I never felt unsafe when I lived in SE Idaho - and I'd often see people walk into the drugstore, buy a gun, and walk out with it in hand 15 minutes later. Or all of the people walking around open-carry.

Compare that to Philly where they're a bunch of lawless maniacs and you have no idea who is armed, who is high, who is off their meds - or a combination of all three.

*Everywhere* I've lived that has permissive gun laws, I've never felt unsafe and the crime rate was low. Everywhere I've live with restrictive laws, the opposite occurred - or at least it felt that way.

The Goys shouldn’t be blamed for being shot.

They should be blamed for being antagonistic pieces of crap, though.

One of the biggest problems in the United States, is nobody takes responsibility for their actions. Of course those people should not have been shot.

But if you walk down an alleyway counting your hundreds of dollars you won at the casino, and four dudes walk toward you in that same alleyway with hoodies on, someone is about to be robbed!

We need to think before we speak, we need to think before we act.

Someone mentioned warning shots, but it is important to note that there is a significant audio desync in the video. The first shots you hear are the shots you see a couple of seconds later aimed at the Goys.

The video seen in the article is also cut short. As he empties his pistol, he goes back to the garage (while the woman is screaming in agony, unsure if the man is still alive) and comes back to finish the job at point blank range with an "assault rifle" type weapon.
