Community, this morning I see a lot of Anti-gun and Anti-stand your ground sentiment. I think it's unfair to bring what this woman did with her gun to the conversation. We should feel more empathy for her situation in that moment. She felt threatened and she dealt with that issue the way she was trained.

As a Fuck Cars community we need to focus on this situation as an example of how the car creates animosity between people. If both individuals arrived there in a different form of transportation, they may have not crossed paths like this. However, because it was in a car it created friction. I experience this friction in my day to day life and that's why I hate cars. Please let's focus on that as a community, let's focus on how the automobile divides us, makes us angry, tears apart our community. That's the point of this post, IMHO.

Thank you, and I'm sorry for arguing all morning. Good day.

Ok but stand your ground is still an idiotic policy.

Car orientated development is more idiotic ✌️

It just reveals that gun nuts are just scared cowards.
