A high school in my hometown also dealt with bomb threats a couple years ago. Someone would call an anonymous tip line and leave a threat and as a result the school would be closed that day. This happened more than a dozen times that school year. Eventually investigators managed to track the threats to a student. Can’t imagine what kind of toll that does to the students of the school.
I mean it’s happened enough that I don’t think anyone ever believes it’s a real threat, and they get a day off school. They’ve caught one student so far, but apparently he’s not the only one. But yea, just kind of a shitty situation all around.
The thing is the gun causes the thing its supposed to prevent. Like if I were to describe to you a scenario where you say 'a man won’t leave someone’s property so a guy gets a gun to defend himself. The guy the fires warning shots which the other guy ignores. The other guy the charges the guy and tries to wrestle his gun away from him. The guy fends the other guy off and the shoots him.
Described like that then it sounds like a good case of self defense, but in the context of the video, the odds that any one would die in that video except for the gun being introduced is like 0%. Petty bullshit custody fist fights happen all the time all over the world.
The guy won’t get arrested and he’ll get off scott free, but that’s the situation we’ve created
What the actual fuck. I’ve seen plenty of videos of people being shot, but the complete disregard for human life here is still utterly shocking. I just can’t wrap my head around thinking that is the appropriate course of action to take, and then actually taking it.
That shooting if fucking insane. I can’t imagine acting like that other dude when a guy has a gun though. Someone starts waving a gun around and it’s time to move on.
