Imagine being killed, or killing someone, over a parking space at Walmart. Very American and Patriotic.
Imagine fearing for your life and not having the ability to kill the threat? Very European and “free”
Where can we get more David the gnome gifs?
Lol funny how one is upvoted while the other is downvoted while both not pertaining to cars… Let me guess, all are reporting me so that I’m banned because God forbid you people read a contrary view point? This post is just bait at this point 🤣
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.
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”

They all have CPOs (close protection officers) and the wealthy have private security. You just don’t know because you never see the elites, most Europeans never see the true rich
You’re just copying and pasting your shitty argument to everyone that replies? True sign of a winner.
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…
Lol funny how one person had a totally reasonable take and then you responded with some brain dead shit. It’s not that the viewpoint is contrary, it’s that it’s moronic.

Lmao I called your argument moronic and your solution was… To make an even stupider argument, but with a “rAcIsM” strawman?
You get mugged in the EU a lot?
Idk, EU may be safer but the possibility of a young woman getting violently raped is high no?
Or, you know, the argument about EU is total bullshit…

All you people ever have to argue your points is “if I do $THING, the woke mob will call me a racist/homophobe”.
What do you mean you people? I fucking hate cars but love guns. We can’t be on the same side because I like guns? This is a fuck cars community.
What if, what if, what if…
it’s 16 downvotes, man, calm down.
Lol, Imagine assuming everyone fears for their life on a day to day basis like you apparently do in the US
I don’t really expect an answer here, but where the fuck are all you weirdos coming from? Over the past few weeks there’s been a huge influx of new accounts with just aggressively stupid takes on every subject imaginable. What’s the goal here? New 4chan game? Did reddit ban a bunch of accounts from r/conspiracy? Or just weird ml shit?
I just want a place to speak my mind. I literally just responded to a comment with a take with something I see differently. I just haven’t been banned yet I guess? Eventually you’ll be back to your regular echo chamber. Funny how I’m getting attacked for responding in a rational manner.
It is rational btw, multiple states have these laws and it just makes sense. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean I deserve bans or attacks!
In Europe people aren’t really a threat to others.
Please look up the European rape crisis. 10 years ago my instructor told us how unprotected women are in Europe because they can’t own a gun. In the past 10 years rapes increased by 150%! The threat is real and protection is needed
Edit: I find it sad that people don’t dispute the statistics and just continue to report me. Facts vs feelings and such
Trolling overtime to drive that engagement. The hustle is real.
I’m a troll but the person I responded to isn’t? How??
Being from the northeast, I am not a supporter of our more southern states’ obsession with “Stand your Ground” laws. That said, I am impressed that they actually applied this fairly, given the shooter was a black woman and the target was an older white male!
Even Massachusetts has a version of SYG, but it’s limited to your home and the Castle Doctrine. Self defense is a human right and a single punch can kill a person. I have no problem with a person shooting someone who is making active threats against them and approaching them in a threatening manner. Good shoot. Happy the innocent woman gets to go home and violent thug can’t victimize anymore people because of his fragile ego.
ITT: ppl losing their fucking mind because people have the right to defend themselves. 🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽
There is relatively no dispute about what actually happened because the entire incident was captured by various video recording devices.
This sentence is relatively not good.
Community, this morning I see a lot of Anti-gun and Anti-stand your ground sentiment. I think it’s unfair to bring what this woman did with her gun to the conversation. We should feel more empathy for her situation in that moment. She felt threatened and she dealt with that issue the way she was trained.
As a Fuck Cars community we need to focus on this situation as an example of how the car creates animosity between people. If both individuals arrived there in a different form of transportation, they may have not crossed paths like this. However, because it was in a car it created friction. I experience this friction in my day to day life and that’s why I hate cars. Please let’s focus on that as a community, let’s focus on how the automobile divides us, makes us angry, tears apart our community. That’s the point of this post, IMHO.
Thank you, and I’m sorry for arguing all morning. Good day.
Ok but stand your ground is still an idiotic policy.
Car orientated development is more idiotic ✌️
lol true
It just reveals that gun nuts are just scared cowards.
Florida: Come die over a parking spot.
I’m nominating this as the most American thing that happened all week.
Imagine if she didn’t have a gun and just had to retreat to her car and drive away? That would have been embarrassing.
Imagine thinking that the man wouldn’t try to get into her car and kidnap her. Imagine thinking that the man wouldn’t have tried to taking her somewhere and rape her and keep her prisoner for years without anybody finding her. Your lack of empathy is mind-boggling. This woman had the right to defend herself!
How’s the weather in Florida?
