A 20-year-old woman was shot and killed Saturday after she and three others accidentally turned into the wrong driveway while looking for a friend’s house in rural upstate New York, authorities said
:agony: :agony:
The shooting happened just days after a Black teenager in Kansas City was shot twice by a White homeowner after going to the wrong address to pick up his siblings. No words were exchanged before Andrew Lester opened fire on 16-year-old Ralph Yarl as the teen stood at Lester’s front door, according to a probable cause document obtained by CNN. Lester, who told police he thought the teen was trying to break in, faces two felony charges in the case, which has reignited the debate over so-called “stand your ground” laws.
Truly wack-ass, goddamn awful country where "shoot first, ask questions later" is taken as ethos
Has this been happening a lot recently, or is it just that this happens constantly and people have been paying more attention recently?
according to Pew Research Center, amerika experienced record-low gun violence for abt 20 years starting in the mid-90s. then those figures starting skyrocketing around 2016 :soviet-hmm:

What even happened in 2016? Just emboldened far right?
Maybe this is naive, but I feel like to shoot someone like this you need to be afraid. Like even if the ideology tells you that someone mistakenly stepping on your property deserves death, you won't really feel that enough to kill unless you're scared. So I guess a lot of this is downstream of right wing media trying to scare people about crime (lib media is also complicit of course). Still, it's fucking unbelievable to me that there are adult white males who live in the suburbs feeling enough fear to do this.
i think its both. chuds see the rising popularity of progressive policies (and the slow increase of legit socialists that hasnt happened in amerika in 50 years) and they fear the implication this has for the status quo. this fear is backed by MSM lying abt "the left's violent riots". and the more conservative MSM outlets are stochastic terrorists that come just a millimeter short of telling their petit bourg and PMC fashy fans that they need to "secure white existence" with their guns. so they have this latent fear and rage, then they become emboldened by charismatic strongmen like :trump-moist:
