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

    my dad is absolutely one of these maniacs desperate to shoot someone. He talks about how he doesnt care if someone is running away empty handed, he would kill them for daring to touch his stuff. doesn't help that hes been followed around by racist rednecks so now his paranoia is so bad he wont leave the house without a gun. He keeps trying to give me guns and at some point im sure he will wear me down.

      You have to be careful when visiting him, he is much more likely to kill a family member by accident than a burglar.

        Or on purpose. Lots of familicides start because the (usually) father believes that everyone is out to get his family, so it’s best to prevent suffering by checks notes murdering the family

          everyone is out to get his family

          Chuds murder their family so no one else is theoretically able to :brainworms:

          Few things creep me out more than the Burgerland death drive where a Burgerlander murders his own family then kills himself. :joker-amerikkklap:

      Keep taking a gun every time you visit until he has no guns left :think-about-it:

      If you’re stable enough you should just accept his guns before he does something stupid with them e.g. Mandalay Bay
