the fact that you think mentally ill means it's okay to shoot him means you have lived a bit too long in the dystopiam shithole that's the USA.
You're putting words in their mouth.
did I? or did I just make the logical conclusion feom thwir words, he just said lthat you can't assume someone is mentally healthy when he approaches you and puts a phone in your face, he said many people don't understand the trauma of dealing with mentally ill people and feeling threatened thus justifying the actions of the person who shot the youtuber.
You know you did.
I really did not, what else is there to interpret from his words?
as long as you feel threatened and you have past trauma with mentally ill people, you can shoot them in a public place and call it self-defense, it's just how the US works.
Obviously, that being on the receiving end of a someone's mental health crisis is often frightening and upsetting.
Your interpretation, that they meant that "it's OK to shoot the mentally ill", is absolutely ridiculous.
How is that a ridiculous when OP was defending a guy who shot someone by saying "every person in this thread that cannot fathom how he feared for his life has never had personal experience dealing with someone with severe mental illness" and "If you think you can just assume a stranger you encounter who shoves a phone in your face is mentally healthy, you’re missing some facts of life".
What in the world else do you think that could have meant other than that it's okay to fear for your life and defend yourself with deadly force because someone is acting mentally ill?
Yep, the Glaswegians invented the headbutt just for this scenario
You're going to headbutt someone half a foot taller than you? Do you wings? Spring boots?
What are you going to do next?
Gut/nut punch to get them to double over, THEN headbutt. Or even just pull them into you by their shirt. It's not overly difficult once you know what you're doing, but don't celebrate your ignorance of hand to hand combat like it's actual knowledge.
Lmao ... he says to a combat veteran...
This shit ain't Hollywood. You aren't doubling someone over unless you've trained pretty hard. And even then it's not guaranteed. Your mugging will not be choreographed.
Lol. "Combat veteran".
Also. Lol "mugging".
You wouldn't last 2 minutes outside a Glasgow pub.
Funny. I'm not saying I'm any kind of in shape these days, just that I once was. But I was in some glasgow pubs earlier this year. Maybe you had a specific one in mind? All the ones I saw were really welcoming to a couple Americans.
🤦
... than a box of rocks.
