If I poke you in your back with a stick and say "do exactly as I say and you might, just might, live through this"
Are you seriously going to:
If you answer the first option, then we stop now, as you're clearly being dishonest.
Well... you won't believe me, but when I was walking home through an alley at night after my community College classes, and I had a .22 pressed into my back shoulder with a voice saying "don't fucking move", I turned around (pretty slowly in fact), took the gun (quite casually in fact) and then watched the dude run.
Then I called 911, turned the gun over to the cops, and filed a report.
I didn't have a gun myself, and I didn't shoot at his back with his gun.
So ya... I see what you are trying to do, but personally, I think I'm just pretty dumb and not a pussy.
Cops told me the guy was a simple mugger who had been working the block for about a month, and I should have just given him my wallet, but they also seemed pretty jazzed to have his gun.
Correct. I did not.
At least we agree on something
And then everyone clapped
Great job sugartits.
You won the internet with your "he should have murdered that unarmed 13 year old" rhetoric.
Feel like a big boy now?
Cus all I see is you and your kin. A bunch of piss babies running round with your guns.
No mass shootings ended. But yall real efficient bout murdering brown children.
