This is America, we only fantasize about fighting for rights over here.
That's ice cold brother man.
That is entirely dependent on the state you live in, and not all states have the same kind of interpretation.
These are all the fantasies of people who think they're the winner in every single outcome.
LMAO because Americans really care about the conditions that drive people to crime. Solving the issue of poverty solves a lot of crime, but fuck caring about the mental health of those driven to crime. We only care about the mental health of people who are doing well.
I want some of what you're smoking. US society is absolutely fucked.
Your attempt to act like a big man who will always win in a fight and not end up dead yourself trying to protect your pittance of property is hilariously pathetic and ignorant to the world.
Yep. Don’t ever bother with de-escalation when you know no safety net will save you. You have to go all in, or you are left behind, or dead.
I love love love how everyone just assumes they will win these fights and they won't end up dead anyway trying to protect their pittance of property. What a fucking unhinged way to live.
Guess what, you don't always win just because you're in the right.
Classic American, extending their personhood to the items they own. Get a grip, your wallet is not you and you're not defending yourself if it's stolen.
What's wild is I used to work local television news production. I saw how little the reporters and anchors got paid. It's not like they are a completely out of touch class, almost all of them are facing the same kind of problems. That was nearly 20 years ago now, too. Things ain't magically got better for a dead industry that keeps consolidating.
The saddest/funniest thing to me about this whole bit is how every. single. US. person defending their right to righteously beat the shit out of someone for picking their pocket never, ever, even considers the idea that they might lose.
It's just like gun owners in general. They all think they're a perfect shot and the other guy must be like a Storm Trooper in Star Wars and can't hit the broad side of a barn.
Everyone thinks they're the hero and that they don't need cops and laws until they're the one bleeding out in an alleyway on the verge of death because they were stupid enough to "fight back."
US Americans are completely fucking unhinged and live in a fantasy land where somehow every single one of them is the biggest and strongest with the biggest dick and will always win because their cause is righteous. What a crock of shit.
Uh, it slipped away like 25 years ago. Keep up, KTLA.
You're still living in a fantasy land where you're able to successfully pull that off every time this happens and not get your own shit rocked. You're also living in a fantasy land where punching someone a few times while they're down on the pavement and cracking their skull into the concrete won't completely alter their lives, far more than you losing your wallet would alter yours.
Get a grip on reality, dude.
