gcj post making fun of this man

Americans have a deep-seated deranged longing to be in a situation where absolute brutality can be hypothetically justified. Self-defense violence fantasies continue to be unhinged. There’s a shitload of supportive comments in the AMA too.

    I saw this video posted to Twitter yesterday and the comments (and video) actually made me very upset.

    I am relieved to see at least in some other places this psychopathy isn’t celebrated.

    This incident has made me realize we need to solve the “small business owner” problem

      4chan celebrated it because they thought it was a black person getting stabbed until they learned it was a white man and now they’re going on a moral crusade against this shopkeeper.

      Yeah, the twitter comments had a real local crime reporting story comment section vibe to it. I thought we moved past wishing people death over robberies and shoplifting.

          There is nothing worth a human life in a head shop. Not even that ornate bong in the locked case. Someone jumps over the counter wanting it? You unlock the case and give it to them. Why the fuck are you defending the owner's property in the first place? Why put yourself at risk for shit that ain't even yours?!?!?!?

              Then fuck him doubly. File an insurance claim. This sort of thing is figured into the cost of doing business from day 1. And if it's not, the head shop shouldn't be around in the first place.

              He's just a chud who had fantasies of violence his whole life, and then one day all his dreams came true and he got to stab a child for a minor property crime. The kind of minor property crime that most DAs won't even file charges for, and rightfully so.

          I guess I should've said burgled, because the thing that comes to mind is people jerking themselves raw over the thought of burglars dying.
