What does this have to do with your fantasy of shooting people in a McDonalds?
You are really shit at interpreting context, huh?
A user wrote that someone who brandishes in public deserves to be shot.
You asked if that applies to people who open carry at McDonalds.
I replied to note that brandishing and open carry are different things.
You replied "Watch the video." As there are several videos floating around relating to this event, and as the video in OP's article does not seem at all relevant or the one that you reference, and you don't offer any reason why some video should be watched, I found this comment to be dismissive, vague, and unhelpful.
So I replied with reference to the similarly vague and unhelpful meme of "read theory" in hopes of cuing you in to the lack of imformation without wasting too much energy on your behalf.
Joke went completely over your head. You began making a character argument on behalf Gamboa as you know the guy. Completely unrelated to where the thread began.
And then when I try to reel you back in to the topic of brandishing vs open carry, you tell me I'm shit at interpreting context.
Come on, buddy. Really? Really??? I'm not someone you should be angry at or fighting with. You seemed to have been confusing brandishing for open carry and I just wanted to make sure you were aware that those are completely different things.
Also, real fast, what is this post we are commenting on about?
I’ll be honest.
“ What does this have to do with your fantasy of shooting people in a McDonalds?”
That right there, that’s when I decided I really don’t give a fuck how you feel or what you have to say. Have fun crying, though.
Maybe I shouldn't have been so crass. Maybe you shouldn't have been so obtuse and avoidant. Mistakes were made, had I known your proximity to the people involved ahead of time I probably would have cut you more slack. More communication and explanation up front is always better.
You still couldnt answer the question though? So there really was no point at all to the McDonalds comment? And your condescending attitude after you were asked about it? The nerve.
The point was that if it was justified to shoot at the guy at the protest then it would be justified to shoot anyone open carrying to wal-mart or McDonald’s, which it’s not. The video evidence does not show anything that justifies shooting into a crowd and killing someone in a situation where open carrying is permitted. Only one person committed gun violence and it wasn’t Gamboa, he had every right to have a weapon, the man who shot into a crowd and killed someone specifically did not have the right to be carrying a weapon, according to the job he signed on for and was supposed to be doing.
I’m sure that’s not good enough, though, right?
It is, thanks
