Holy shit that picture is insane and so fucking sad. It’s been a min since I read something so startlingly depressing that was completely unrelated to the authoritarian regime we’re living under, but that picture says a thousand words.
It’s not completely unrelated, why the fuck is a 61 year old (the victim) out driving Uber?
Why wouldn’t they?
The guy is an absolute psycho for shooting someone 6 times because he thinks she is trying to scam him.
This is exactly the kind of psychos that welcome a fascist regime.
May he live long and suffer through the rest of his life.
Just seeing the fear and worry on her face and whole body language is heartbreaking, while the old psycho is in absolute zero danger, but plays prosecutor, judge and executioner and kills her in cold blood.
That’s why you don’t start shooting around because of money. Leave shooting for life-endangering situations.
When money is just as important if not more than life in your society or civilization it’s easy to blur the lines between human life and money. Look at all the oil wars under the premise of some bullshit like capitalism based freedom which is basically modern day slavery. People literally died to make Dick Cheney rich.
The fact you guys are getting downvoted is wild
A few thousand dollars is not worth a life. It’s horrifying and sad that people disagree with that
When you don’t have universal health care, it is life or death
Whatever happened to “Don’t shoot the messenger”.
At the moment there is 14 comments on this thread, and not single one is questioning why the old timer had a gun.
American gun culture is just wild.
He probably bought it
Canadian chiming in here. Many of our old timers also have guns, they are just responsible enough to not shoot uber drivers. The question is not why did he have a gun but why did he use it in this manner.
This article does not give me enough information. Idk if I have the time or procrastinating allowance to go down this rabbit hole but I really want to read the full court transcripts.
Yeah it wasn’t super clear from the story except to say they both were being scammed.
She just thought she was there to pick up a package
He thought she was there to steal $12K from him.
Not sure if it was supposed to be a “prank” but shit is fucking awful, and whoever set it up is somehow still out there free to go about their life like they didn’t ruin countless others
