Homeless has nothing to do with it. A human being is a human being.
True, but the expression "women and children first" exists for a reason. The cameraman should've called 911, but asking him to charge a guy with a loaded gun reeks of "Internet tough guy" second guessing.

He hadn't even gotten the gun loaded. They should have tried something. No internet tough guy. More like internet humanitarian if you have to put a label on it.

That’s just it. It wasn’t loaded, as they were discussing. And he was struggling to load it. If they had reacted to stop him instead of reaching for their phone when they first noticed what was going on,they very well could have stopped what was happening.

He couldn't know for sure the gunman was gonna cap that guy until he actually did it.

Looking around while trying to quickly load a handgun on a public street is not normal behavior.

I mean, he was standing right behind the dude looking around suspiciously. To me it was quite obvious what he was about to do.

True, which is why I said he should've called 911. It's doubtful the cops could've gotten there in time but a good faith attempt would've been made. But charging a gunman to save a stranger? You're asking too much.

Yep. You could see right off whatever it was, wasn’t going to be good. Gang initiation maybe? Go snuff out some random person?

I wonder when a bunch of damn people go apeshit if anyone tries to ban TikTok in its totally, not just from government or business devices.

41 states have something going on in terms of legislation.

If that happens and Musk goes ahead and revives Vine, things might get interesting.

Personally, I loathe TikTok as a platform. It is insidious and quite frankly making our country dumber while getting our data.

I don't know what China wants with my insignificant shit, but its mine to serve up to my domestic overlords.

I don’t know why, but this just logged my memory of something.

I mentioned working at a slaughter house when I was a teenager in another thread. A couple of Mexican dudes approached me and a co-worker and asked if we would be interested in selling them our social security cards.

They told us they’d give us $15k each and we would essentially not exist anymore.

They had me interested until the whole “not existing anymore” thing. I was pretty worried about telling them no, but I did and they left me alone.

You must have been dealing with some low rent hustlers. Outright offering to buy your number and give you a paltry $15K to disappear?

But then again, it was a while ago.

Selling SSNs is a business though. The going price on South Blvd in Charlotte right now is about $3K if you want a pretty shit fake document. It is sad when you see these poor ass illegals somehow find $3K for garbage. I feel for them but then I don't.
