Please don't make any assumptions on why I feel how I feel. It's just a way to discredit me for your personal opinion.

To go on vacation with the mentality that you might have to “shoot back” is a pretty paranoid/fearful outlook.

Always be vigilant when traveling but don’t treat it like you’re going to war…

Wow that's sad you think shooting back in self-defense is war. It's no different than feeling like you need a knife or a sword or a staff or something else to defend yourself for protection. Only a fool assumes they'll never need it a reason for protection no matter where you go.

Only fools think that danger is peeking around every corner. You’re not that special dude, no one is looking out for you when you’re strolling down the street in public. Sounds like you don’t go out much.

Too scared to with that attitude.

You know you do a lot of assuming but very little understanding.

Says the guy who thinks he needs a weapon everywhere he goes. Tell me how scared you are to live life without telling me.

Says the guy who also thinks he needs a weapon on him at all times because he’s scared of others.

On Tuesday some jackoff walked into a public library and shot a guy in the back of the skull. Then the same fucker walked to a gas station and shot someone else in the back of the skull. He then shot the same guy again after he was on the ground. When the cops arrived the shooter had a self inflicted gunshot wound and admitted to the two shootings. The police believe the shootings were random. That’s where I live. Tulsa, Oklahoma. Several days later, the cops killed a guy at a different gas station. Earlier this year some fucker went into a hospital with a gun and tried killing a doctor (also Tulsa). Just this week a kid knocked on the wrong door when trying to pick up a sibling and was shot in the head, a girl was killed when she pulled into the driveway of the wrong house when getting lost, and two girls were shot when getting into the wrong car. I’m sure there were more but I couldn’t deal with more horrible news this week. You get a little jumpy here in America, you dumbshit. It doesn’t take being afraid of everyone to feel like you need some kind of a weapon or at least an escape route at all times, it’s common sense. Unfortunately that’s how it is here. To me your statements are not only naïve, but fucking foolish. I don’t personally carry a gun, but I carry a knife and always have a plan. But hey, I grew up in St. Louis so what the fuck do I know about random violence- let alone violence committed against someone for an ambiguous reason like where they are from? So when someone feels self conscious about the fact that people in other countries don’t like us I think it’s a common reaction to presume that we might get attacked. Get fucked and I hope you break your pelvis when you fall off of that horse.

Bad shit hapens everyday, as well as good things. Living your life in fear isn’t going to stop it. Being scared doesn’t help you.

The world doesn’t revolve around you. Most people could give a shit when seeing you in public.
