    I thought you where just joking.

    This can only be a life threatening situation in a country that normalises carrying murder tools.

    I bet in Europe a threat would be “i will call the cops because i know i am in my rights” and those cops are just going to do their boring administrative job and not murder you.

    I don’t blame the woman in context of it being America but the rational response is you get back in your car, lock the doors, possibly drive and call the cops about a dangerous mentally ill person.

      Call the cops while you have a gun and a white guy who will tell his side of the story first. Sure bud, that will work out exactly like you imagine.

          He followed her through a store. He would follow her with his car. Uncontrolled rage, which he had, has no bounds. I would not be surprised if he’s just racist and seeing her skin color made him even angrier. Probably watches fox news all day or listening to podcasters telling him how ‘welfare queens’ are the problem in the world. Point is, there is probably nothing this lady could have done to calm that fucker down. “Army veteran” oh yeah fuck that guy. Killing brown people is probably entertainment for him. Rest in piss fuck face, hope you burn in hell. Glad she shot him dead. Hopefully got justice for a lot of families abroad.

            Nowhere does it say he followed her trough a store, or that she ever entered the store.

            “DiGuglielmo inexplicably abandoned his car in the through lane of travel" and went into the store, before shortly returning to his vehicle”

            It is definitely possible that he is a racist, i honestly do get the same vibe. But where just reading a barebones article with many unanswered questions. Making suck assumption is very easy from where we stand.

      Is it though? Let’s see if you have money in the EU and someone approaches you with a threatening manner what will happen? Your security will neutralize the threat.

      If you’re a government official and someone walks up to you in a threatening manner what will happen? Your security will neutralize that threat.

      If you’re a regular person and someone walks up to you in a threatening manner what will happen? You will be stabbed to death and if you fight back it’s racism

        Neutralise yeah but not with guns or permanent bodily harm. Hold you on the floor till the cops come maybe.

        I don’t think many people have full time security in Europe though, not even politicians.

        Harassment is like trowing a stinky egg or yelling. You will get fined for doing that and maybe a little jail.

        Did some quick research on harassment of politicians in Europe.

        “During the 2024 European elections campaign, there were serious incidents in several countries. Nevertheless, acts of physical violence remain isolated and less frequent in the EU than in many other parts of the world”

          I think it’s a good argument. Is it not the truth that Europeans in power get on the spot protection while those that don’t have any power are forced to be sitting ducks from random acts of violence? So much for equality…

              Is it? It’s how it was explained to me in Texas and it opened my mind up greatly. I think if more people took gun classes they would understand the world differently

                understand the world differently

                That’s an interesting way to say “develop a mental illness”

                  No it’s “kill or be killed” mentality. The gun gives you ultimate protection but ultimate responsibility as well. A legal gun owner will be the most responsible person you know!

                    That is not a healthy mentality.
