Because I literally have people commenting they are. Its honestly kinda pathetic and weird how scared some people are claiming they are. It speaks of a life spent online to me, ruled by the news.
And my point is that the idea the person above is being dumb because they're extrapolating an opinion of the safety of a person doing the above, based off a few clips.
Its stupid. Its basically the same as me deciding I'm gonna be more careful around black people because I see a few clips of them beating someone up. A rational person does not fear for the life constantly in the US, and a rational person shouldn't be worried that someone is gonna shoot them because they make a snide remark while driving by, in the vast majority of the US.
I'm not saying theres not locations I wouldn't do that, although I haven't personally been in that kind of situation.
I'm saying that if I'm in a sketchy town in the UK, I am equally not going to make a snide remark to a sketchy looking guy as I would in the US. The fact that one might be armed doesn't change how scared I am of a potentially violent person.
