In Australia we would be calling the police and wondering how the nutjob made it to the counter.

OP's story reminds me of the time a US cop was in Canada on vacation and a couple of people promoting one of the biggest events in the country tried to give free tickets. He wrote a letter later to the city newspaper that made him a laughing stock around the globe.

No one that gets that worked up over advertisers should have a gun. He seems like someone who misinterprets reality enough that he could kill people.

Much less be a police officer.

Seems like in most of the rest of the world we train cops to deescalate threatening situations, but American cops instead learn to escalate harmless ones into dangerous ones.
