its all mental. Im not saying there isn't the possibility of being in crossfire or the wrong place at the wrong time, but if your body language radiates don't **** with me your ok 97% of the time. I know this because I have walked through some ****ty neighborhoods alone at three am and been ok, every time. And there isn't really much that is intimidating about me. I am 5'7 medium build woman. I mean if anyone is a target at that hour should be me, but nope, **** its so mental even a pitbull won't swing on me.


honestly, this is terrible advice imo

true enough, people in the ghetto do look for weakness

but guess what? humans are pattern seeking animals, which means that your weaknesses aren't as easy to conceal as you might think

they do notice your race

the way you are dressed

the way you behave

and anything of value that you make readily apparent

in the neighborhood that i lived at down in fl thugs would rob guatemalan immigrants on a regular basis because it was well known that they were usually illegal and would be doing day labor for cash, thus walking home on a friday with a pocket full of money (no bank account). kids would look for them, spot one that is on a back street/somewhere not too busy, then ambush him and beat him senseless, take whatever cash he had. happened on a pretty regular basis... people call guatemalans 'walking atm machines' down there.

also i knew people who told me straight up if they saw a white person walking by themselves at night they'd target them cause more likely than not they have an iphone or some **** like that to take

try puffing your shoulders out as you walk down their block to protect yourself from being a victim... they'll just take that as a challenge & yet another reason you have an X on your back

i'm sure you've walked down many hoods though roxy, i don't doubt that, but you're female, black, and probably didn't look very much out of place tbh. but i guarantee you that you could get touched just like anyone else... if you happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time unarmed and with something of value

You know what's sad? Why are those pictures so shocking after the crime he committed? Someone should've seen the pictures long before what he did and got him help.

I don't see anything wrong with the picture. There are tons of narrow-minded assholes like him. They don't blow away innocent people.

He's actually practicing safe gun etiquette in the picture - his finger is not in the booger hole.

But yeah, sick **** alert for sure.
