because adding guns to paranoia sure is working for america so far
So since it wasn't his delivery we can assume he was waiting outside with his gun in broad daylight waiting for a chance to pull his gun on a black guy

If your a minority in America its the only way to protect yourself. Racists going wildg, and the police are useless at best and a death squad at worse.
Not that I disagree but I think there are also probably other things that should be done.
This a dangerous attitude. Don't promote more people arming themselves as tensions rise.
pffft! in the words of Trevor Noah "The 2nd amendment was not meant for black people" the moment someone sees me strapped it'd be like hitting 5 stars in GTA.
Yep. Guy has no self-awareness.
Bunch of people like that in Jersey too. Saddens me a ton.
so if another gun enters into the equation, what do you think happens? a better outcome?
I mean sure, but what if someone lives in a "hostile" area? Everyone's experience is different, and we shouldn't discourage someone from an option to protect themselves especially if it puts them on the same level.
Lets define tensions rising. POC being abused/shot to death without anyone having accountability. As has been the case for 37 years of my entire life.
With the economy going to shit, and Trump framing POC as the other, historically speaking, we've seen all of this before. This is going to continue to get worse, as people become more and more frustrated with their lives and look for outlets for that anger that the President and well, a good portion of the nation is giving to people.
I don't need to promote rights.
You make some questionable posts time to time but dude, really?
Gonna assume that everyone quote posting Commedieu has another solution as to how we can protect ourselves from violent, armed racial aggression, right?
again answer the question, what do you think happens when another gun enters into the equation?
It's like some y'all want the violence to escalate.
It still boggles my mind that so many people in the states have guns on them no matter where they go. The article mentions that the gun totting guy was known to them. Probably pulled similar shit before yet is able to just carry a gun on him like it is his wallet.

And I don't think firearms are the solution to those problems. I think they'd only exacerbate things.
The opportunities for accidents, suicide, or escalated situations that result in unnecessary bloodshed make me feel this way. I can understand someone owning a gun for protection, but I wish it weren't so prevalent in the US.
I give myself a chance. Cause currently just feels like open season, and I'm the deer
The chances this dude has of surviving goes way the hell down if he pulled a fucking gun out too.
I'm not advocating for more guns, although it's been a serious set of conversations I've had with friends and family who look like me.
That said, the bolded is pretty goddamn insulting. Nobody wants violence to escalate. It's generally a pretty one way street, actually.
insulting? It's common sense. add a gun into this situation is an immediate escalation and we might have a very different, very tragic situation to deal with.
