    Why did this walking toothpick put the one thing down that was keeping him from getting his head beat in?

      Because there are some people out there who have been sheltered enough to not understand the seriousness of pointing a gun at someone and think that it is acceptable to do as a joke or to win an argument.

        I think that’s part of it, but you can see it in his body language and facial expressions, he thinks he’s a big fucking deal, he has likely done his service in Israel and thinks he’s a big bad tough guy who everyone is afraid of.

        This is literally the best form of justice for these people. Sometimes you just need a flogging for a bit of a reality check. Even better it was a couple fat Texans haha

    That woman at the end is purposely wearing a flesh colored bathing suit.

    The thing that most disturbs me is how cavalier the bystanders were about the guy having a gun, which the group proceeded to fight over. They’re just sitting there filming and providing commentary. My ass would be out of the pool, out to the parking lot, into my car, and driving home.

      I was at a red-light once and a homeless guy came up and started doing the “window washing” thing. I legit had no cash on me and tried to shoo him off ineffectually. Suddenly, he gets this scared look and runs off. I look over, and the driver next to me has pulled a pistol and is yelling at the homeless man. The pistol guy then gives me a knowing head nod, the light changed, and I took the first turn I could to take any other route to work.

      This guy was waving his gun all around too, pointed it towards me several times while motioning with it for the homeless guy to leave. I own guns, I’m not uncomfortable around them, but it takes a special kind of insane to pull a gun in those circumstances, to settle a minor annoyance.

      Also like, I can’t fathom the mind of a person who sees threats with a gun as a general solution to problems. So you’re annoyed about a guy begging for money, you know what’s even more inconvenient? Being fucking homeless and having lunatics threaten you with death in the middle of the street!

      America is an asylum without walls.
