“noting we were a “a long way from DC” and asked what we were doing.”

And for a more full picture, we were two 2o-something gay white dudes in a Mk1 VW Cabrio, quite possibly the gayest car ever. (The top was up and windows tinted so he probably didn’t see our faces until we stopped)

NO!.. he thought they were transvestite immigrants who were trying to give him gender reassignment surgery before making him buy an EV, installing LED bulbs in his house, and then take his job. 

I see this being the butt of jokes in most other countries for some time.

I think it’s 50% being scared about everything because of a high consumption of Fox News and 50% just itching for someone to set foot on your property so you can get your gun off... also due to an over consumption of Fox News. 

Not any more! You have first buddy Musk doing nazi salutes at presidential events... and nobody on the right cares one bit.

“a long way from DC”

True, but this was before BLM, “sovereign citizens” etc. before we all had a script memorized. He realized it wasn’t a DWB, so yeah we exercised the white privilege card and the situation was over in seconds.

Something similar happened in upstate NY (outside Albany maybe?) where a car with some young people was lost or had car trouble and pulled into a driveway and the homeowner just started shooting. It’s the whole damn country gone mad with castle doctrine BS. 

One of my friends was a firefighter/EMT, and he had an exemption to carry a handgun before he turned 21. He said a lot of first responders carry because they get called to crime scenes, and if there’s a fire or medical emergency, they can’t wait for police to secure the area first. So I’d give the fire chief the…

William Randall Franklin reportedly opened fire on the two men coming onto his property for help. Both Cauthen and the driver, who has not been named, were also armed and returned fire. All three men were hit by gunfire at some point, leaving Cauthen dead and sending both Franklin and the driver to the hospital for…

At least Franklin was charged with murder, though

Shiz I’m white as a ghost and I’m 99% sure me and a friend were pulled over in rural VA (not too far from Charlottesville) several years ago for suspicion of DWB b/c we were in a car with DC plates. Passing thru the area, went down a side road (off 29?) to see if friend’s college friend was home. Cop had somebody…

See, this is why I never want to really go to the deep south (alabama, mississippi, arkansas) as a non white person... and I want to go for some of the great driving roads and hiking I hear about. Spending a week driving around the back roads and hiking the southern part of the Appalachian mountains

This country’s gun culture is fucking off-the-rails absurd. 

I sure some sort of castle doctrine will be used as a defence, or ‘I thought they was transvestite immigrants “ 

“Then again, if he’d killed someone other than a fire chief, he may have gotten off scot-free.”

Ceci n’est pas UN train.

Train being a masculine word, the prefix should be un and not une ( which designates a feminine word ).

French, I know...

At least this is an upgrade from the other times Autopilot didn’t even see the train.
