(18,035 posts)Kid rings the doorbell. Dude shoots him. Doesn't say "Who's there?" or even "Go away!" first, just opens fire, right through the dsmbed storm door. Because what could be more threatening than a kid ringing your doorbell? 😱
Car pulls into a driveway. Whoops, wrong driveway. Starts to back out. Dude shoots, because what could be more threatening than a car leaving your property? OMG, terrifying! 😱
Teenage girl gets in car. Oops, wrong car. Starts to get out. Dude shoots without even saying, "Get the hell out of my car" first, because omg, scary, scary teenage girl! 😱
Basketball accidentally rolls into neighbor's yard. Dude shoots several members of a family, including a freaking 6 year old, because omg, what could be more threatening than a rolling ball and a *gasp* 6 year old? Must shoot because ball might have a bomb inside? 6 year old might be armed and dangerous? Omg, omg, omg! 😱
I haven't even checked to see if there's been another one today, but it's too late anyway. I'm already terrified..... of people who think it's okay to shoot anyone and everyone who comes near them for no freaking reason. Even if they lock up all the aforementioned shooters and throw away the key, there are plenty more like them! So OF COURSE we're all on edge, ffs!
